Hi all, new member here.

 

Thought I'd add to the list of RTSes that are loaners over at MHV.

 

Along with 8891 as mentioned and 5017 (I believe that bus is still there but I haven't seen it in service), MHV just got

 

8896 -- out of QV

4907 -- out of Jamaica (as far as I know that's the first time a 49xx has been at MHV)

 

Just rode 8896 today, and 4907 was operating on the M3 yesterday with 8891 on the M1 and 8896 on the M2.

 

I know this all may sound a bit far-fetched coming from a new member, but the buses just keep getting odder and odder.

 

Wow. If this is true then these moves can keep getting odder & odder. I didn't know or picture a #4900 RTS at MHV Damn! What else is next?

I just can't get over an RTS on the M1!! As KR would say, "Foamalicious!"

I know what I'm doing tomorrow....

 

Oh, 4903 was the first to be at Manhattanville during the 4000-5000 series RTS delivery. It had an alternative fuel in it.

[Calvin]

I wonder why RTS are at Manhattanville?

 

I thought Manhattanville is an all Hybrid Bus Depot;)

First time in 10 years a 49xx is in service outside if Queens or Brooklyn.

8881 came from QV 8891 came from ECH storage. My guess both are at MHV.

Those would definitely be the depots but I personally have never actually seen 8891, whereas I've seen all the other RTSes operating out of MHV at the moment. That said, I can't imagine 8891 would go anywhere else if it left storage -- MHV is the only depot critically short buses, though LGA is probably pretty sparse as well.

 

I seriously HATE to recommend this but why not take out some buses from ECH Storage if LGA if short of buses. Especially on the fact that their giving some of their Hybrids away.

Let's not forget College Point.

If 8891 is at MHV, I wonder where it will go to afterwords?

Very true. I suppose CP will be trying to keep those O5s going for as long as possible, though IIR the feds try to limit the life of a CNG tank to fourteen years or so. I suppose the last step would be to re-tank those C40LFs if anything, and send those over the CP. That's more of a long-term plan though, in the way of short-term I guess Eastchester is all that CP has got!

Yep and those Orions that came from LIB will do just fine with CP.

CP has about 300 buses , they dont need any .

Ok, I know I have basicly taken a break from all things buses this week, but I know I'm not that far out of the loop. Orions as CP from LIB??? I beg to differ!

They lost half the people that could to other MTA garages u got an overflow of OOS cause they don't have enuff people to fix them.

Yeah, those PBL Orion V CNGs have really took a beating before the takeover, everyday they are getting closer to death at ECH.

I heard an Orion V pass by my window on the Q1. Im not positive about it but QV might have one.. but to be sure ill look out to see if it passes by later.
