3708 and 3751 are pending retirement due to their age.
3821 broke down on March 15th, and hasn't been in service since.
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.

I’m hoping CP gets some new locals soon. The C40LF are pretty beat up.
CP is not getting anything new at least for the next two years. No CNGs on order

LGA: 9272-9312 (41 buses)
JFK: 9313-9354 (42 buses => split 21)
EC: 9355-9378 (33 buses)
These could be the number assignments but take that with a grain of salt, also I hope my counting is correct lmao
Also… (I’m gonna just assume so don’t take this seriously) since Novas are almost finished at BP and rolling in JFK, there’s 308 buses in total which depending on how much LGA would get I’d assume it would be a split from the 262 buses (excluding BP) that they would get. JFK would most likely have 9010-914x assignments and then LGA would have 914x or 915x-9271 assignment. But then again MTA loves to play the changing games so I’m going with what I see happening rn
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.

8101: Jamaica to Casey Stengel. Bus is on the q20b as I type this.
Likely a loan. 8480 was there as well.

Correct but as always with the MTA, they change their minds multiple times a day, I would not be surprised at all if 9272-9354 all go to LGA at this point. Due to parts consolidations.
Well as of yesterday the deployment on the XDs is still 42 JFK, 40 LGA, 34 ECH.

For the upcoming XD-40 order out of MTA Bus, for JFK, it's said that they'll receive 40 units. However, they'll be split in 1/2: 20 of them will be at JFK while the other 1/2 will be at Far Rockaway for their local routes (example: Q22 and Q35). The numbers can be rotated so they still have the same 40 unit total.
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.

There was a depot assignment for the base LFSes for Bus Co.:
BP: 8964-9009
JFK/FR: 9010-9049
LGA: 9050-9074
EC: 9075-9098
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.

Grand Avenue. They are supposedly going to receive XE40s, but so is East New York.
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.

Not true. The MTA posted photos today of it still at UP.

No, not at this time.

No, it does not. Those were part of the 2020-2024 capital program orders.

Bus has BC fare box and BC tracker so it seems like an official transfer.
Until it sees service on a BP line, wouldn't count it. They're literally about to get an entire batch, so this is more then likely training as originally stated.

135 buses confirmed on order for MTA BUS / NOVA LFS
- BP - 46 (8964-9009)
- JFK - 89 (9010-9098)
I wouldn’t start quoting fleet numbers yet. We have clearly seen in recent LFS orders the buses are never consecutively delivered in batches to the assigned depots.
Assignments were posted a few months ago:
MTA Bus Novabus LFS order: 8964-9271
136 JFK
46 BP
100 LGA,
26 TBDMTA Bus New Flyer XD40 order: 9282-9387
42 to JFK
34 to ECH
40 to LGA6 -

Is this a permanent move?
Temporary until ECH gets its new batch of XD40s. I'm sure the buses may get rotated, but now that the NF is the standard training bus, they must have a few at ECH for new hires completing their NY State CDL driving test. I'd also presume that may be why ECH is getting a few extra buses to accommodate training and regular service.

4337 (KB) was purchased by the FDNY, and is currently in Randall's Island.
It was not purchased. The FDNY will complete training activities and then the bus will be returned to ECH until it is transported for scrap. They did the same thing with 4947 and 5054.
