[Metro CSW]

Which are no longer there.

CP with Bee-Line O5's? How very odd

Either a shortage or for work. It's happened before.

[ciboii22]

I heard 145 is at CP also...

[GojiMet86]

I might be off by a number but I believe I saw #5671 with a Tuskegee sticker.

I asked the question a few days ago:

 

 

That's interesting. Why not other C40LFs, or some other CNG?

 

 

Because its temporarily until the C40LF deliveries resume, there is some kind of pause right now in the C40LF acceptance. And with the new pick, some runs have been added, so they needed the extra buses!

is there any reason why JFK is using CNG buses

Those buses are assigned to Spring Creek. They are just helping out with routes such as the Q10 and Q60.

[SevenEleven]

For extra service on the Q52. Operators can however, pull them out on any route if they are trained.

[petabread]

Ok so I saw 2 Spring Creek CNGs today on the Q6 and Q8, and both bus operators were JFK operators. So, are JFK operators allowed to switch to Spring Creek? They were JFK operators last week.

No, any of SC buses are operated by trained JFK ops.

6550 is actually paint.

491 is still under warranty, more than likely since Mike's came and got it, it went straight to NESF (Service Center).

6550 looks dam good. Just which the New York City Bus logo was in the black area like the NG's

9007 at ECH storage has been stripped. It will be going to scrap. There are 4 other RTSs at ECH storage currently being stripped for scrap, Once I get the #s I will post them.

They are all paint except for those first few testers, and the newer buses

8948 at CP.

[Guest MTA Bus]

I waiting to see if these new additions to CP are going to hit service.

[jgood6195]

8948 at CP.

Now an RTS?

[4P3607]

6502 got re-decaled, of course with the tacky Arial numbering. Is the MTA really too cheap to use its own font?

 

Now an RTS?

WTF?! If I see 8948 on the Q66 I will foam... and wasn't that an ECH bus?

[Cait Sith]

3574 & 4021 back at LG. 162 still at CP
