CS would be at a shortage if they retired the NGs with no replacement. The 2 LFS can only kill 2 NGs. Stengel would be forced to keep the NGs longer than expected because of this recent transfer. It would be extremely hard to retire the NGs from the XE40 order since the depots getting the XE40s don’t have anything that fits in with Stengel’s fleet.

This is also largely dependent on how many buses are used on regular day at CS. Outside of buses held for maintenance, the depot is never empty and always has spares.

Either GA or ENY. I don’t see why Brooklyn needs extra buses from Jamaica when Brooklyn is getting 30 XE40s. Enough for a one to one replacement in Brooklyn.

The XEs won't be replacement buses, but to add to the fleet in general. The next big order will push out a lot of buses. 4966 was supposed to go to the other depots that's supposed to receive the buses, but that one bus has been going through quite a bit of problems.
