9501 confirmed to be a glitch. 7146 is tracking as 9501.

Folks, please, stop using bustime to determine transfers.

Agreed! My bus was tracking as # 789 all day!

Source?

The bus did actually catch on fire yesterday . On Northern Blvd it’s on the citizens app and other passerby’s  whom filmed it, uploaded it on their YouTube pages. Now , whether it’s scrapped , or not that hasn’t been confirmed, but the bus is 12 plus years old.

3968, 3989, 4538, 6691, 6708, 6723, 6749, 6759, 6763: At Eastchester awaiting scrap

3968 had its rear sign removed.

This was towed away from FP maybe like 2-3 weeks ago. I wasn’t sure what the deal was with it.  Reason why I didn’t post

The bus didn’t catch on fire . The tow truck is what caught on fire

Three more 1700s scrapped /fareboxes removed

Three more 1700s have had their fareboxes removed

Did any of those run? I assume no, probably crew transfer buses or something? 

I haven't seen an express in local service anywhere besides SI since Quill ran the X90 express fleet on the local lines - O5s and RTSes with the platform seats. Used to feel like you won the lottery getting one of those.

The prevost express buses we had didn’t go out they stayed at the depot . Those buses wasn’t for service.

All of the options was exercised on the Nova order, so yes, its not 291 LFS HEV Smart Bus units along with the 209 LFS Diesel Smart Bus units.

Are the XD40s options going to be taken? I can only assume that since the pandemic , and budget constraints that it may or may not happen . And if so at a later time?

I think those buses have returned back to Queens Village..

I don't believe these 2 buses ever saw service at CS and if they were to see service would it be for the Q48?

Those were there for the snow storm. FP had 2486/2434. Those went back after the storm.

Another Update with the current  situation on the 2nd Gens, but it might it be a good end to an era with them at FP. 

#6576 is at Eastchester and save to say that bus is done.

#6594 hasn't  been tracking for days, #6580 hasn't  been tracking for days as well, #6555 wasn't  tracking this week either, the other ones from FP like #6521,#6522,#6557,#6582 & #6584 hasn't been out today at all or have been tracking either so possibly it's  save to say that those buses are done, don't  take my word for it though  because  this happened last week where the buses wasn't  tracking all day and then on the weekend  the buses was in service,  but yeah just wanted to keep an update on that.

 

So far the only 2nd Gens that is active at JFK is #6532,#6548 & #6600 the rest of them isn't tracking or in service so they may be done as well I'm not too sure on those buses up on JFK but if those are done then JFK may be the only Depot in Queens still holding on to the 3 remaining 2nd Gens which is mind blowing.

These are inside the depot . Some still have the fareboxes. I’ll check later to see 

6577, 6595, 6593,6590 scrapped 

6603➡️Scrapped

6524/6583 Scrapped
