Snow loans are not really transfers in this part of the thread (best bet is the fleet discussion). They are on stay for days for incoming snowstorms and depot stickers don't change (unless it's moved for a reason). 

My only point was that they are discussed in this thread. I will avree they arent long term transfers.

I love how you think you can troll me off this site. I got news for you and any other trolls out there. I am not going anywhere and there isnt a damn thing you can do about it.

You, uh, do realize that mods exist for a reason, right?

5424 is at CP. Maybe just parked overnight.

Could we PLEASE move ALL of these conversations to RANDOM THOUGHTS thread. It's really getting annoying having to sort through all of this nonsensical drivel to find the actual bus moves & transfers!  This thread is ONLY for BUS MOVES, DELIVERIES & TRANSFERS!

Anyways if anyone is interested in other news, 9622 hit service a couple days ago.

Wasn't the number of that bus 22? When did it change?

9622 is a different bus, 22 was the demo/testing unit

It’s prob a crew bus. I think they park them in certain depots to give operators more spaces to take their breaks.

I had heard that 0022 became 9620. Can someone confirm that?

There's a 9700 tracking on the M86-SBS. Is this a glitch or one of the new Novabus Hybrids?

It’s a glitch. Happens with a lot of buses in Manhattan.

For future reference and to reduce the clutter in this thread, post any loans in the Bus-Random Thoughts thread.

1308, 1309 and 1310 are at CP.

1312, at CP as well.

1311 is still in New Jersey.

Not confirmed as of yet. It went back to Nova.

4431 (FP) is running on the B41. Does Fresh Pond help with this route during late nights?

Update: 4046, 4067, 4102, 4431, 4527 are all running on Flatbush routes (B41/44/46). Does this happen on a regular basis or are these transfers/loans from Fresh Pond?

This could be either an potential move, regular loan or snow loan... Stay tuned....

As for your 2nd question. FP does not help FB on any of it's overnight lines including the B41 and B99.

I think these are snow loans...  Doubt they are transfers unless a moderator can confirm.

Please note what Cait Sith requested.

3607 must be at BP as it's tracking on the Q111 right now. 

That thing (including most of 3600-3609) has been LGA for almost it's entire life.

Excuse me, but how was I supposed to know if these were loans or transfers at the time. Chill out, Bill.

Yeah they got a few loaners from LGA, which pushed a few artics to Far Rockaway for temporary storage so they can have space for the hybrids.

3860 is also at BP, currently not in service though.

[lornaevo]

How many spares does LGA have? It seems everyone is borrowing from LGA.

1311 is now at CP.

Come on fella, let's not be so sensitive.

It was snowing on Thursday where the artics were out of service..  So shifts of 40'ers were necessary to depots which have large numbers of artics assigned.

It will vary from day to day in accordance to the number of buses needing unscheduled maintenance.

I see what you are saying, but at the time I had no idea if these were transfers or not.
1) Flatbush hadn't received snow loans at all this year before this week. 

2) Fresh Pond recently received buses to retire the remaining 2007 Hybrids in the depot, which were only used as SPARE buses.

Again, I acknowledged the request for loans to be mentioned in the Random Thoughts Thread, however, it might not always be too clear at the time on whether buses are loaned or transferred to other depots (especially in Brooklyn).

Flatbush did receive a small loan from East New York during the December snow storm so that statement is kinda off. However, the earlier snow storm this past month they didn’t receive any loans until Thursday.
