to add on to the Spring Creek loaners, they also have 6699 (or 6690, couldnt really remember) from Manhattanville. Spotted it about 15 minutes after seeing 6493, still with Manhattanville decals

 

6493 would be a Fresh Pond bus...do you mean 6394 or 6403?

 

BTW, also on loan to Spring Creek---3513, 6848 and 6856.

 

BTW, B17EastNewYorkDepot---you mean 6847---6487 is a Queens Village bus.

I saw it in the back , unless they brought it there for a fix . They been moving mci's and all these past 2-3 weeks .

 

 

I D K, but yesterday afternoon, it was next to 230 and 9903 being pre-tripped (across from 5772 with drivers clambering over it). And I did a double take when I saw it because I totally forgot it was there.

 

(And I take it back, it was around 3pm, just looked at a photo time stamp of another photo I took around the time I saw it)

Another Fresh Pond bus on the Spring Creek loan list: 6495.

Spotted on deadhead this morning on Glenwood Rd/E.80 (Canarsie).

Exactly. I know the route pretty well, never once seen a Quill bus at that time, so either they picked up some runs (like I said) or the bus is at Mannytown.

 

Ditto, the Quill runs are prominent during the PM rush. However, every once in a blue moon you'll see a Quill run in the AM since Mannyville is more prominent during the AM. I've stumbled upon an AM Quill run at least 2 times.

There was a MCI being towed to QV this morning with a Dispatch SUV following it , this may be a transfer I couldn't see the number I was on another bus

 

When buses get transferred they get driven to their new location, not towed. The SUV u saw following the bus in tow was probably Road Control.

Most of them get driven to their new garages , like if they retire a bus and if its able to drive then they drive it there depending on whats wrong with it . Most of them get towed , like 9416 its not at ulmer park right now and its been about almost 2 weeks .
