Yes, ran on the 38 today. It has since pulled in. 9511 was also out this morning. 9683 to scrap

9674 back in service at Grand

But yet the stats show that the Orion 7 CNGs and D60HFs are performing worse then those buses...

5987 is not leaving stengel. It is going around depot to depot for examination. It is still assigned to stengel.

See below. Currently there are none in active service. Here is the breakdown: -Flatbush : No units assigned. -Fresh Pond : No units assigned. -East New York : 9503, 9580, 9590.

All the remaining 97-98s at Grand are listed OOS in the system.

4984 is retired. Bus had a fire

A) What does that have to do with this thread? B) Those buses are much more durable then the new buses being built today. Just because you may not like them is not reason for them to be tossed. ...next

9684 to scrap

9480 to scrap

The turn around at dekalb is what prevents artics on the line

Unknown, Will find out next week. There were no doors and missing windows though, maybe a fire?

4984 is scrap. Just saw it at ECH

9526, 9667, 9678, 9678, 9680, 9692 to system reserve.

4805, 1016, 1021 to scrap All of the quill RTSs are officially on the scrap list

4933 to ENY

They are OOS due to electrical issues regarding the screens. Haven't been pulled from SBS all together.

Oops, meant 5059. Updated above

To answer any questions. The Current Grand Av RTS fleet is: 1999s - 4942, 4944, 4946, 4983, 4997, 5009 and 5059. 1998s* - 9459, 9467, 9471, 9482, 9488, 9510, 9514, 9519, 9525, 9542, 9674, 9679, 9683, 9685, 9697. * All of the 98s are listed as OOS right now and none are out. This is the same way the quill units went to scrap, so it is possible these buses are done. However not confirmed. Yes it is, but it has no GPS.

Quill will still have the 5000s for the 66/72 I just saw a photo of the 9000s up at Quill. They all had their fareboxes and radios pulled and are marked for scrap.
