What happened to 6476?

Not to sure. I just seen it at Zerega with a farebox nor radio.

At Zerega, not Eastchester? Wonder if that could be an MTAB transfer in the works, which would be even more interesting.

At Zerega parked in the back along with two other 6400s and 5218. Had a note rear window. It was towed there around April according to the note.  That was in May. I haven’t seen 6476 around the depot.

Is it safe to say 6476 is a goner? My apologies if it has been reported already.

Im not sure if its scrapped, but saw 6476 @ Zerega on 5/24 without a farebox and the radio was taken out!

That was a loaner. It's still at CS

It was parked on Track 16 this morning. It was the  first bus on the track when I pulled in. I took a photo of it.

*Please delete this post*

4186 is @ QV from CS

Nice Bus 17 ?? now sports a MetroPCS full wrap.  Saw it Friday deadheading to the depot.

This dates all the way back, but it’s very true (not a rumor) that Brooklyn division as a whole didn’t want anything to do with Orion’s of any type. EN, FB, and UP all tested the OG, and none of them wanted any. Even right now EN can’t wait to get rid of the OG’s. Eventually they were forced to get them anyway, and UP remained all RTS as they also rejected the NG. Flatbush on the other hand was willing to take them as many of the rookie drivers (which FB had a lot of at the time) usually tend to hate the RTS because they are not as easy to operate as the newer and lighter low floor equipment. For example, only veterans are comfortable taking an RTS out on the B13 because they don’t have as tight a turning radius as any of the other buses. 

How about ENY send over all of there OGs to QV? lol I wouldn’t mind them. I enjoy them especially the 6800s.. Since we already have 6845-6852, 6854-6905. Why not inherent, 6790-6843, along with the earlier 6589-6624. They can have 8000-8058, 8470-8503. Lol 

Question: Is there a reason why QV can't be an all hybrid depot like Manhattanville?

And LFSA 5514 gets the honor of being the first Cuomo scheme bus with a side ad... (not my photo) 

 

They seem to only be putting ads on the left sides of the Nova LFS/A. I wonder why the right side of LFS/A are not seeing any ads..

QV is said to be in the books for XDE40's. We have 285 total coming. 10 pilots are pending delivery now to Grand Avenue and Zerega.

Thanks again to you and The Real for sharing all of that information. Got it! I just was curious as to what QV was getting. As I do take note things are subject to change.

Question has already been answered. The XD40 assignments does not include the New Flyer XD40s for QV. QV is likely to get the Nova bus LFS. Just got to wait for the assignments from ENY/The Real.

I'm aware of that. I read the updated first page. I said "It would be nice if we got some😁." 

Thanks for the updated information ENY/The Real. Question? Excuse me if it has been answered or not confirmed. Is QV in no need of new fleet? The 6400s are the oldest and it would be nice if we got XD40s😁

When the new LFS come in will QV give up their 8000s/8400/8500s to Jamaica? And inherent more hybrids?
