MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[The TransitMan]

#8348 is now at Gun Hill.

[Gotham Bus Co.]

ENY said any bus delivered since 2011 will get the new scheme.

 

The 2011 and later buses have already been delivered, so they can't be delivered with the wraps.

I already know that, but they will be taken out of service in order to have the wrap applied.

Ok folks. It's official!!!!! 9384 is a LGA bus. It has LGA stickers and is going in service.

Any more coming?

[T J Trainman]

Yes from what I have understood LGA is getting 10 of them. Stay tuned.

I would love if Ulmer could pass some along...Less RTS's for me. Woot!

Fresh Pond possibly sending some RTS to ENY.

The shifting of the guards is beginning. At a slow pace tho.

WABC-7 just reported that CP MCI #3158 on the QM-11 just smashed into a bridge abutment in Manhattan. 9 hurt.

Nothing is replacing the RTS' leaving QV. More RTS' have been scrapped than new buses coming in...

That shakeup I have been talking about has begun. 5364 should pop back up any day now in the new wrap, and all buses 2011 and newer will get some type of update with the new colors. A few of the buses scheduled for immediate repaint are still getting the standard scheme. A few TA buses have been emerging from the paint booths in MTA Bus titles. Lots of internal confusion right now as all the buses will just be as everything continues to merge.

 

LGA making history today with a few more to come. TA still has to figure out what to do with the Eastchester and what they will have moving forward. They want to keep the XD's at LGA, and I am being told MTA actually wants LG and EC to be all diesel. It will be quite a while before this happens at LGA though because those hybrids aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

Send those hybrids to Ulmer! We'll give you the 1999s!LOL   (Now I've got that off my chest)

 

re the pant scheme: Nice! Will 5364 have the AAV and tech updates too?

Why bother repainting the C40LF's and Xcelsiors if they're getting this new wrap?

[MysteriousBtrain]

What ever happened to the diesel project that was set to happen with the OGs?

It was dropped. Would've cost a lot to go with it. Replacing the batteries would've been cheaper.

 

EDIT: 2752 at Meredith. Just seen it on the X12 with decals on Richmond Avenue.
