I agree it just dosent add up FP dosent need more oldgens they are already in the phase of getting new buses which means more old gens would get push out which is good... FP needs something different something new they can test out like a nova bus lfs or something or even a 3rd gen or in that case give them some rtses to hold down until they get there new Equipment...

Brooklyn Division can no longer get nova LFS due to Maintenance. The last set of nova's currently at FB will be moving once they get the XD60 order.

East New York had it last year on a trial run before those buses went to Charleston and Jamaica respectively. So as for Brooklyn seeing a Nova again. Out of the question. The 3rd gems aren't leaving Staten Island anytime soon unless there is a big change indicated by DOB.

Explain to me why does Yukon have 132 buses when it has SM1, 5, 6, 7, 10 and some trips on the 34. I understand Charleston has more routes than Yukon. Then they (Yukon) should give up at least 5 more buses to both Charleston & Meredith, call it even

Although they may have less routes, the frequency of the routes combined require that many buses. The entire lot of buses are gone by 715 in the morning. 

EDIT: Yukon actually needs 135 buses, (peak+spares) so they're actually short by 2. Both Charleston and Meredith have more buses than what they need.

EDIT2: These numbers were pulled from the Summer pick requirements. May or may not be different with the new route changes.

Something seems to be fishy between Fifth Avenue and the Coliseum. Are they trying to go back to the original fleet assignments for those two CNG depots?

Looks like it. Since they have 36 Artics on the B35, and the original Coliseum has 99 C40s so far. shouldn't WF start scrapping the O7CNGs even though they're losing the XN60s to Jg.

They are probably there (1030-8) until the 1100 batch arrives at Jackie Gleason and reactivation of D60HFs. For now, they moved to Gleason b/c West Farms has too many buses at the depot.

thank you for this. just because a depot has alot of lines doesn't mean they need more buses. headway frequencies & the amount of runs on a line determine how many buses a depot needs.
