I just spoke to a contact of mine regarding the ECH O-5s, I hate to say this but you guys will never see an RTS in service in the Bronx ever again and yes that includes ECH. (unless its on a subway shuttle) something about Asthma I forgot the reason but that was mentioned to me. ECHs O-5s IF they all go to JFK will be replaced by........yep you guessed it MORE O-5s probably from GH or from KB. Sorry guys.

I heard the same thing, but i don't understand why, thats why West Farms is a CNG depot, ugh you might start seeing hybirds poping up at ECH, but someone mentioned that the reason why they took the RTS out of ECH was due to politics, I even think thats a lie

4710 is either on its way or currently located at Zerega. A friend of mine saw it on its way there. If anyone is looking for it in service, your search has been delayed.

 

Yeah its at Zerega now as of 1:26pm.

 

So right now JFK has #105, #137, #141 and #144. Man, #141 has gone from LGA to BP to LGA again and now JFK. Some crazy moves.

 

I just heard that 145 is at JFK too.

Will LGA be left without Bees, then, or will it be BP without Bees?

 

I also wonder how they'll fare on the Q60.

Oh, just fine!

 

The real question is how they'll fare out at the Rockaways...

Remember one thing, that was said twice in the past, let's wait and see...

163 also at JFK, saw it on the Q41 it turned into a Q8

 

So its 105, 137, 141, 144-145 & 163. 6011 was at JFK but its on the Q50 now.

#141, #144, #145 and #163 were given to LGA by BP just a few weeks ago:

 

LGA so far lost 8881, 9014, 9073, 9265 and now 9308. However LGA gained 8 100s from BP: 139, 141, 144, 145, 149, 156, 157, and 163. Im wondering if any more RTS/Bees will arrive and leave.

 

 

The TTMG Roster has been updated:

 

http://www.ttmg.org/...ns_Depot_Roster

 

#105, #144, and #157 are confirmed to be at JFK.

 

JFK increased from 199 buses to 207 buses, while LGA went from 260 buses and 72 RTS to 243 buses and 58 RTS.

 

FR now has ##137, #141, #149, and #163, and also has #6027.

 

FR has this notice:

 

NOTE: Due to the damaged caused by Hurricane Sandy, all of Far Rockaway's buses are being housed at JFK Depot until further notice. Some buses may appear with JFK stickers on them, but these buses here are assigned to Far Rockaway.

 

Might explain why I saw an RTS on the Q52 some weeks ago.

 

FB has #5821-#5839 (total of 19), and it (A) Shuttle now has its own section. :)

Just seen the update, a lot of these make sense like SC finally going all CNG, some of the older RTSes getting the axe, the older buses getting pushed out of TU and KB, etc...but a couple others are out of left field...8793 in at 126th? 8989 was a real runner, surprised at that switch. All these 18-1900s back from the dead as well, that one came out of nowhere. Don't understand the math at LGA either, just seems like a lot of buses leaving with nothing coming.

I'm awaiting some finals on LG, so the LG part of the roster is in limbo, but I wasn't going to hold up the rest of the roster waiting for that info from my source. Hopefully I will have LG straightened by tomorrow afternoon.

 

5138 At ENY I rode it twice on the Q24 today. It was still wearing FLA Decals

 

 

That was already changed on the roster
