Because to be brutally honest, I'm the one running that roster show and doing the coding work on my own and its a little bit more unnecessary work than I care to do. Having it listed as a split line, which that's what it is and having the notation that Charleston is open M-F only should suffice enough to those who use the left sides of their brains. Just saying...

Hell No! Lucky I'm even entertaining maintaining a roster for them!

Yeah I realized I made the error on the S78...

No different than keeping up with the moves... Like fine wine, the roster is getting better with time! Um, if you look its there, look at charleston...then look at yukon...

New Addition to the Depot Roster! We now show the buses that are currently Out of Service at a Vendor or a CMF Updated as of 10:50PM: http://www.ttmg.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=New_York_MTA_Bus_Operations_Depot_Roster

Sure do... 4946 is at Grand Avenue CMF getting some work done. She'll come back to FB fresh as F***!

Spot on Sir! Some people think it would be 5252, but its not!

MA is Meredith Depot. If you look on the roster in the table of contents, it shows the depot with their official abbreviation. Learn them! I very seldom speak in full length names. TO Meredith FROM Charleston

Updated as of 5:30PM: http://www.ttmg.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=New_York_MTA_Bus_Operations_Depot_Roster Changes: 2811 to MA from CH

Well the minute it happens and those buses are keen'd and fueled, we will change it on the roster.

That makes ZERO sense, they would not send a bus they would not be getting. There is more than enough XD60s lingering around for them to send one to MQ for training, much like 4734 being at GH right now. How are you going to train operators on a XD40 when the XD60s function differently and are mechanically a different animal. So either MQ is getting a couple of XD40s themselves OR its there for some type of special need.

Sorry about the date error, did that update half asleep. It works, I say 85% of the time perfectly. However, I can't see them scrapping the system, if anything they'll work on a solution to get it all right.

They are physically in the depots, but are sitting OOS with Scrap on their windshields since the 6th of January. Well, just got confirmation that the GPS systems in some of these buses can not be trusted. 6789 is showing being in Karnataka, India. some 8000+ miles away....Meanwhile it was in service yesterday.

Roster is updated daily... between 3 and 9pm (usually twice within that time period)

I D K what buses YOU riding from LG, but get on any garden variety LG RTS or Orion V (I ride them daily), do a good look around you inside and out, then go ride, say a Fresh Pond RTS....

Good, LG don't need to be beating up anything else right now. Its a shame how those RTSs and Orion Vs look. I don't want to hear any excuses neither, most of those buses came to LG is almost like new condition. The Orion 7 Gen II+s, god bless them are getting repainted, but those Orion 7 Next Generations are looking like they've been there for over 10 years! Luckily most of the MCIs are just Rush Hour buses or they'd look like shit too. #truth
