LRG Posted June 29, 2010 Share #152 Posted June 29, 2010 Someone stick a fork in me right now. The MTA NEEDS to just cancel this order already. It's a waste of money and all the precious time in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Posted June 29, 2010 Share #153 Posted June 29, 2010 They still need 1307 and 1308 to finish the pilot order of 8 buses. You mean they need 1307, 1308 AND 1309... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R22 Shoal Point Posted June 30, 2010 Share #154 Posted June 30, 2010 I've read through most of this thread, and have afew questions. Can someone list the spec changes between the buses and which buses have which spec's? Which buses have been delivered and where are they based? Can someone list the delivery dates (or aproximation) of each unit so far? And finally, has it been confirmed that the option for 60 buses has been taken? Thank you very much for your help.

From what I understand, after the fiasco on the RFK Bridge (I think it was 1304) the engine was upgraded from a Capstone C30 to a C65. The ones we have now is 1302-1306 and those 5 are either at Quill or Manhattanville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova RTS 9147 Posted July 23, 2010 Share #157 Posted July 23, 2010 Is there any update on the order? According to Wikipedia the order was discontinued. While I know Wikipedia has shoddy reliability, I am wondering as to what's going on with the order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YankeesPwnMets Posted July 24, 2010 Share #159 Posted July 24, 2010 Hey guys, quick question, is there any chance this bus will go on the M22? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted July 24, 2010 Share #160 Posted July 24, 2010 Hey guys, quick question, is there any chance this bus will go on the M22? The way it's looking right now, these buses won't be going anywhere except back to the factory. I'm still trying to get some info. If anyone else knows, go ahead and join in at any time.

R32 3348 Posted July 24, 2010 Share #161 Posted July 24, 2010 1302/1305 were spotted on the M9 on several days in recent weeks. The M22 may be a possibility, for all we know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycbusfan Posted July 25, 2010 Share #162 Posted July 25, 2010 Only one out of the 3 was on the M42 yesterday so I'm guessing that they were operating elsewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if one had already ran on the M22 at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova RTS 9147 Posted July 26, 2010 Share #167 Posted July 26, 2010 The question is, will they exercise anymore options. If it takes this long to test and deliver nine buses then I seriously hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3348 Posted November 12, 2010 Share #170 Posted November 12, 2010 People keep talking trash about the order, but seriously, let's wait until the buses are actually here before judging them based on how long it's taking for them to arrive. Last time I checked that has nothing to do with performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I checked that has nothing to do with performance. It definitely looks like they are here to stay. I was waiting for a certain person to post what they have been hearing. I'm doing a little digging myself right now, and if what I was told was true........ Well, let's just say we need to add more buses to that 745 Plus thread! EDIT: Ok, wait a minute.... I'm getting conflicting stories......... I got like 3 stories in the last 90 minutes. So it means something is definitely going on, but I'm clueless as to what it actually is. Everything about DL has been a mystery to me since they tested that 35 footer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted November 13, 2010 Share #172 Posted November 13, 2010 Finally saw one of these things with my own eyes and caught it Tues ((M42); never even saw it all the time one of them was at Grand Av). Truly like a baby RTS. Except for how the openable window tops in the back have evolved into new standee windows, basically (so old/new-look).

Princelex Posted November 15, 2010 Share #174 Posted November 15, 2010 On Friday night after work, I saw bus 1306 IN SERVICE on the M1 going to Harlem-147th St. I was on the corner of 97th and Madison and I thought it was 1304 coming but then I looked down and saw the number 1306 on it. I was just happy to see that it didn't have sandbags in them LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
