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

 

ENY doesn't have alot of maint. bays, contrary to how big the facility is. JG may have little work to do w/ the infux of new buses so they do work thats farmed out. Same thing is happening at CP. CP maint. is a ghost town, so they are willing to A/C work for LGA.

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 .

 

If these were being deliverd from the factory they have to go to NorthEast Bus for acceptance. They get inspected by MTA & NF personnel (about 12 items)and then get their acceptance package which incudes plates and reg. card copies and then picked up by the depot they are assigned(usually upto 2 weeks). There are about 10 C40's at NEBus today w/o plates and plastic wrap on the front still.

What about the MCIs @ CP, those buses aren't keeping the CP Mechanics busy?

Nope, thay have worked 2 of LGA's MCI's in the last couple of weeks. Keep in mind probs. w/ the C40's are under usually warranty, so they go to NEBus or Cummins (I've brought a few of them there in the past couple of months).

Some 6000s are being moved to Eastchester...13 are already there, primarily in the low 6000s.

 

Yes, however they have problems. I saw at least two CS Orion V's with their transmissions dropped out of them & 1 with elec. issues last week alone. LGA gets RTS's when ECH can spare them if they are not scrap. I picked up 8913 from Zerega from the "program" & 8945 from ECH after it finished service for the day last Tuesday.

However, RUMOR has it that the Bees (BP and LGA) will be replaced by RTSs ----> I STRESS the word RUMOR. IF I get any more info on the Bees, I will be sure to post it.

 

 

 

at BP, I saw the workers pull Out Old RTS Parts from the Stock Room, They are making sure they are ready
