    They have been sending these buses out of order to the three depots until their allotment is complete. They usually deliver buses in consecutive order but I don’t know what happened with this order. I guess the MTA is like as long as they have their total it’s good enough. Makes me wonder if the MTA bus order will be delivered like that too. 

    It really makes it difficult to figure out what depot these buses belong to without carrying a current roster with you. The same distribution was done with the other Smart Bus order (9620-9910). It makes absolutely no sense at all. Hopefully the MTA Bus order won't be distributed that way.

    Why do people keep crapping on LGA? I used to ride the Q33, Q47, Q49, Q53, Q69 and Q100 on a somewhat frequent basis a few years back and their buses looked and ran fine. They may not have the best maintenance but they have improved tons since the Triboro days. 
    NYCT just sends their crappy beat up buses to MTA Bus which LGA, BP and JFK unfortunately has to deal with. MTA bus should have received brand new buses last year when the Orion OG’s started to retire but of course MTA Bus is overlooked and then on top of that are always short which then requires a bunch of old NYCT buses to come in and fill the gap. 
     

    MTA Bus still has a bunch of MCI’s left  and the recent Prevost order couldn’t retire all the MCI’s which at this point need to go. I understand the budget isn’t always there but come on now, we still have a bunch of 16-18 year old express buses running around. 

    But they're at MTA BUS, not NYC Bus. You know that MTA Bus has been treated like a stepchild ever since acquiring the private bus lines. The saga continues. Sad.

    The other inaccuracies come from relying on public trackers like BusTime and Transee, especially the latter by relying on the supposed last day a bus ran which can be wrong as some buses run with broken or inactive trackers.

    Some MCI’s that were reported to be scrap like 3273 and 3444 come to mind as those show up on the site supposedly last running in the Fall, when in reality they're still in service.

    Is 3444 still active? I have it as scrapped.
