Calvin Posted May 26, 2010 Share #752 Posted May 26, 2010 Heres the summer news: 18xx and 19xx are coming to: LAGUARDIA COLLEGE POINT SPRING CREEK SC and CP will swap some 2004-2007 coaches and 1997-1999 MCIs. SC will get rid of about 20 2004-2007 which might be 31xx and will be getting 19xx. CP will recieve 2004-2007 31xx from SC and it will also get a few more 1997-1999 Coaches tats 18xx and 19xx. CNGs will slowly be removed from Express Service when some 31xx and 18xx and 19xx come to CP. When all of 31xx and 18xx, 19xx are all finished to go to CP, CNGs are no longer used for Express Service and will be used for Local Service. So, SC will get rid of 31xx and get 19xx while CP gets 31xx with 18xx and 19xx.Also, some 18xx and 19xx will be going to LaGuardia. IT WILL BE STARTING TODAY MON MAY 24 AND MIGHT BE UP TO 4 weeks. MAKE SURE YOU GET UR LAST PICS OF COLLEGE POINT OF THE ORION V CNGS ON EXPRESS SERVICE BECAUSE ON JUNE-JULY, CNGS ARE REMOVED GET UR PICS READY FOR ORION V CNGS AND TA BEST PLACE FOR CNGS IS 34 ST GET READY FOR UR LAST PICS OF CNGS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennyj17 Posted May 27, 2010 Share #755 Posted May 27, 2010 Makes total sense - MTA want all Express routes to be MCI exclusive because of the premium fare.... Does SC still have O5's doing express service.....I havent seen any on the BM's in along time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I seen a CNG on the BM Express routes was about 2 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been seeing more & more soft seaters appearing on the Q25, Q34, & Q65. Those 3 lines rarely uses soft seat buses. Starting to see in the area of 2-3 Soft Seat O5 CNG's a day on those lines in the past 2 weeks. Heck, even the 85XX's are now popping up more on local lines now. Just on Tuesday saw 8570 & 8576 on the Q65. Also saw 8581 on the QBX1 on Wednesday Night with HARD Seats! I do hope to see the O5 CNG's last long enough to see the new QM #'s!
