MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[Grand Concourse]

That my friend is the question where the solution is to wait and see. Right now, with the way things are going, it's hard to tell.

 

When SC starts receiving their 2nd batch of C40LFs, we'll get our answer.

 

No worries, {I'm lazy using the quotes function if responding to the person before me}. It was directed to CP about what would JFK get with his bus moves. Whatever the ex-PBLs get, I don't really mind. But I do hope SC is all CNG, they have just 2 lines, it should've been all CNG sooner imo.

[T J Trainman]

Why would BP send Orion 5s to JFK? There are no more Orion 5s going to JFK.

once Spring Creek knocks their Hybirds out, THEY WILL GO TO JFK, JFK will Bump Most or all of its RTS out, its obvious, the only 2 depots that are likely to get em is LGA and BP, BP is a big question because they are just about ready to get artics so anything is poosible when SC starts to get their next bacth of C40LF's

I was hoping that they would go to BP to make them all Hybrid just like FR and have JFK send over a few hybrids so that BP will have enough buses. And then have LGA and JFK be the focus of all the RTS's . JFK will have about 55-60 RTS's and LGA will have around 100 RTS's when all the Beeline Orion's retire.

[T J Trainman]

Ok, here is the latest news that I have, ---->*ALL* of JFKs RTS are going to the LGA depot to replace ALL of LGAs Bees <----**. LGA will be sending MOST of their Bees to scrap. A FEW more *MIGHT* be going to BP. presumably the remainder of the 130s, (130-133, 135) **<---- subject to change. If anything changes I will let you know.

[mtattrain]

...MOST...

 

Lol, why not all?

I don't think this will happen, no offense. At least not right away. I heard they may get a few C40's (frum another thread)

LGA is NO LONGER CNG.... Wherever you read that from is not giving you the right information..

Also, lets see what the decides to do.

BP will never become 100% hybird, that plan was scrapped years ago, BP will ether get artics or RTS to replace its Orions, but LGA is gonna replace their's first

[NewFlyer 230]

Oh I hope that the RTS come to BP. I can't stand them, they have this super strong vibrations which is annoying when you wear glasses. Everytime I catch a Q112 it's always a Orion V there when you see all those Hybrids on the Q111 and Q113. That's why I either take the Q8 or Q41 now. I noticed that the MTA did something to the Orion V that now the interior sound different than when they first came 2009.

Yes, a speed cap.

I hope 133 doesn't get scrapped. I like the paint scheme on that bus.

That ain't a paint scheme...thats a whole new face on it

[NewFlyer 230]

It was be retired soon anyway so cut back the tears. That face you see on it is from the 1993-94 Orion V's.

[T J Trainman]

actually 133s "new" front end came off of a 1995 O-5 I forgot the #. Also, 9197 is at the JFK depot. I saw it last week on the Q-9.

[MHV9218]

5303 to Quill, on the M14D right now.

[R32 3838]

4707 at Quill on the M14, I JUST grabbed this shot of it, talk about a interesting move:

[Guest MTA Bus]

WOW, MJQ got a 47xx D60HF. Nice catch. I wonder why MJQ got this bus.

[MHV9218]

Been there for a few days, these moves are odd aren't they? Seems to me like the oldest D60s are being traded to Quill for their 2002-2003 D60s, and then these will all be scrapped once the second LFSA order is complete.

[depotofrelax]

Any news 2012 model Nova Bus LFS articulated bus #5817 will it still stay at Gun Hill Depot . #5817 still have West Farms Depot sticker decal or go to Kingsbridge depot. & where is 2000 D60HF new flyer #5268 , #5355 , #5358 . Will #5355 , #5268 , #5358. be retired, or renumber . I will miss 2000 D60HF new flyer #5268 , #5355 , #5358 if it be retired.

[depotofrelax]

Because the 2 option order Nova Bus LFS articulated ( those are former model 2000 D60HF number ) #5253 - #5363 been taken.

[depotofrelax]

The remaining 5 1996 RTS Nova Bus left at 126 street depot , #8989 , #8990 , #9122 , #9216 , #9221. Will those remaining 5 1996 RTS Nova Bus left will they be scrapped or retire. There retirement came.
