Yeah you right but this is a possible scenario that could happen so.

Whatever happens, after today things should be back to normal in terms of transfers.

end of discussion.

If that were the case, other agencies would be heavily affected as well, which is not the case especially when you consider that there are agencies with very similar tracking systems(most notably, WMATA and that entire DMV region, and they were left unharmed).

And considering that it's only the new buses that aren't trackable....that kinda kills that theory doesn't it? Especially since this isn't the first time new buses have been affected by widespread tracking issues that specifically affected those units.

8990 has returned to Baisley Park after being used as a training unit at LaGuardia. The aforementioned 8983 took its place for training.

Side note, has anyone actually spotted 8968 in service? It was reported that it was delivered, but I have yet to see any evidence of that like 9006 months ago.

I want to say I saw it on the Q64 this week but I don’t remember exactly.

I have spotted 8968 in service at least once and I think other people have spotted it a couple of times too. I don't have a picture of the bus but I remember its farebox number was 5997 when I last saw it.

Likely yes

MaBSTOA depots always borrowing from each other to make service. That’s been that way since the mid 1980s
