MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[BM5 via Woodhaven]

Seems nice. I've never been on the new LFS's, but I doubt that they're that much different on the insides. Maybe when they pop on the Q88, I'll get to ride them.

It's the same as the XD40 interior with those weird vertical grab bars that curve outward into the aisle instead of the traditional straight up and down bars...

5900 Flushing to West Side now to 100th.

 

May be a loan, so we'll see. No other Flushing transfers I've seen.

They actually are....got confirmation from a friend who works at QV.

 

They seem to be their units. Looks like the TA changed their mind on this again.

Any notes on what units are stated to be QV's?

I think its the previous: 8481-8503

[Rob3737]

Only 8485 is at QV, odd because QV isn't supposed to get any LFS. They're supposed to get 35 XD40's.

[T J Trainman]

35 XD40s from where?
