Novabus 5000

JFK is not confirmed to get 179 buses. Deployment as of this week still has JFK at 153, 26 buses unassigned, and LGA to get 83.

No assignments yet.

5008 is at Zerega.

Pending due to their age is not a reason. Unless you have seen them towed out or at the very least no farebox (which is usually an indicator but not the final word) then I wouldn't say its 100% confirmed.

An ongoing situation is requiring buses from KB to be temporarily parked at Gun Hill and Manhattanville. No need to report these loans in the event you see KB buses on MHV/GH lines and vice versa for the next 24-48 hours.

9314 to JFK.

CP is not getting anything new at least for the next two years. No CNGs on order I'm not sure where that info came from, but as per the current deployment sheet, the allotment is still as follows, and has not been changed: LGA (40), JFK (42), ECH (34).

The buses will be going to MTA NYC Bus if acquired, not MTAB.

Likely a loan. 8480 was there as well.

Well as of yesterday the deployment on the XDs is still 42 JFK, 40 LGA, 34 ECH.

Do you have proof of this information? Or is this speculation? FR and JFK share a pool of buses, and I can't imagine they will specifically maintain a requirement of 20 buses per depot.

(Disregard)

Once again, I would refrain from saying which buses will go to which depots. As we have seen with the most recent LFS diesel and hybrid orders, the buses do not get delivered in order. All we know is what is slated for each depot. No fleet numbers have been confirmed.

Not confirmed. The XE40 assignments have not yet been posted, so anything going around is pure speculation.

The XE40 order is delayed 9 months to March 2024. After the situation at CT Transit, MTA requested NFI install a warning device to go off if the batteries are overheating or are experiencing technical issues. NFI is in the development of said tech. MTA requested the entire order to be delayed and the buses to have the tech new from the factory versus delivering the buses now and retrofitting them once the tech is available. NFI said if the order is delayed, MTA has to pay because of “inflationary costs”. The “adjusted inflationary cost” is an additional $79,890 per bus.
