MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[aemoreira81]

Why does SC have CP's 600-605

 

 

When 15 buses got added to the MTA Bus batch, there was a 7/8 split (I forgot which way it was supposed to go). Instead of splitting the order 30/44/8/7, it's better to split it 37/50 or 38/49.

Finally, some videos!

Just in case you thought I was bluffing lol

[T J Trainman]

As it turns out I just saw 145 on the Q-72 in service 1 hour ago.

[GojiMet86]

So #145 has been at BP, then LGA, then apparently JFK, and now back to LGA. And interestingly enough, #145 doesn't appear right now on any depot roster.

 

So much moving...

145 Never left to go to JFK...

Oh, okay. That seemed too much movement.

Nitpick*, there's a 2 bus error there.

 

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

 

Well, I guess it was bound to happen. I guess that's what ENY will be taking to replace their older RTSs? Edited December 4, 2012 by Grand Concourse

Just a slight correction, 6027 and 163 are at JFK but assigned to Far Rockaway.

163 was on the Q41 and Q8 yesterday, they aren't assigned to Far Rockaway since its closed, they use anything thats at JFK including the storage lot across from the depot, hence why JFK's hybirds and RTS were on the Q22 as well

[Grand Concourse]

Not sure if it was borrowed or SC is loaning FR a bus, but rode 604 on the Q35 this morning.

Far Rock is temporarily closed as a physical depot, but it is not closed in the system and buses are assigned to that depot even though they are TEMPORARILY parking them at JFK.

Spring Creek is also doing at least one run on the Q35...yesterday, a 9800 and a 700/7200 were on the line and today, 604 was on the Q35.

[GojiMet86]

Wow, so the Q35 has then seen the Orion V, the Bee Orion V CNG, C40LF and Gen-II in service.

[ciboii22]

So 604 on the Q35, 7216 was on the Q22 WTF?

[Calvin]

so LGA RTS is before 72 now 58? they lost alot of buses are they tho?

[R32 3838]

601,604 9846 and 66 is on the Q22, I rode 9846 on the Q22

[T J Trainman]

Actually no, LGA has 66 RTSs, They had as many as 77 RTSs

According to the information I have, it's assigned as a Far Rockaway bus, I never said it was there.

[ciboii22]

4708 going to Scrap now from Gun Hill.

[Q43LTD]

The foamer in me wishes NYCT depots helped Far Rockaway.

[Orion VII 4 Life]

The foamer in me wishes NYCT depots helped Far Rockaway.

 

Someone reported the other day I think that a NYCT Orion 7 was on the Q22, that was probably a loaner to BC though since I don't think NYCT employees are allowed to operate BC routes (or vice-versa) no matter the situation.
