Which route?

 

 

PMed you, on the M1.

 

Gotta say, 9641 was a beast. Transmission slip on that thing was ridiculous and my man at MHV was loving it, he was just flooring that thing on takeoff and letting it rev while waiting for the clutch to disengage -- good stuff. Not to mention, that bus confirmed my thinking the ride on an RTS is a thousand times better than on an OG (or moreso an NG): hit the usual bump by 14th St. and whereas I've had OGs that have bounced and skidded and NG where passengers screaming at the bang, the RTS just floated over. I miss those buses.

 

Edit: 9638 is also at Mannyville for the M1.

I noticed that 749 is at CP and its been there since February but its not on the ttmg roster. Was it suppose to be scrapped?

 

 

Usually when a bus is not listed on the roster, it's deemed as retired. However, there has been cases where a bus will be out of the database but still in service at the depot. In the past, it was the same for 1887 and 1888.

I can co-sign with this, I was also told that 9239 is still at ENY. A good number of those buses dont sound right.

I forgot that one was there , I know 9309 , 9301 , 9235 , 9238 , 9203 went there , 9240 is there also . East New York Just Got 9414 the other day it has ulmer park stickers on it , my friend called me on friday and told me it was infront of him on the B65 along atlantic & then i saw it that night .

 

Those were the #s that were given to me. I am not sure when they arrived. You should have seen my reaction.

 

Ill Go To East Chester When I Have Time To Drive There & See What's There , I Have Good Eyes So I'll Look @ The #'s . Edited by ciboii22

Add 5875 to Tuskegee. And this bus already has a rear ad. (Some of the 5800s now have side ads.)

 

Spotted a handful of 5800's from MJQ on 23rd Street this AM with those

bright YELLOW and RED sleepy ads. I don't know the exact time for a new bus to enter into service to get slapped with ads, but as of recently I've spotted some UP 80xx buses getting slapped with side ads.

 

Rear Wraps on RTS and Express buses: Hope they do make a comeback, would like to see one on an express bus, and FB is currently taking off the rear wraps on their 42xx, 45xx and 46xx buses.

^ The Quill buses are covered in ads on the sides and the backs, shame they hit them so fast.

 

Speaking of rear wraps, 8990 is today's Manhattanville loaner of the day.

 

Same for 100th Street. Some of those buses are getting hit already with ads. UP & QV did at least 60 days before they slapped the ads on their buses.

Spotted 8990 in question yesterday on Mad & 34th with a partical rear wrap. Looks like 126th is getting rid of it.

Nah, 126th probably just sent it out for a day, should be back by now. Most of the ops I've spoken to on loaner buses have driven them right back to 126th after one run.

 

For instance, today's loaner is 9639, running on the M3 for a change. Should make a run down and up and be back at 126th soon.
