Cait Sith Posted November 14, 2009 Share #432 Posted November 14, 2009 you already known that Grand Avenue Maspeth Depot had recieve#4513 - #4515 orion7NG and they have #1303 - #1305 (3 bus of Design Line I'm gonna ask you nicely to type correctly, get your sources straight and stop the double posting. 1303 is in Grand Ave, 1304 is in Manhattanville, 1305 has not made landfall on MTA property as of yet. 1302 is in Zerega receiving its Capstone C65 Turbine, a better upgrade from the C30. The other 3 buses are equipped with that. Orion VII NGs 4513 up to 4519 has made landfall in Grand Ave depot, few have seen service on the Q59 already.

Grand Concourse Posted November 14, 2009 Share #433 Posted November 14, 2009 I'm so looking forward to riding those ex-Bee line buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Far Rock Depot Posted November 14, 2009 Share #434 Posted November 14, 2009 I'm so looking forward to riding those ex-Bee line buses. So am I! Its great they left the chrome rims on. FR has a O7 with those. Im surprised that even though they did apply the MTA livery on them, they kinda did a half-assed job. they look like how B-L buses would look after a takeover. no stripe around the front, and if i saw correctly, the black is still around the windows. Oh well, as long as they run, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Far Rock Depot Posted November 14, 2009 Share #435 Posted November 14, 2009 ok, after checking out Trevor Logan's other ex-Bee Line pics, i see what Eastchester did. After removing the BL logos, they covered the yellow stripe, covered the blue and yellow above the windows towards the front, extended the blue stripe forward, but not around the front. IMO, they could've atleast extended it around the front. I do like the fact that when renumbering the buses, it looks like all they did was change the first digit from a 4 to a 1. Ex: 101 was 401. 142 was 442, etc. nice. this can allow one to easily figure out what the bus was under Bee Line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted November 14, 2009 Share #436 Posted November 14, 2009 Well I think a color variety is nice, better than the same standard shades of blue. I still think it would've been nice if they left the ex-pbl buses keep their original paint scheme. Those days right after the takeover were very interesting especially seeing ex-TBC buses on the ex-Command routes. It was totally colorful. The intersection of Fillmore and Flatbush was the best with the Q35 running the ex-QSC,JBI,and its own ex-GBL buses vs. the B100 and the ex-Command and ex-TBC buses. Sorry for going ot there.

Sorry for going ot there. its all good. im about to join you. I remember those days. I personally enjoyed seeing the ex-JBLs in Far Rock on the Q22. But it was so confusing for people around the Wavecrest Apartment complex. You'd stand there waiting for a Q113, and you see this Ex-JBL bus pull up with the MTA logo on it, and at somepoint realize its a Q22!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted November 15, 2009 Share #438 Posted November 15, 2009 Yeah, I admit I was surprised seeing a JBL bus on the Q35 route. I think the funny thing is people had no problems compared to the ex-QSC buses that were repainted into the MTA blue colors. I'll miss those days...

T J Trainman Posted November 15, 2009 Share #439 Posted November 15, 2009 Its going to be really weird seeing these Bee-liners in areas they have never been to. Trainspot12 any further news with these things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainspot12 Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share #440 Posted November 17, 2009 They are waiting for the last 4 remaining O-5s to come from the Bee-Line. Once that happens (which will be the end of this week to next week) they will work on those 4 buses very quickly. Once they are finished, expect for those buses to start heading to the depots. Best advice, get your pictures and video/audio of the 1994 PBL TMCs and 1990-1991 ex-NYCTA TMCs now because they will be gone once the Bee Line O-5s arrive and to clarify, this will be an overnight situation (meaning a lot of transfers in one day). The order (SO FAR) is still for 101-124 for Far Rockaway, 125-154 for Baisley Park and 155-184 for JFK. We'll definately know the official order in about 3 weeks. Far Rockaway will be losing some of their Hybrids to other depots. The numbers are unknown, but it looks like about 10-15 Hybrids will be leaving the depot.

Grand Concourse Posted November 17, 2009 Share #441 Posted November 17, 2009 I'm hoping that it's the 3700s that Far Rock displaces. I really like the SC 3500s for the forward facing rear section seats. I hope this doesn't mean the end for 5926 and 1190 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHich is one reason why im not fond of low floors. Im not surprised that FR will be losing some of their Hybrids, theres bearly any more room for more buses as it is. and sadly, yes, say goodbye to ex-GL 5926 and ex-JBL 1190. Thats the point of getting those ex-BL buses. at FR, there will be only one Ex-PBL bus left(if they still keep that one too) and its an Ex-NYBS/Ex-GL O5 suburban. Im currently not sure of the number though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted November 17, 2009 Share #443 Posted November 17, 2009 I know those buses 5926 and 1190 will be gone, but I'm hoping they don't end up as scrap. Problem is, not many people choose to move to the back in the first place. They may as well keep the forward facing seats in the back. If they wanted to open more space for standing, they would make it a 1x1 seating arrangement at the front. Personally I would rather they have made the bus 2x2 for both the front and back so that at least it would have as many seats as the hf buses.

Personally I would rather they have made the bus 2x2 for both the front and back so that at least it would have as many seats as the hf buses. LFs will, IMO never have as many seats as a HF unless the LF is 45' long. And you are so right, most people dont move to the back. Instead, they stand inbetween the front wheelwells. MTA, and other agencies like SEPTA, use the 2x1 seating as opposed to the standard 2x2 to create more standing room. Which is also why the MTA changed the rear seating layout on those LFs. Atleast now people cant claim they cant move back cause theres no room, yet no one is standing past those rear steps. Personally, i cant wait till those O5s arrive. Bring back the HFs! :tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted November 17, 2009 Share #445 Posted November 17, 2009 True, but like I said, since people don't move to the back, they may as well keep the forward facing seats. Give people an incentive to move to the back. Personally I really like the set up on the LIB CNG NGs. But obviously it would never fly with the city. No doubt about it, I'm looking forward to the O5s [again] on the Q35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
