    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.

    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

    That’s the problem. The fleet deployment plans keep changing, it’s becoming annoying.

    I’m sure that LGA is getting 41 and JFK is getting 42, that’s why bus 9313 arrived so that it can starts JFK’s assignments (I hope so)

    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).

    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. 

  6. 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.

    Do we know if there is any artic expansion play . Ie: eny and new jam.

    No, not at this time.

    On 6/24/2023 at 11:08 AM, limitednyc said:

    Dose this include the the previously reported artic order of 300+ artics.

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

  8. Below is what the MTA has planned for future bus orders over next three capital programs. Of course these are extremely preliminary based on available funding, service demands, and the infrastructure needed to support these vehicles. As such, this is subject to change

    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 TBD

    MTA Bus New Flyer XD40 order: 9282-9387

    42 to JFK
    34 to ECH
    40 to LGA

    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.
