They'll still have to rotate the local buses out of there later in months or so. From what I remember, the maintenance is done at JFK. FR is pull-ins/pull-outs at that depot and that the fare is collected from their farebox. 

* Their own fleet for now are the Prevosts and MCIs for the Express

Yea.......     ...... thanks..............

Layover; for service on the J90 this weekend 

Buses from one depot get sent to the other for weekend shuttles and return on Sunday night or original driver will go meet bus 1/2 way and use that bus for a route for Monday’s AM service for one or two trips.

682 is indeed @QV at the moment.... Not sure why.

8652 was tracking as 682 on the Q88. Is 682 actually at QV or is the tracker bugging out?

QV is a hefty distance from the J90. Wouldn't JA be a more reasonable depot or another depot in Brooklyn such as ENY or FP?

No they don't. That has never, ever happened. They can't send a CNG bus to QV in particular since QV can't even fuel the bloody thing.

It's just tracker being stupid. Stop making things up.

1. See response above.
2. Distance does not matter when it comes to open shuttle work. If depots have open work for shuttles, they'll do it. Staten Island has done subway shuttles in Manhattan, Queens and The Bronx, so it doesn't matter how far it is from the job.

Subway shuttles can get their buses from pretty much anywhere in NYC. The buses used on the Lenox shuttles some months ago came from Flatbush and Gleason, among other places. I'd have to check my footage, but I may have seen a bus or two from Spring Creek, as well.
