MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[R32 3838]

Just to be fair here, my info was given to me by an mta source who gets their info from up top, and BP is loosing the Q64 in January, 47 artics is a bit too much for both the 113/114, the Q53 part is just a rumor, I was replying to what ENY said, if BP don't get the 53 then it's no big deal and it's not the whole Q53, only half, and the artics are not only for the 113/114, they'll also be some on the Q111, the Q111 carries just as much as the Q113/114, plus it's gotten much more ridership since the Q114 has come into play

But anyways back on to the topic

[MysteriousBtrain]

The Q53 is planned to go back to LGA in January according to numerous sources out of College Point...the Q53 SBS is on HOLD right now...I believe they are more focused on the Q44 SBS and B46 SBS at the moment before they jump to the Q52/53 stage.

 

The artics at BP are for the Q113/Q114...

 

The artics at JFK are for the Q10/Q52...or whatever route JFK wants them on.

 

And artics to LGA is not out of the question yet...

 

 

 

And can we please keep this Q53 SBS nonsense out of this thread and keep that somewhere else but here...

 

 

Thank you...I was just about to comment on that.

 

Stop with the gotdamned speculations or folks will be removed from this thread. I've said this enough. Filling this thread with pointless nonsense. This is about moves, not foamer's wetdreams. The Q53 SBS is not for another couple of years, so relax with the damn speculation.

Last I checked ENY is a pretty reliable source for the most part. But enough about the Q53 for now. Let's just focus on what is being delivered and moved around.

Yes I know, but at the same time, the Q52/Q53 SBS is still in its infancy. Things can change, hence why I'm not a fan of all of this speculation.

Now, back to the moves. 8956 and 8804 at JFK from LGA. Xcelsiors are booting out some of the RTSs to JFK.

4542-4543 GA to GH.

 

8804, 8956, 8971 LGA to JFK.

 

9389, 9396, 9442, 9574 MQ to MV.

[This is news that makes me very happy, but they could be loans, so we'll see. They all ran in service on MV routes like the 10, 96, and 98 on Thursday, if anybody was paying attention.]

I apologize if this is off topic but how many Next Gens does Gun Hill even need? since most of Grand Av's next gens are decreasing

This isn't a bus move as that bus was in service at Flatbush for a few weeks now. Its probably at Zerega for repairs.

The Bx12 to Orchard Beach has trippers from Kingsbridge Depot (info added for roster)

It always did

[MysteriousBtrain]

There are pictures of 7448 on the Q47 so it looks like the MTA bus XD40s are starting service.

[T J Trainman]

Where are the pictures?

BM5 posted some if you look at his profile.

Confirmed. 9389 on the M10. Repeat. M10 has 9389.

The other ones are also in service now, with 9396 and 9442 on the M96, and 9442 on the M4.

[T J Trainman]

For those interested 7444 and 7448 are on the Q-49.

[SubBus]

Saw 5364 testing on Guy Brewer and Farmers Blvd this afternoon around 4:30pm........

[NewFlyer 230]

I believe if I'm not mistaken I saw 7444 on the Q67 or Q69.

[GojiMet86]

7444 should be on the Q49 until midnight, unless it was on the 67/69 in the morning.

It was one of those lines in the morning.

[MysteriousBtrain]

No XDs have bus time at the moment so it may be a while before they can ve trackable.
