Looks like it's going back to the original scheme before the split down the middle for JG.

This here makes sense.

1000-1072 to WF

1073-1109 to JG.

Jesus Christ, they seriously don't even know what in the f*ck they want to do with buses anymore...

Yep. 1086 WF to JG

Quill's XD60 fleet continues to go SBS. 6099, 6115, and 6119 are now SBS buses.

6101, 6105, and 6121 work local routes.

[Novabus 5000]

1076, 1083, 1085 and 1090 to JG

Wouldn't be surprised if Quill trades those XD60s for the few oddball 5800's still in service on the M60.

That is if odd units from 6083 to 6097 are sent back to Quill from the summer pick.

More like 57 C40s, remember that the ratio is 3 standards for 2 artics.

Actually this is assuming that the ones sent to SBS now displace a few buses to local service and the remaining ones go to SBS to get rid of the remaining ones. Then again XD60s seem to rotate with Grand Av a lot for some reason so let's see.

Gleason XN60 fleet review: 1073-1086, 1090, 1091

Slightly off topic, but I can see MTA leaving some B35 Limited runs interlined with the local when full service begins in the winter. I could also see them making a move to rush hour and increased artic service in the future like the Bx6. 

 I got some shots of 1074 testing on the hawk (Local) all night. She's going to pull in about 10 minutes from now, then go back out later this afternoon.
