Metro CSW Posted January 29, 2012 Share #801 Posted January 29, 2012 Actually, its supposed to be from another 172-bus order, for a total of 500. yeah, it was. TA bumped it up a noch a little, to a total of 656 buses. People are speculating wether this order will bring the end to the D60s reigh over the MaBSTOA.

East New York Posted January 30, 2012 Share #802 Posted January 30, 2012 Actually, its supposed to be from another 172-bus order, for a total of 500. It was supposed to be from a 172 bus order. That was before it was delayed and the total was increased to 328. yeah, it was. TA bumped it up a noch a little, to a total of 656 buses. People are speculating wether this order will bring the end to the D60s reigh over the MaBSTOA. There is nothing to speculate about. 656 new Nova buses tells all you need to know. There are only 300 D60HF's . Lets not forget about the 180 New Flyer artics set to come as well. Those D60's are as good as done. All of them. A few may end up at Baisley and JFK though.

Blitz Posted January 31, 2012 Share #803 Posted January 31, 2012 I would take a D60 over an LFSA any day and not just because i hate all things low floor. On the D60 the acceleration is better, the brakes are more responsive, and I believe that you could probably have suburban seating throughout the bus and still have more standing space than an LFSA. The only thing the LFSA has over the D60 is the engine is more fuel efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACEVE14 Posted January 31, 2012 Share #804 Posted January 31, 2012 That's right. In two years from now. Boy we will see a great fleet total of 90 (2009-10) + 328 (x2) = a wooping 746 LFSA in completion. Enless the subject of the order changes drastically.... yeah, it was. TA bumped it up a noch a little, to a total of 656 buses. People are speculating wether this order will bring the end to the D60s reigh over the MaBSTOA. 656-746?! SAY WHAAAAT??!:eek: You mean to tell all of us that in 2 years from now, the is going to extend the whole fleet of LFSA Buses and throughout the 5 boroughs of New York City? I'm sorry to tell you this, man. But, this piece of information from the that you told us. I don't like it. *10-second moment of silence* I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEE IT!! * laughs jofully to himself* I always new this would surprise me but not like this.:eek: I'm very excited and can't wait any longer so see all of those buses running the 5 boroughs and to have a full fleet of Nova Bus LFSA buses running for The Bronx Division (Kingsbridge, Gun Hill, West Farms, & Mother Clara Hale Depots), Brooklyn Division (ENY, Flatbush, Grand Avenue, Jackie Gleason, and Ulmer Park Depots), Manhattan Division (126th St, Manhattanville, Michael J. Quill, and the Tuskegee Airmen Depots), Queens Division (Casey Stengel, Jamaica, and Queens Village Depots), and Staten Island Division (Castleton, Charleston, and Yukon Depots).

overclocked Posted January 31, 2012 Share #806 Posted January 31, 2012 Is it rare to see Bx19 using LFS-A? I never seen them on this route until today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenEleven Posted February 1, 2012 Share #807 Posted February 1, 2012 Is it rare to see Bx19 using LFS-A? I never seen them on this route until today. The Bx19 is an artic route for the most part along with the Bx15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsbridge Bus Posted February 1, 2012 Share #808 Posted February 1, 2012 Is it rare to see Bx19 using LFS-A? I never seen them on this route until today. LFSA's on the Bx19 has become very common, West Farms has close to 30 LFSA's now and 2 articulated route (Not including the 2 LFSA's trhat run on the Bx36 every weekday). In other words, there are many LFSA's on the Bx19. Therefore, it is not rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsbridge Bus Posted February 1, 2012 Share #810 Posted February 1, 2012 Thanks for explanation, I though it was something special, because I always saw older articulated buses on this route. This is probably because the LFSA's have been at West Farms for no longer than a month I'd say, some for less time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East New York Posted February 19, 2012 Share #818 Posted February 19, 2012 Wait what was the production rate? 16-19 buses per week or month? Per month. However, production was sped up to get things back on schedule. Production will then go back to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Posted February 19, 2012 Share #819 Posted February 19, 2012 Per month. However, production was sped up to get things back on schedule. Production will then go back to normal. The current production is scheduled for 14 buses per month on this order until September 2012 when production moves up to 15 buses per month. As per the update deploy intel, 100th Street/Tuskegee is suppose to get 12 buses before months end and then 14 in March, 14 buses in April and then 3 in May.

All of that is still to be decided as MCH has not even had groundbreaking yet. Anything can happen between now and when the depot opens. Especially with 126th St. Set to close after MCH re-opens... Don't be surprised if that order goes to Flatbush. They could go anywhere..... Especially with another 418(90 Xcelsiors included) artics to follow. 72 of which will be going to BP and JFK. The rest will all be TA unites to kill off the most all the rest of the D60HF's. In addition, lets not forget the 90 DE60LFR's coming in this year. All together, thats still around 630 buses left to be delivered, including the ballance of the current order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
