S5991 was actually on the list to go back to CS, however they still need buses and LG, JK, and FR are now short for SBS. It’s still at LG for the time being. Cait Sith was actually right when he poste, however plans were changed at the last minute and the bus is still at LG as of right now. 

7503 NFI to JA (but the bus is actually at ZA as I type.)

Isn't it just JFK? FR houses the MCIs and pooled VII Hybrids.

FR houses artics as well sometimes during the overnight hours. As of right now they don't have any. I haven't seen in in since fall pick. I saw them many times this summer however.

I also think it's interesting that they have majority of the 6500's now. 6501, 6534, 6537, 6539-6545

With 5987 - 5994 going back to CS. 

will CS keep the 6080s and 6090s buses they got in the beginning of the summer they should go to LG 

do CS really need 50 buses 

44-46 is usually what's the amount used for the Q44-SBS. They'll probably be out.

The 6080s and 6090s at CS came from Quill, where they are temporarily assigned until permanent assignments for them are found. And as mentioned before, they should be moving out soon.

Does it have Ulmer Park decals or Flatbush?

Either Flatbush has full length trippers on the B1 now or 4581 is at Ulmer Park, cause its on the B1 to 4th Avenue right now...

Most likely a loaner UP does not have a recharge station.

This bus 4581 does not need to be recharged like a full electric bus like the XE40/BE40, so that bus could be transferred to or used by any depot.. Its a hybrid bus that generates its own power via a generator attached to the engine which charges the batteries on the roof that powers the electric drive unit that moves the bus..

At some point you have to recharge the battery which can not be maintained by UP. So being housed at UP is not happen with out that station, DH to FB to recharge probably won’t be happening. Thanks for the lesson of the Brake system and power system.

Battery-Electric bus. Hybrid-Electric Bus. Two very different things. And one of them do not need to be charged at all. So all you need is training on maintenance and driving the model and you can operate an Orion VII Hybrid.
