It's not a permanent swap from my understanding.

My guess is to get operators trained on those buses in the event there is snowfall. Often times when there is snowfall, GH usually gets the LFSs and Orions. And with the Orions being retired, they'll have to get used to another fleet of buses.

Makes sense.

Although, this is sounding oddly familiar to the Nova-XDE swap from this time last year. This is just a weird observation from my part, not an actual fact.

Yep, I was a MJQ operator at that time. I remember the slow takeover of LFS HEVs and how some people online assumed it was a temporary swap.

7495, 7549, 7491, 7488 currently in service on the Bx16

Adding onto this:

Bx16: 7488, 7491, 7495, 7497, 7549

Bx24: 7500

Bx25/26: 7490, 7494, 7547

Bx28/38: 7485, 7492-7493, 7546

Bx30: 7487, 7502-7503

The Bx29, Bx34, and none of the artic routes have any. Good luck hunting.

7546 moved as well.

Do you know how long these swaps will last?

I saw a whole bunch of XD40’s on the Bx30 today. I was hoping to ride on one but i got a LFS Hybrid. I hope that they stay in Gun Hill but if it’s temporary, I will enjoy them for as long as they’re here. 

By any chance did you see if they had Gun Hill logos?

7546 is in-service at Gun Hill with their stickers (Yellow, GH). There's a few with Jamaica stickers but they can be placed later throughout the week or day.
