T J Trainman Posted August 17, 2011 Share #626 Posted August 17, 2011 I doubt there will be any room.....They are going to be getting 2 and a 1/2 more local lines in the winter. I have no idea in total how many more buses LGA will need for these lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Louis Car 09 Posted August 17, 2011 Share #627 Posted August 17, 2011 Will LGA see any articsHell no dont give Dieboro coach that bus!! The only line out of LGA i see that even operating on is the Q53 since it has little curves,LGA isnt that big to house many LFSA's and lets face it LGA doesnt have the tooling to keep them together.Remember when they were Triboro coach and the conditions they kept their buses?

East New York Posted August 18, 2011 Share #629 Posted August 18, 2011 DEFINITE GARAGES:126th Street (M60), Gun Hill and Flatbush (B44)SBS RUMORED GARAGES: Casey Stengel (Q44), JFK (Q8) (Q10), Baisley Park (Q113) The Rumored garage are actually slated for Articulateds and are in the Capital Budget for Articulated upgrades to the garages. It is not known whether these garages will get these buses brand new OR hand-me-downs from the Bronx and Manhattan's New Flyer D60HFs. I confirmed this afternoon that BP, and JFK are definitely supposed to get a total of 72 LFSA's. The buses are scheduled to be ordered in January.

Metro CSW Posted August 18, 2011 Share #630 Posted August 18, 2011 Saw that coming. Replacing the 28 Orion Vs at JFK and the 39 at BP. That a replacing count of 67 Orion Vs. hmmm.... ......... 36 for each i wonder??? :/ and can I make a prediction: Would it be possible that 0059 would do a debut revenue test on the Q10 & Q60 for the MTABC?

If anything the 55xx and 56xx buses are going to be up for grabs for Manhattan garages. If the new bus works out, 126 is definitely on the bill to receive those buses + Gun Hill and Possibly Flatbush* (January 2013 at the earliest) when SBS is hitting on Nostrand Ave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted August 18, 2011 Share #633 Posted August 18, 2011 As we have all witnessed over the past few years, anything is subject to change. This is what we are looking at right now guys. This is info I got today from ENY. The 328 buses will replace whatever is left of the 1000-1109 lot, and 5250-5509. 48 Buses out of this order are said to be for the (M34)(MJQ), (M60)(126 st), and expand additional articulated service throughout the 5 boroughs. Flatbush is now rumored to be getting XD60's for the (B44)SBS to test the buses out in BRT service. Rumor also has it the route may be split with Grand Avenue. The next order for Nova artics is scheduled for January, and will include 172 buses. 100 of these are said to be for (S79)(Charleston), (Q44)(Stengel), expand more articulated service, and to shift some New Flyer D60's around. 72 of the buses are for (Q113)(Baisey Park), and (Q8), (Q10). and can I make a prediction: Would it be possible that 0059 would do a debut revenue test on the Q10 & Q60 for the MTABC? Anything is possible with "0059," but it's said to only run on the M15. I don't see it on the Q10, but that's not to say it couldn't happen. BP however is a good year away from getting artics of their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycbusfan Posted August 19, 2011 Share #634 Posted August 19, 2011 Isn't the B44 SBS supposed to start before the XD60's show up. I also don't see all 90 going to the 44 unless they want to also put artics on the local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'89 Liberty MCI Posted August 20, 2011 Share #635 Posted August 20, 2011 Flatbush is now rumored to be getting XD60's for the (B44)SBS to test the buses out in BRT service. Rumor also has it the route may be split with Grand Avenue. The split with Grand makes sense if it means the B47 will return to Flatbush. Reliefs will have to occur during the rush hour or something for Grand runs, since the Q59 has better headways during the rush hour than it does during the mid-day. Pull out, a round trip or two, and then pull in if it's the mid-day when reliefs aren't the best thing on the north end of the B44. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, ONLY 48 buses for the M34 and M60? 24 a piece IF that? I like the idea of making the M34 an artic route. Actually, it's about damn time.

The TransitMan Posted August 23, 2011 Share #640 Posted August 23, 2011 You know, with the "surplus" of artics one would think of making MOST Crosstown routes (especially in Midtown) to become artic routes. Routes like the M34 (which is going to become artic), M42 (SHOULD become an artic route), M57 (has had artics on the route before...I've been on the M57 when it was out of 126th St) and even the M31 as well. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'89 Liberty MCI Posted August 24, 2011 Share #642 Posted August 24, 2011 M35 and M116 too. So every route in the depot sees Artics on a regular basis: M15 local, M15 SBS, M31, M35, M60, M116. I think 126 Street might have an Artic-only fleet in the future. Especially after they renovate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Might be old news to some) So the M31 won't be artic...at least for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted August 26, 2011 Share #649 Posted August 26, 2011 Nice that the M15 is getting more new buses, but they need to replace the ones on the M14. Those buses are filthy and so rank. Those cushion seats hold a lot of stench apparently... :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
