That bus is done. Transit won't bother to fix it given its age and state of damage.
Nope. They are coming in right after the transit order is 100%. They are using this bus to prep ops on the 53 for artics.
-2255, 2261, 2284 back to QV.

No it is not painted. It is a wrap.
You have to remember, on 5364-5411 (minus 5368), those buses were extreme rushjobs to debut the new scheme. Can't use those much for comparison other then that it is a fully wrapped bus.
Preview photo of 6004, which confirms two things:
1. They will have the flood light behind the first wheel.
2. The light blue on the lower half is blue SBS.

More then likely they added runs to the Q44 for the summer, and because none of the even XD60s showed up, they had to borrow buses from elsewhere to compensate for the added service. Let the first 5-6 even buses show up and hit service and those buses will be gone
Just got word, the MTA will not be doing the Long Island Railroad Shuttles this summer. Governor saw that the runs were damn near 59+ hours each, and revoked the work.
Shuttles will be operated by Coach USA. Buses will come in from the midwest from Dillions and Butler to help out.
