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

I think it was damaged in an accident, but I'm guessing it has been, since I haven't seen the bus at ECH recently. (early August 2013)

Add 4526 to FP and 5392 to 126 Street. (4705 has new ads on it but still has an O/S-Hold tag on it; I suspect that 1300, 4705, 5392, and 5412 will re-enter service come fall pick.)

Wonder what is causing all these D60s to come back from storage... shortage perhaps? (I apologize if I am super late in comprehending this situation)

Also, I wonder if more stored D60s will come back; it's so strange to see 1300 and 4705 back, and especially 5392.

The New Sets are 1791-1795 I rode them today they were coupled with 1741-1745.

Does that mean 1746-1750 were relocated to a different trainset on the ?

126 Street now has 5412. 1300 and 4705 are still OOS at 126.

Actually 1300 and 4705 saw some service recently lol.

Just noticed that this is the 1000th page of this thread. 

I was thinking the same thing

An R68 hooked up to an R68A is something you'll almost never ever see outside the yard...

Well, they do run school cars using an R68 trainset and an R68A trainset coupled together at occasions.

I know have the exact numbers 8045-8089 to Jamaica. 45 NG Hybrids to QV

Now*

Shiiiiiiet, this is a weird change. (imagine the LFSs go back to QV after a few weeks like those ENY XD40s... )

I don't get Windows 8 at all... especially the fact that you pretty much need a touchscreen PC to use it. Glad I made the switch to Mac and don't have to deal with either, but 8 looks like something that could really kill Windows for good.

I've noticed, even though I'm a big fan of windows, that every other Windows software is shit ever since XP, I can admit that; XP was great, Vista was pretty crappy, 7 was great, but 8 is too complex.

Hell, they even got rid of the start menu on Windows 8, and the layout is really confusing too.

4705 in service at 126th.

Never thought those 4700-series units would return to service... and I wonder if 1300 and 5412 will enter service there too....

Looking at the NJT MCI roster it says 2 units retired. Anyone know what numbers they were ? I'm guessing due to accidents or fire.

It's way more than that now, since the Designline EcoCoach buses are replacing them right now.

Why cant R142s pair 63xx's be paired with 68xx's? Is it the strip map issue? Because both sets are R142s

They could and they probably do, but the 68xx cars are usually on the and the 63xx cars are usually on the .

MCI has made CNG buses ever since 2010-2011, although they haven't been produced in giant masses. Nevertheless, I believe MCI will do a good job with making CNG coaches.

Wait, so no more Bees at FR/JFK? I mean sure I haven't really been taking the Q35 as much as I usually would, but I didn't think all the Bees were gone from there. So I take it JFK and LGA took some ogs in exchange?

FR and JFK's Bee-Line Orion 5s were either retired or displaced by the end of July, if I recall correctly.

Anyone saw a New Flyer on a LGA route?

Yes yes I did. Q53 (and Q29 possibly).

The Q67 was one as of late, though that seems to have changed.

Their runs are sporadic and must be hunted down by other busfans before the rest of the busfan pack gets to the bus lol.

Can't the MTA use the 40 5 Car R179s for express service?

They need those sets for the and the Second Ave. Subway.

Yes.. It's 4959 which has been at MQ for a few weeks now.

I actually found 4946 lol.

So I found this 4900-series RTS-06 on the M22 earlier this month... loaner?

So I found this 4900-series RTS-06 on the M22 earlier this month...

So that means that A/C will not be anymore R32s but will be 160A for now with the whole fleet at Sutter Ave depot right

Wot the hell you talkin bout m8? The doesn't even use R32s now...

I hope Kawasaki gets it as well as lots of users here... Go Kawasaki!

Huh?

Too old for Greyhound, all the used accessible coaches that they bought have been newer.

Greyhound Canada could use them lol; they've been taking all the USA MCI 102DL3s that haven't been refitted with wheelchairs. (6000-series especially).

Wtf they're running them in airport shuttle service?

Well they do operate old buses like Phantoms and RTSs.

According to some people a RTS was on the S79 today...(Probably out now)

Others talk about an MCI on the S79 lol.

1300, 4705, 5412 (D60's) Storage - 126 (OS).

I never thought those renumbered units would enter service again... is 126th St. suffering from a shortage right now?
