This TOPIC is strictly for bus deliveries, moves & transfers.

Any discussion related to these moves should be done in the MTA Bus Operations: Fleets and Depots and Bus - Random Thoughts threads.

Just as a LFS options review, MQ now has  5569-5574, 5576, 5578, 5579, 5581, 5589

GH complete with 5531-5566

Excuse me if this was already answered but will SI get any of the “Cuomo” buses?

I will let this slide because you are a new member and may not know, but these types of discussions normally belong in the Fleet & Depots thread. 

Planning calls for Yukon to receive 2018-2019 Nova LFS’. 34 for the S79+, and 33 for local/limited lines. The next Express buses will also be in Cuomo wrap as you all call it. Some of those are planned for SI as well.

We will also have a future pending temporary assignment for the XE60 to do a “Dual Evaluation Test” where MTA will test out electric operations as well as articulated operations at the same time on the island.

Well the title of this thread is “Deliveres, Moves and Transfers. My question was about deliveries. 

Correct, and that is a great point, however this thread is only for reporting of deliveries, transfers, and such. Questions and comments, and detailed discussions about the fleet in reference to deliveries or anything else belong in the referenced thread. 

You can also check the first page of said thread as all new fleet information is updated there regularly. This includes assignments which is what you asked about.

Why hasn't XN60 Xcelsior CNG Articulated Low Floor 1031 been transferred to WF and 1072 to Gleason. That lone bus should be with the rest of the bunch

What the concern? Honestly and truthfully West Farms has bigger fish to fry on than to deal with a transfer to Gleason. Said bus will get transferred in due time. The order is nearly complete.

0016 on M42 

It never hit service on the M42. From the looks of where it was driven this morning from end to end(between 34th & 42nd Street), it looks like they were testing or training with it. It's currently en route back to Grand Avenue.

0018 is officially assigned and registered as a MJQ bus.

They decided that they want to increase the the SBS fleet on the Bx6 by 1 bus. In the process, they articulated the local, and for some reason have never made the switch. I guess they don’t want to wrap 1072 in local and unwrap 1031. 🤷‍♂️ At this point I can understand why. In the future all of Gleason buses will be unwrapped when the 35 goes SBS.

The order is complete, it’s not on a transfer list. A transfer is the easiest thing that would be on WF’s plate right now having the largest requirements in the city. It’s just not a priority. 

As a fleet reference, WF still has 4100, 8356, 8357, 8360, and 8363. XD40 Fleet has increased by 6 buses beyond what was supposed to be assigned as well and now have 7544-7551, 7568-7571, 7685, 7692, 7694-7698, 7700, 7731-7737
