Maybe they can use the converted Underground D-Stock that is being tested.

LRV stands for Light Rail Vehicle. That's the common name given to many different models in the United States. I just really hope this is rail and not a BRT. Preferably heavy rail, most likely mainline, then light rail.

Huh, I've never seen a bus company also offer knife sharpening, car and grill, and oil change services, along with a sale on Scooters.

It looks like the Triboro RX will finally be moving forward! MTA Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=287057383459087

Based out of NYCT Charleston Depot, they'll use the Prevost and the MCI that were brought over from MTA Bus. It's not like the MTA was taking over Academy. They just took over operations of the lines.

Wait, what do they conflict with? There are no 400s and 500s at the moment.

I wonder why they went with 399 as the first number. I thought they were supposed to start at 401.

Other things to note: 1. The standard Q23 terminal back then was at 71st Avenue and Metropolitan Avenue, with a rush-hour extension to today's terminal at Union Turnpike. 2. The Q67 had a rush hour variation to the Hunters Point Ferry. I bet this is what became that first Q69 shuttle. 3. The 1996 Queens map also looks different from the Brooklyn one. The lines are thinner and each of the private companies is represented by one color each. So all Triboro lines are red, all Green Lines are green, etc. Later maps would be changed to the Brooklyn format, but now each company was represented by a different shape.

So you wanna ban a user because other users THINK he's a douchbag or because he's "looking for fame"? Have you met the guy? Have you even had a private conversation with him about this?

It couldn't have been the wild behavior of dozens of other people, right? Again, what is his crime? Did he physically assault people? Did he threaten people? What are his actual infractions? Last I recall, having a YT channel does not break the rules of this forum.

And what? Exactly what is he doing wrong? What is that supposed to mean? You need your moderator status revoked. Seriously.

......So, uh, do you guys actually have solid, concrete evidence for the guy's supposed crime against humanity? Or are we gonna start banning people because they're supposedly a "fame-hungry douchebag"? Remind me again, what exactly is his crime anyway?

Sounds like someone is a little envious......

9418 was spotted in Ohio, so the 9400s are on their way.

I thought them map holders were already gone.

That's a very interesting development. The PA already has the infrastructure for it, and their buses are getting up there in age. I just wonder what their numbers will be and who will be retired, probably the OG.

It has 5 (1965-1969) and it's thinking about ordering some more.

Jamaica is going all-electric. From the MTA's Facebook post: https://www.facebook.com/mta/posts/273422148155944

From the MTA's Flickr account: MTA Acting Chair & CEO Janno Lieber, Interim NYCT President Craig Cipriano, and Acting SVP of NYCT Buses Frank Annicaro were joined at the Jamaica Depot by State Senator Leroy Comrie, Assembly Member Alicia Hyndman, and City Council Member I. Daneek Miller on Tue., December 14, 2021 to announce that construction on a new all-electric bus facility will commence next year, as part of the MTA’s commitment to a zero-emissions fleet.

This 135 Nova LFS contract is the same 50 MTA Bus diesel bus contract that was floating around for a couple of years; now they finally awarded it and exercised an option for an additional 85 buses (50+85=135). My best guess is that if 8755-8963 are the ones coming in now, then 8964-9098 (135) would be MTA Bus. I wonder if that's why they had the HEV buses (both NFI+Nova) be a continuous range (9416-9910) instead of something like 9500-9713 for NFI and 9000-9290 for Nova.

For those keeping track, contract B40673 was the one for 50 diesel buses for MTA Bus that hadn't been awarded yet. They exercised the option for 85 additional buses.
