IIRC all the 99xx's had soft seats...but there's no bus at all that's numbered 9900 for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 9900's did not have soft seat, only those numbered above 9931 (not include 9931). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Sith Posted July 11, 2010 Share #58 Posted July 11, 2010 Why? Last I was told, they wanted to renumber the last few 999x with the suburban seats to unify with the 8500s since they are express CNGs, I dont think they are going to do that now.

BJC Posted July 11, 2010 Share #59 Posted July 11, 2010 If JFK & LGA need buses, why can't the send RTSes in storage to these depots? LGA need more buses,but where do you put them at?there's a lack of space at LGA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of story! Was it this bad during the QS days? I never thought of that depot as that bad or then again it didn't seem that bad compared to the likes of ex-TBC and ex-GL.

SoSpectacular Posted July 14, 2010 Share #64 Posted July 14, 2010 College Point never looked like a junk depot to me, all those Orion V CNGs run hard! And it's got excellent drivers! We all should be dissing LGA damnit! Those ex-Jackie Gleason V CNGs are allright, I rode 603 on the way home from work Monday morning and they appear to be in okay condition! My only problem with those is how some of them have the shittiest of pickups, on 603 I could literally hear the gas pedal hitting the floor when the driver was taking off, after the delayed moment the bus picks up as normal like nothing happened... It was odd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious2train Posted July 14, 2010 Share #69 Posted July 14, 2010 What's wrong with the New Flyer buses from Jackie Gleason depot? I ride them often on the (B8) and (B35), and they seen good as ever. But I don't know that much about bus mechanics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bstar1 Posted July 14, 2010 Share #70 Posted July 14, 2010 Did Jackie Gleason get rid of all Orion V CNG? Then that means they now only have, New Flyer LF & Orion VII CNG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't know that much about bus mechanics. Take a look at the frame holding the windshields. They're basically popping out. Did Jackie Gleason get rid of all Orion V CNG? Then that means they now only have, New Flyer LF & Orion VII CNG. The ones that they had owned since all went to CP. They still have some of CP's CNGs.

Grand Concourse Posted July 15, 2010 Share #73 Posted July 15, 2010 Sadly NF and the MTA had a fallout and the last NF LFs you'll see are the ones in Brooklyn [at their age, they'll likely retire there]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted July 15, 2010 Share #74 Posted July 15, 2010 Sadly NF and the MTA had a fallout and the last NF LFs you'll see are the ones in Brooklyn [at their age, they'll likely retire there]. Well New Flyer is trying to get back in business with the MTA...which I really hope does happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted July 15, 2010 Share #75 Posted July 15, 2010 If that is true, that's great. I do like the NF buses more than Orions. If not then the Nova LFS would be a nice alternative [since the city is going the route of lf buses]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
