R32 3838 Posted October 15, 2009 Share #352 Posted October 15, 2009 As per TTMG, this may be changed though LaGuardia: 4483-4512 Grand Avenue: 4513-4570 Flatbush: 4571-4630 (3900-3949 to Quill & 3950-3959 to Manhattanville) JFK: 4631-4655 Castleton: 4656-4677 Jamaica: 4678-4700 A person that works at BP told me that they will get NG's, But not soon, That's why they are upgrading, The lifts in the depot can't support the NG's like the OG's, and plus those battery packs, they should have gave the 3800's to BP 1st. If they don't get them that would be stupid because Castleton does not need more of those buses, Everything changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I think BP deserves them more than CAS at this point, its good to know that BP is getting them. I don't feel that BP should've got the 3800's though, IIRC the lead-acid batteries aren't as efficient as the new lithium-ion batteries, I think they're better off in Manhattan because of the constant stop-and-go to recharge the batteries.

Yep, But the depot is currently being upgraded to get the NG's, They might change their minds again, I don't think its a very good idea to give CAS more NG's and they crash them to death, Spring creek don't really need them unless they transfer their OG's, That would make sense, Their OG's would go to BP to replace their older buses, I heard that there was 1 orion V in service on the Q110 this afternoon.

Far Rock Depot Posted October 18, 2009 Share #357 Posted October 18, 2009 While I do feel having mainly one fleet type would be good, I really hope Far Rock doesn't become all hybrids. I still hope Far Rock gets those ex-Bee Line buses. the funny thing is, FR has one ex-NYBS O5 there. the oeriginal plan from whet i understood was the BLs were suppose to basically flood FR. all O5s. but given the number of hybrids there, and all hybrid fleet might be the newplan. rumor has it in th capital budget are plans to rebuild FRto a "Green" depot. anad an all hybrd fleet would fit well. hmmmm......

Grand Concourse Posted October 18, 2009 Share #358 Posted October 18, 2009 That would suck big time I hate that 'go green' irony. I would've rather JFK became the 'green depot' and make Far Rock all O5's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainspot12 Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share #363 Posted October 20, 2009 You can add 8405 (saw it on the Q35 Sunday) and 8462 (saw it on the Q21) to Far Rockaway as well. They are getting more buses as they are short now (by at least 10-12 buses) as well as Baisley Park/JFK. They were expecting the O-5s sometime this month (that's why they retired most of the TMCs) but since there is a delay in the O-5s (until at least December or January) they are going to get more buses from Eastchester scrap or wherever else the other depots can give them until the O-5s show up.

Grand Concourse Posted October 20, 2009 Share #364 Posted October 20, 2009 What? This doesn't make any sense, unless they're taking their time getting those Bee line buses ready for MTA Bus, I don't understand the point to moving an RTS down to Far Rockaway.

trainfan22 Posted October 20, 2009 Share #365 Posted October 20, 2009 I wonder if this has something to do with the Bee line order of NABI's being delayed. I know they had to fix some of find of issue on the NABI's, it was posted on buschat not too long ago... Anyways, woo hoo! RTS run at FR for a little bit longer.

Grand Concourse Posted October 21, 2009 Share #368 Posted October 21, 2009 They only got 20 of them the first time. But yes, they don't deserve the new buses if they continue to treat their buses like crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petabread Posted October 21, 2009 Share #369 Posted October 21, 2009 LGAs maintenance is getting better. I've been told the same people who over saw the overhaul of the SI depot maintenance problems are now working on LGA depot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted October 21, 2009 Share #370 Posted October 21, 2009 I sure hope so. LGA is currently the worst that most of us knows of. I wonder about Queens Village. I heard they used to have problems with their OG hybrids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q43 Floral Park Posted October 21, 2009 Share #371 Posted October 21, 2009 I sure hope so. LGA is currently the worst that most of us knows of. I wonder about Queens Village. I heard they used to have problems with their OG hybrids. I don't know what the hell was up with those buses but the QV OGs used to drop out like flies. If you rode the Q46 from end to end on any given day there'd be at least 3 parked with maintence out there. I had 2 buses randomly fill with smoke. However, they did manage to get it together now.

Grand Concourse Posted October 21, 2009 Share #372 Posted October 21, 2009 Yeah I remember reading about those threads, I sure hope QV has it's act together. I would've wondered maybe they should send QV the NG's and move the QV OG's to LGA If those OG's were going to get scrapped, they'd be sure to end up at ECH much sooner there.

LandoftheLost Posted October 21, 2009 Share #373 Posted October 21, 2009 why do you think LGA Depot have the worst bus. while #9300 series had run on the Queens village depot or Jamaica depot.? the worst bus that i think LGA depot have is #9700 series 1994 RTS.

LGA is reported to be the worst in maintaining buses, therefore, why should they get newer buses to 'trash'. If they are going to trash any buses, let it be buses that are likely on their last legs. That's what I mean. If LGA truly is getting their act together, then IMO, do they deserve newer buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
