MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[Rick44]

9568 ran out of FP yesterday. 9569, 9571, and 9604 have been at the depot since pulling in at 11:32, 8:55, and 11:32 AM respectively on Saturday. 9572 pulled into GA at 9:20 AM on Saturday, 9587 at 8:42. If they go back, they go back, but I just report 'em like they happened. 

Ok, I'll wait another day to see if they stay or were part of the snow/cold loans.

9594 is not a P.OS. Hybrids are P.O.S. Period!!

[mta B43]

Yea I know but I thought they were just for training, I guess the Orion Vs are gonna be out by next week I hope the RTS's don't retire yet though

[tvega961]

Couple weeks ago...

How can the RTS possibly retire from Grand so soon since they have over 100 of them?

From my experience it is, overheated and broke down when I rode it twice, that and 9409 run like that, I love RTS's don't get me wrong but those leave some to be desired

[T J Trainman]

Lol I hear ya.

[Bill from Maspeth]

9401 broke down the other night at the L station.  Driver had to deal with it in the freezing cold for at least 4 hours according to a fb post by the driver himself.

 

The hybrids might be POS according to some, but the RTS has seen their better days.  They just gotta go.

Not all of them are retiring. My guess is that when Grand Avenue gets all their XD40's (76 of them) they'll still be about 50-60 RTS's left over with the Next Gen Hybrids.

6772 on the M42

Yea but what I don't get is that the XD40s are coming into GA, and meanwhile more and more RTSs are coming into GA Edited February 18, 2015 by mta B43
