Reading now that all of WF's O5 CNGs have been taken out of service, not sure if they've been shipped off to Eastchester or if they're in the storage lot, maybe somebody can check on this. They're not operating in any case.

 

Walked around Tuskegee today, unfortunately the XD60 is long gone from there, but my real observation was that that's a depot that looks short. No buses were available to be taken out (only three-four were in the depot, all being worked on) and a couple ops were waiting for buses.

 

7626-7628 appear to have also made the journey to the Farms.

 

KB is bleeding a few D60s: 5263, 5276, 5286, 5289, 5294, 5297, 5299 and 5307 all listed as OOS.

 

8764, 8806, 8860, 8862, 8864 all listed as LGA buses (I know some of those have been reported, just thought I'd put it all together). 8933 is gone.

 

Weirdest of all which I'm going to try to personally got out and check, hearing that 8796 is an ENY bus. Another stumper: 9112 is enabled for BusTime.

 

8764,8806, 8862 & 8933 are at Zerega in the overhaul program. I delivered 8933 to Zerega for overhaul Tuesday afternoon.

yeahh i heard about WFs CNGs didnt know if it was true... as for the XD60 its at zerega...tuskeger is badly short! thats why i feel it will get some more LFSA or XD60s....they need about 25more... 7528 was just on the B70 mon...really fast move...

 

*7628 , & that bus went to west farms last month then back to gleason a few weeks ago and now its back up there again .

 

8764,8806, 8862 & 8933 are at Zerega in the overhaul program. I delivered 8933 to Zerega for overhaul Tuesday afternoon.

 

They stopped over hauling some rtsS at ulmer park they havent been doing any , they sent 7576 back out to be repainted again . It had the white paint on the sides when it first came back & now it has black paint on the sides .

Overhauls? That's a surprise, 8764 is getting on for 17 years old and the others aren't far off. I thought overhauls stopped after 12-13 years...I guess they're registered to LGA since they're slotted to be there for return.

428 at Gleason now , just pulled in off the 16 .

 

 

All of the 400s through 429 are registered at Gleason.

 

--

 

I'm seeing that the RTSes left at ECH are 8934, 8938, 8941-8944, 8948, 8964, 8967, 8991, 9034, 9126, and 9248. The remainder have been sent to LGA while 8750 and 8963 are OOS.

 

ECH's O5s are as follows: 6005, 6008, 6010, 6012-6014, 6017, 6019-6020, 6023, 6027-6028 from what I'm seeing. Contrary to what I've seen here, 6029-6038 are registered at KB but that may be changing soon / now.

 

Speaking of O5s, the six 1996s at CS are 639-640, 644, 647, 655, and 662.

There'll be a whole new batch of 400s coming in soon too...

 

Man does LGA have a ton of 1996s registered to the depot: 8756, 8764, 8768, 8798, 8803, 8806, 8810, 8838, 8844, 8849, 8852, 8855, 8860, 8862, 8864, 8867, 8872, 8881, 8885, 8889, 8907, 8913, 8920-8921, 8928, 8932, 8936, 8939, 8945, 8955-8956, 8966, 8987, 9002, 9005, 9009, 9014, 9019, 9022, 9027, 9079, 9085, 9094, 9098, 9107, 9132, 9139, 9167, 9174, 9188, 9191-9192, 9212, 9215, 9259, 9265, 9291, 9302, 9307-9308, 9310, 9317, 9321, 9333, 9338, 9340, 9348-9349

 

That's 68 buses! Granted about 8 of them are in the shops / at Zerega, but that's a good chunk of RTSes.

 

7266, 9859, and 9884 oos.

 

?? 9575 assigned to FB?

Ah, I figured it'd been scrapped but I couldn't confirm and it was only listed as OOS. Shame that that bus is officially gone, that's basically the last TMC in the fleet.

The plan is to overhaul 190 '96 Nova RTS to keep them going for another 2 years. These buses are getting an overhaul from, floor sections to replacement of radiators, Wheelchair lift towers to full supension replacement, depending on condition of the componets. The template for the scope of the program is similar to a 12 year overhaul, but not including paint, body work and A/C.

Huh, that's interesting and it sounds like a genuinely good idea from the MTA for once, those RTSes taken care of could last close to two decades. 190, sounds like most of the 1996s still on the streets will be getting that overhaul then. Good news as I see it.

As long as the quality of the work is good and stays that way yes they can last. Not all buses are in the program. I don't know what determines which buses are in the program. It maybe MDBF or a number of items?

Damn, I recently rode 837 and 885 on the B68, 4957 to Gleason????

yeah I was on 837 on Wednesday all day it's a pos ! 885 is alright too .

 

 

 

Dammm those buses are coming in sooo fast!!! up to 430s....are u sure its 435....and not 434 cause u put 35, 36-38 instead of 35-38.... and wow a RTS at gleason....thats not going into service....

yes it's 435 because I was downstairs staring at them & I meant to put 435-38 but it doesn't matter .... And 4957 might go into service , they're short as of now so they might use it you never know what's gonna happen & when it's gonna happen .

4957 at JG? Its probably there for maint work.

probably but don't sleep on it , when 9397 went there everyone thought it was there for work , it went into passenger service but east new York has been sending there buses to Jg . 6615 is in the back now they're working on that .
