    NVM...they look like they have been under water. 4372 and 3968 so far. There were 2 others, but I didn't catch the numbers

    Noticed a few 4××× NG hybrids getting scrapped at zerega (pcs, radiator, and high voltage cables removed). Anyone know why such young buses are getting the axe? I assume that they need either a traction motor or traction generator and are not worth fixing...anyone know the actual reason for the early retirement?

    Will the MTA ever change the color of the wheels? With the current livery of the buses, the white wheels look out of place

    There is no diesel only mode on our hybrids. The diesel engine only runs the ACTM (hybrid generator) and other accessories. The "diesel only mode" you guys are referring to may be the PCS emergency override switch.

    Being that the MTA is slowly moving away from the "blue and white with a stripe" livery, does anyone think that the road trucks, tow trucks, and other support vehicles will share the new navy blue and gold livery (similar to state trooper vehicles)?

    Will Casey Stengel be relocated or rebuilt before/after It's closure? Will jamaica be rebuilt with extra capacity to share the queens division load if Stengel is completely history??

    If they don't want to pay for sub par service, they shouldn't use said sub par service.

    Definitely not true. College Point and any other depot with a paint booth will paint sections or panels on buses as after an accident repair. Scheduled overhaul painting is done exclusively at Zerega and Grand Ave CMF (mostly at grand ave cmf). Even buses overhauled at ENY go to grand for paint.

    Saw 9503 at grand on friday

    You sure you running the right pressure in your tires? Overfilled tires ride harder that properly filled tires.

    I think it's more the wooden floors that are giving off that "aged bus" smell

    Every RTS I've been in lately, smells like a museum bus...

    When it's all of us together, car. My wife and I, with the baby, will use the subway once in a blue moon. Never on the bus though, it's too much of a hassle for us, and an inconvenience to everyone else

    I have 4 kids, the youngest being 3 months old. I feel that if these people have babies and know that they will be using the bus to get around, they should buy strollers that can easily fold with 1 hand. We don't have 1, but I've seen them while shopping for our current stroller. They are moderately priced at $200-$400.

    6099 is in the building at MCH for a retirement ceremony for "The Rabbi". It, along with 2185 and museum bus 3100 were detailed and parked near the stage on the 3rd floor of MCH.

    6099 temporarily at MCH for the retirement party tomorrow

    LFSA? Or LFS??

    MCH is an OA depot that happens to have a lot of TA people From 126th street working there. They got a 1 time deal to either be rolled back into TA Brooklyn seniority or OA seniority.
  19. Blitz
    Is MCH depot gonna get new buses to replace the 12xx nova's? Or hand-me-downs? I keep hearing both rumors from people.
  20. Blitz
    I've never heard of a MaBSTOA headquarters.

    The difference is only a couple buttons, the height of the bus, and the feel of the acceleration. That's something that can be ran through as the bus is given out during am service.
  22. Blitz
    They would put the fire out...
  23. Blitz
    iirc, New Flyer owns MCI. They don't need to gamble on introducing another expiermental otr coach.
  24. Blitz
    Extremely possible. They would need to find 5 more buses though
  25. Blitz
    It's not snowing yet, they are probably getting their use out of it until the weather turns.
