MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[Grand Concourse]

Well could've been worse, could've been over the MTA logo I think it was one of the SI depots stuck over the logo a while back.

9338 has a depot sticker on the stripe.....

Here's #4757 on the Bx22. Somebody mentioned that it arrived, but here's the proof!

 

Really didn't need proof.. They put some in service on the BX12 as well.

[S78 via Hylan]

For some reason, 6223 isn't listed at Charleston. I saw it not too long ago on the S74 leaving the Eltingville Transit Center.

5344, 5349 & 5351 at FB.

So has the B44 been completely converted to Articulated or is it still a mixture between 40 fters and 60 fters?

 

Also is FR open again? I ask because the Q35 has hybrids with the FR decals en route along Flatbush Avenue.

It's still a mixture and plus not all of FB's artics have been delivered yet.

FR has been open.. 9124 was on the Q35 today shot a picture of it at the junction. It was run 012, it was swinging around the corner to head back to the rockaways.

are they still throwing command (Spring creek) buses onto green bus routes(FR Or JFK)?

Yes.

 

From yesterday.

Wouldn't it been easier just by saying Spring Creek alone, instead of adding "Command" before it? Same thing with the Green Bus phrase... Smh

[Grand Concourse]

Lol, some folks don't want to forget the past

 

but as for the q35, I think micstromme meant JFK stickers, some of the 3500s still has those. I'm also surprised the RTS was on it. The o5s are the ones I see the most. I haven't seen a c40lf/o5cng on the q35 in a while. After feb, it has happened maybe 1 time and it was a c40lf. jFK lines are the ones borrowing those buses more.

[T J Trainman]

Any further news with any more artics going to the JFK depot?

i mentioned a while back in the random thoughts  im one of those who still informally refer to the bc garages by their old names  i put both incase there are those who say that im wrong in reffering to bc garages by their old private line names

9874 has gotten its farebox removed...

[ciboii22]

Could be exclusively for the shuttle now.

6220 is getting worked on a Jamaica, it'll head to Casey Stengel when done. 

6286  is @ QV but for maintenance reasons. 

They're at jamaica & QV for:

Maintenance so they can go to Stengel who we're helping out because these buses are so beat. We are only inspecting, working on them, cleaning them and pretri ping them

 

They won't hit service @ QV or JAM

 

When they get to Stengel then they will hit service



Just some of the Staten Island quality I've noticed so far

-front left clearance light is out & it's hanging

-broken console missing buttons and strmg wheel stuck 
-tranny issue 
-severe body rust
- holes all over exterior hi
-hi beams don't work
-shot suspension

-No hazard lights

5823, 5829, and 5832 back at Quill. 5606 over at 126th, down to just one D60 at Quill. And just re: the roster, 6622 and 6657 are in service at Mannyville, done being rehabbed.

Brings me memories of that trip in a Yukon Orion V (don't remember number) where I sat on the right side in the middle of the bus and looked up to see the middle roof clearance light dangling in the wind the whole way.
