9221 running out of MHV for the day, I see the loaners have started up again. Love seeing that bus back, I remember riding it on the M5 back in 2010, great ride.

QV has a good number Of RTSs oos due to AC and mechanical problems

 

 

 

 

 

Jamaica sent over 5 buses on loan

 

 

 

 

 

All 5 of those buses don't have working AC and are beat to hell. Now QV has to bring them into the shop tomorrow and fix all of them

 

 

 

 

 

9010, 9272 & 9279 are three of those five.

4961 at Grand Avenue (NOT SEEN by me, but there are sightings of the bus being in Downtown Brooklyn)

[MHV9218]

^ And running on the 57/62, not the 25/45/65? Odd, have to catch one of these 1998s at GA.

Yeah, I saw it laying up on Nostrand Avenue.

Whoever has it is doing the shuttle run between Nostrand & Kings Highway

@gtnovabusRTS9369, 15 out of the 21 RTSs from ECH are going to LGA. The others are for scrap. Once I get all the #s I will post them.

You ain't seeing 8751 ever anymore lol.

When did it get scrapped?

 

Well you can't say we ain't seeing 8751 no more because there can be a new bus in the fleet that's can take that number.

[T J Trainman]

8751 has been gone a long time now 1 QV loaner update 9295 was seen(not by me) on the Q-88 yesterday.

[gtNovaBusRTS9369]

QV has another loaner recently turned from their own bus to JA's...twice already. It was #9205. Fooled me as it had it's JA logo's but was on the Q83 LTD...smh.

^ Could have to do with the 1997s being overhauled, I know overhauls are why MHV keeps getting all these loaner buses.

Its just temporary & ulmer park is short on 3 rts's , 5121 is still out due to that fire , a wire & some other stuff got burnt up so they have to get parts it should be running by september . 9418 is out due to some problems & 9416 too so they have 5039 & 40 & 5007 . Plus they need to test the partitions on different lines because they are going to put parititons on the rts @ ulmer park .

[T J Trainman]

6030 and 6036 are now at the ECH depot with ECH stickers on them. (I know I said that ECHs O-5s would end at 6028. But as you know with the MTA, things change........)
