Breaking news on the JG Orion CNG

[tkx2510]

Well is i know according to the ttmg transit wiki the the OBI Orion CNG Has been with the Jackie Gleason Depot In Brooklyn For years. And now 8 of them had moved to MTA Bus College Point Depot in queens and I bet the rest has been put to scaped in ECH Depot.

 

Here is the link to the updated bus roster..

I'm not surprised. The three-digit O5 CNGs from Gleason didn't even have that much mileage. It'd be stupid to get rid of them yet, they have like another year to go until the next CNG order comes in.

Check the shoutbox, and I reported the moves to Trev.

This is crazy. While I'm happy those buses aren't being retired, why move them to CP? It's basically a bus swap. I mean is it because it's closer to ECH so those buses can be sent there when they are beyond repair? Really bizzare.

 

Also I thought CP was no longer keeping the O5s on express buses [thus the move of the MJQ D4500s to CP]? I guess this means some are staying on the express?

The buses can be used for local routes as well.

[Grand Concourse]

Oh that I know, but this move of the JG buses just seems so strange to me.

You hit it right on the nail and our depot needs help ...We need mo' buses

Exp CNG s being used for local svc

[Grand Concourse]

CP had a shortage? And can they handle the extra buses?

[KNIGHTRIDER3:16]

(W)e are awaiting that order but we have too many O'S buses and svc is getting hammered

Or what's left in the express department. I saw 8569 on the Q66 today.

[Grand Concourse]

That's kind of a shame. Have the 8500s ever ran on the locals before now?

In 2007, I usually only saw them on the lighter-use routes such as the then-Q65A and Q67. Now, they are on heavy lines like the Q34.

[T J Trainman]

CP is short????? They cant be a s short as LGA. nvm. Im not gonna get started on that one.

[Calvin]

idk why JG has 98xx and 99xx CNGs. Can it go back to CP and make JG New Flyer and Orion VII CNG type bus for JG??

CP, JFK, and LGA need buses.

[Queens Surface]

CP, JFK, and LGA need buses.

 

If JFK & LGA need buses, why can't the send RTSes in storage to these depots?

[R32 3838]

Basiley Park as well, I heard from a freind that works at BP, they had to borrow 3715 and another OG from JFK because of those ex Bee line buses, BP is 7 buses short,

 

I agree on One thing, They need to bring those RTS back out of storage.

But you would deprive JG of HF buses, which have more capacity. It is best to just leave them there. For CP, when the CNG NGs arrive then they can retire those ex-NYCT O5s.

They really should've kept those 8600s from MJQ around longer. Short sighted to retire them all when they did.

[KNIGHTRIDER3:16]

(T)hese 5xx and 6xx are at my depot strong ,Itleast 15 of them

And the one's from ENY. The majority of those buses were still good IMO.

Your guess is as good as mine.

BP needs artics...... Like 2 years ago.

[Grand Concourse]

I disagree, the 8600s from ENY were pretty bad. Probably in part because of so many lines being pretty long like the B82. Overall MJQ's were superior.

 

As for artics, they are only good if they replace a 40' bus directly, but knowing the MTA it'll be more like 2 artics replacing 3 40' buses.

[RokuSix]

College Point's local routes could definitely use the help.
