5400 - storage to 126 Street. While I was waiting for 5392 to come out of its layover (and after 4705 had passed me), 5400 came off the RFK.

 

BTW, when were the last four "old" C40LFs withdrawn from service?

Weeks ago.. I last saw one back in August I got a picture of it.

Well I've seen no mention of this. Shockingly lol

 

4711 NEW to KB. About damn time

James reported it to the a Vendor like last month lol, but it finally went into service.

2070 Storage - UP.. 5113 sitting in SC lot with no stickers.

567 and 568 are now in Spring Creek Depot.

 

btw did someone report 5028 at Ulmer Park

Yes I reported it weeks ago.

4457 is at QV (dunno if it was reported)...seen it on the shuttle

 

...just found out there's an shuttle apparently

Lol and 4467 is at QV. I was passing by lefferts last night and saw it deadheading from the shuttle.

5074 back to MJQ from UP.

It's been back to MJQ for 2-3 months now.

I saw 9671 on the B20 earlier this week

Ahh, I forgot 9679 went to FP as well I think

Get ready for this:

 

6312 was on the B62

6325 was on the B38 (already reported)

9669 was on the B26

9667 was on the B57 (I caught this bus in Bed Stuy)

 

Its about damn time GA got some 96xxs.

They been had 9600's.. 9667 was at GA for a couple weeks now I believe. Didn't know about 9669, they have 9670 too I heard.

2177 CH - UP.

4942 at UP

Reported it last week when it came.

If anyone is curious about 5004, it's back at ENY. Spotted it yesterday afternoon in service on the B45.

Where was it before?

5035 UP - FB. On the B41 LTD right now just left Bergen beach.

was 4937 and 4963 reported at UP? just saw both back-to-back to av u

Yes I reported them when they came in.

This swap with JAM/QV/UP is for 45 each correct?

Nobody knows anything for sure yet... I just know what comes in and I keep track of the #'s. This JFK Depot guy keeps saying things and we don't know if its true. If they were gonna move more buses into UP it would've started yesterday. They haven't done anything since last week, a guy I know who works the yard said nothing is coming in at the moment.

From bus chat 4964 is now at the GA depot it was seen on the B-57

Wow so EN is losing some 4900's so far. No more 4900's came from JA - UP as of late well not that i know of.

I too just saw an Orion 3G on the Q46 (4479, I beleive). What's the deal with this switch? Haven't seen a 3G at QV in a while. I can't tell from the above comments

That's not a 3G it's a NG.

MTA Bus's buses require DOT certification since NYCDOT still funds MTA Bus...

Yeah I know this..

It's not an even swap tho.... JA are losing those NGs...

There's NOT enough 97 Novas to cover the loss of LFS's to JA

NG's and Novas to QV...

Novas to UP...

JA gets LFS's

Jamaica still ends up short unless they aren't sending ALL 49xx's to UP...

Lets not say this just yet....

And if your right then its 4900-4940, 4942-4944. 4941 is scrapped its actually shredded into pieces (months ago).

And how do you know this????

Fresh Pond is right.... All NYCT buses that go to TA bus have to be DOT certified.. If they DO NOT pass inspection then they have to get fixed or whatever is wrong with them. For MTA Bus its mandatory.. NYCT doesn't have to get their buses DOT certified.. I didn't know this until someone told me this summer.

And stil no new arrivals for MTA Bus. Smh.

And.. They might not get any at the moment.

I meant from the LFS-NG swap, not when they had to borrow from other depots

It's the same thing basically. But I haven't heard any reportings of the NG's on service yet. I know somebody mentioned that there were a couple of them there.

UPDATE:

 

Grand Avenue:

6097, 6169, 6280, 6289, 6292, 6338, 6348

 

East New York:

6316, 6235

6316 isn't at EN its at GA I saw it last night on Ralph on the 47 heading to the Plaza. 6325 is the one that's at EN. 6289 has been at GA for a few days now, caught it in training the other day.

Correct me if I'm wrong wasn't 4941 scrapped due to a fire?

Yes it was my bad, I typed that one by mistake.

Not exactly....2 went to Flatbush 4961 and 4962 i believe

Yeah, I saw 4962 yesterday on the 41. Didn't know 4961 was there too.. So far 4963 is the only one at UP.

Back to topic.. 2 more 05's heading for EN.

Disregard: 2480 is NOT in or

Going to Staten Island.

4048 GH - CH.

4908, 4941-43, JA - UP just arrived to the depot.

Here as in QV or UP ?

9300's going to QV..

Like I said before... 8015-8089 to JA... Watch

Only way it makes sense

4900's out

4400's out

For 8000's to replace them.... Even if QV ends up taking the rest of the 4900's back.... It looks like we've seen the last of them in Jamaica

4900-4944 gone.. Just watch and see

umm 4900's leaving EN too just a couple.. They have 5 05's. not all the 4900's leaving JA..

QV is getting 35 NG's and whatever amount of RTS. 8045,8048,8052,8069-8071 and maybe a few

More are at Jamaica. 9391-9399 are at QV..

Oh wow now it's 35..
