MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[-CT1660-]

Yes CP will give the Q-64 to LGA however it's a R-U-M-O-R for now I love how stuff is supposed to be CONFIDENTIAL!!! Smh

The contradiction is strong with this one...

2185 has returned to U.P. as said "It was retired" it was returned from Zerega this morning.

You know, I haven't seen a 5000 since I saw them for the first time. Oh, and if this swap goes through as planned, prepare for the return of the RTS on the Q64!

I remember back in 2011 BP ran rush hour only trips on the Q64 but I think it was only one or two buses.

[mta B43]

Idk if LGA would get the Q64 cuz they will send Q29 and Q72 to CP due to major shortage and renovations at the depot, so that would save 16 buses and so I was thinking why would they get the Q64 if the reason that they sent the 2 routes was because of shortages, also the union was close to disagree with these route moves and the Q29 and Q72 might go back to LGA in about 6-8 months

[NewFlyer 230]

See that's the problem they might but that is not for sure it could be permanent just like the Q19 and Q38 swap. At one point it was suggested that the Q66, Q19 and Q38 all go to LGA and if they are having shortage issues it will only make it worst. That is probably why LGA's buses are not in the best shape because they are constantly in and out on routes and have little time for maintance.

Getting back on topic.....

3962 at Yukon, operating on the S74.

[S78 via Hylan]

I don't think that's a permanent move because there were several Charleston NGs on the Yukon local routes last weekend and then they returned to the garage before opening for the week. But I could be wrong.

Well, it's assigned to Yukon on the Yukon roster as well.

Oh, well I guess it really is a move.

[Bounad Hanhic]

MTA Bus is not going move anything in the middle of a pick, that cannot happen. But maybe next pick

6171 at KB from Castleton.

[T J Trainman]

6096 and 6172 are now at the ECH depot for service. 6906 was on the Bx-23 and 6172 was on the Q-50.

[S78 via Hylan]

I think 6096 was reported to be at ECH a while back.

8872 at Quill. Where's that one from, LGA?

[Cait Sith]

8872 at Quill. Where's that one from, LGA?

 

Yup. Its funny, it left Quill in good shape and returns in the worst shape of its life.

[T J Trainman]

Guys if any of LGAs RTSs show up at any "TA" depots they are there for maint.

I still smh that nyct let lga take some of those 5000s. I can only hope those survive by the end of the summer.

Yeah? Maybe they're not in any hurry, cause that bus wasn't in the shops but instead laid up on the roof.

 

 

[T J Trainman]

6 JUNKERS from JFK to LGA 3564, 3566, 3567, 3568, 3569 and 3570. Now at LGA. Ugh!!!!

Ugh!!! why couldn't they just send us their RTS's!!!

[Daniel The Cool]

And you know because? Anything can happen you know

[T J Trainman]

Lets just say I know these things. LGA is tight on maint space.

I'm wondering the same thing probably mileage related

Soon enough you will get another refute... people are saying stuff on chat bout you lol, though I'm just remaining neutral about the whole thing....

 

 

 

 

 

AAANYWAY, how are the Orion 5 CNGs and ex-Bee Line Orion 5s holding up? Any recent retirements as of late?

Edited July 22, 2013 by mtattrain

[mta B43]

All Orion V CNGs are safe at home at CP with fare boxes in them and nothing written on the windows, although 9889 is parked awfully close to a tow truck, but I think that's just a coincidence, also a CP driver said 9874 has a big chance in becoming a museum bus along with 824. As for the Bees, 101 is the only goner but the rest are running
