Read the last sentence of that statement. 66 buses were the original order, but Bee-Line added 40 more to the base order. The future options(504 and up) is up to 52, depends on how much they accept.

You're thinking a little too much and too hard into these things. The MTA can give two shits about what the fan community thinks.

Slight correction on my part, option orders are up to 52 buses, how many they'll accept is up in the air. Sited from New Flyer themselves. The extra 40 buses they added were tacked onto the base order, they were not a part of any option orders

You wait and see, just like everyone else. Wikipedia is not to be trusted by any means.

Assuming that. A. something will show up. B. It won't have issues(the R32s had the worst MDBF prior to retirement with multiple brake and door problems, R42s were not far off) C. The riding public would even know what the hell is going on. I'd just leave earlier. That question is one hell of a reach.

I'm going to reiterate this again. Just because someone says its permanent, it doesn't mean that it's actually permanent. And how do you know management says that? If this comes from those kids on Discord, I wouldn't believe them at all.....

Source? Last I read, it was supposed to be less than 50 XDE40s and 10 XDE35s to send the short Orion Vs into retirement.

its a small option order. 10 XDE35s are supposed to be included in this as well. As for the BxM4C, if Liberty Lines doesn't get a contract this month(it expires this month), you can kiss that BxM4C goodbye, since Liberty Lines owns the route.

No....no they won't.

Not entirely. Fairview is only retiring NABIs that have blown motors.

Those will likely stay at Jamaica. They basically got back what they lost when Castleton Depot was flooded and a bunch of buses were heavily damaged due to the flood waters. QV and Jamaica sent buses down to cover for Castleton's shortage, while Yukon covered some trips. As for 7568.....the bus is technically not an oddball(I don't know why folks are trippin' over that, only difference is the number and the sign). It could end up at Quill in theory, or ENY to push a Next Gen out, or elsewhere with XD40s. It could even end up at Gun Hill, they've been having a bit of problems with those XD40s up there. Wherever it goes, it's not a big deal.

Greenville is a northern division garage, chief. Nothing has changed as to what garage is in what division. You got really bad information.

Lol.....the recent NG moves is why you wait and see, just because someone says the moves are permanent, doesn't automatically mean they are.... Thought this would've been common knowledge by now, especially with how many moves have been posted ever since the inception of this thread.

That's exactly how I look at it, and why I never bothered to fan the 355 ever since it's inception.

That's the only one they'd have to get. The TX is taller in height.

I don't think they were listed as a potential suiter for the business. I think they were shooting for the battery business, not the bus manufacturing side of things.

Proterra's bus manufacturing business is now owned by Phoenix Motorcar. Purchased for 10 million dollars.....that's astonishing.

.....charging methods?

Only the battery business has been purchased.

Okay, something needs to be said, because this is getting annoying even for me. Unless its absolutely certain that a bus is retired and is at Eastchester or stripped for parts or whatever, do not report anything. Some of y'all have been making a ton of false reports, and some of y'all are trying to get ahead of the curve for clout, you know who you are, cut that shit out. Removal of farebox does not automatically mean that the bus is retired. Post only if a bus is ACTUALLY retired by way of it being towed to/at Eastchester scrap, stripped for parts or whatever, stop posting all of this situational shit that make it seem they are actually retired or not.

That part of 109 is a little more narrow than Lakewood.

Yes. they always do this. They take the 145th Street Bridge.

I dont think this happened. BusTime was being wonky today.

Not all of the NABIs at NJT are governed at 65.....some are at 55, some are at 45, some aren't governed at all.
