These are the remaining Oradell buses, near as I can tell. 

7412, 7586, 7605, 7668, 7690, 7695, 7703, 7705, 7712, 7718, 7727, 7229, 7750, 7755, 7781, 7823, 7853, 7859, 7866, 7870, 7881, 7926, 8033, and 8270.

7726 and 8979 are also active. 7726 happens to be tracking at Howell right now; think it might have covered a trip on the 139. Similar thing with 7755 yesterday; it was returned later in the night.
Is 7989 still around? Something out of Howell has been tracking with that number, but it seems to be a particularly lousy tracker since it keeps jumping to random locations.

I agree that Federal Circle would been a more ideal spot, with both of the Airtrain branches and the airport shuttles stopping there. That way the Q3 wouldn't have to circle all the way around the terminal area and people wouldn't have to use another transfer or take Airtrain one stop to get to the Service Road area. Perhaps if they invested into making more space for buses around there; I could see buses potentially drop off at the north side, layover on the Cargo Service Rd and pick up or just loop at the south side (though this spot might be too tight). That'd require one of the lanes to be converted, but I don't recall there being too much traffic on that road. They are making a new layover space at Lefferts, so that could have also been an option.

13 hours ago, BM5 via Woodhaven said:

The reason being, that last sentence sticking out, as the same thing could be said about the M60. It has no layover at LGA, and buses on the Manhattan end find whatever place possible to layover. 

Isn't the M60 a little different though, since it has to serve all of the terminals? A layover at LGA would have pax. on the bus also having to wait, or them getting off to take another one. It does tend to become pretty unreliable at some points too; wouldn't want the JFK routes replicating that, especially so with the B15.

There seems to be a lot of standards operating on the Q53+ right now for some reason. 7445, 7449, 7455 and 4510.

Apparently they were also running shuttle buses in Manhattan yesterday and today, but there seems to be no mention of such on their website or on Twitter.

Was there some type of shortage yesterday? I noticed some odd appearances during the evening rush... 8270 was tracking on the 68 and 9051 on the 64. I believe said buses are normally out of Northern (Oradell & Meadowlands respectively); they are back around the usual area today.

So I thought I'd share a little experience I had today...
So I was over at Washington Heights this evening trying to get home and was waiting at 168th in front of the hospital for the next Midtown bus, and I walk over to the s/b M5 stop and see 4263 parked there. I believe I tracked it on the n/b M5 running pretty late (15+ mins behind) and it probably got short turned as a result. Maps says that the next one was coming in around 4 mins, and since there was no other bus leaving 178th, I assumed he'd just go into service there. About a minute before the bus was scheduled, the op turns on the bus, and those of us waiting start walking up but alas, he quickly pulls out NIS and starts speeding away down Broadway (I watched it go down a few blocks), so I instead crossed the street for the M3 that was just about to turn in, as the next M5 was another 20 min wait. I thought that he might've just been going back to the depot (which didn't make a lot of sense if he was on layover), but what do you know, I pull up the tracker a few mins later and 4263 was in service on the M5 for the trip I'd expected it to be on, around the 150s.

I'm just curious as to whether it was his personal choice to do so or not, and as to why whomever might feel that he couldn't just go into service from where he was at... everyone waiting at stops north of 157th (where I think he started making stops) went a whole 40 mins without an M5 passing, and it just seems like a big inconvenience. IIRC, this has happened to me before, except the op went into service right after having left the stop I was waiting at as NIS.

As for Manhattan N/S routes, yeah they are pretty terrible during the week and you're best off waiting for the weekend when the runtime is shorter for most routes. These days traffic isn't such as much an issue but rather buses running hot and taking a slow pace for the whole duration, which I do not blame them for doing. Though I will say it is a little annoying when some are slugging it despite being behind, which leads to all the bunching and crowding and whatnot.
