MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[The Real]

838, 871, 892, 896, 909 are now officially dead. 5801 has moved to GH.

Depends on how old the tanks are---801, the first bus, was pulled because its tanks expired. These buses probably only have a year or so left on their tanks. I do hope that one is re-tanked and preserved.

 

Its * Re-Certified & I heard 801 had engine problems so its still sitting in college point this is what i heard .

801 is sitting in College Point, but its on the official DOA list.

To further back up both statements, yes, 801 is still at College Point just sitting there. A bus operator that i know told me that bus has engine problems. He often got to drive 801 when it was still in service and would often check if that bus was available for him to drive.

5090 still at Flatbush, currently lined up for the morning pullouts - first on the line near fuel station #3

[UTC Bus Roster]

I've been wondering this for months now. Where is #9631? According to the rosters here & w/o seeing it around it appears to have gone missing for months. It hasn't been on the QV roster for some time now.

I have 9631 at Nimco

801 might have a chance of getting it's engine fixed and can run in college pt or might get to be preserved.

[mta B43]

Well all the 890's are wiped out! The 810's will soon be wiped out. I really hope the mta does preserve a c40 it doesn't have to be 801 it could be lets say 874, or another one. I think from the Orion v cng's 9932 would have a chance to be preserved as well.

if mta preserves one...it must be 826! has beauty all over

I hear some RTS are heading to LaGuardia. Are there any buses being moved in "exchange"?

[T J Trainman]

Where did you hear that from?

[T J Trainman]

The only ones that I know are coming from ECH.

No Maybe tonight or tomorrow ...... You just saw them sunday night so they got to the lot and they worked on them probably yesterday and today so they will be here between tomorrow - friday morning .

4957 still at Gleason , mechanics were driving it around today could of gotten a picture but it was unexpected , 4950 at Gleason & 9057 or 50 .

[The Real]

433-435 and 437 arrived a JG. 4950 & 9057 are both still assigned to EN, they are at JG for maintenance work.

Since when does ENY (RTS specialists) need to send an RTS out for repair?? And to a CNG depot??? The world must be ending soon LOL

If they preserve one of these buses, it should be 801. It was the first of these buses to be delivered.

There is buses all over the system for repairs especially if a location is overloaded....You got 4505 at EC for repairs, 9308 at CP for repairs. IIRC, some shops specialize in certain maintenance practices and remember too, JG was a RTS depot, hell every depot was a RTS depot at one point so it should not be far fetched to send buses to other depots for work.

And the only 1998 C40LF to run under both NYCT Bus and MTA Bus.

Sorry to say, 801 is not at CP, it was towed out of CP at least 6 weeks ago. I was supposed to drive it up to ECH for scrap, but the engine was so shot it was inoperable. It started and ran like a shake table while pissing oil w/ coolant in the oil,(check eng.& stop eng. telltales on)then stalled not be started again (plenty of cranking).So the CP decided to have it towed. I watched then put it on a hook.
