MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[The TransitMan]

8219 is at Flatbush, if it's not known already. Saw it on the B41. Has an MTA Bus logo on the back.

 

I hope you meant 8912 because 8219 was scrapped a few years ago.

Yeah, that's what I meant, mistake by me.

A friend of mine said he saw 8750 on the Q67, which means its at LGA...wasn't that bus retired?

3966,3970,3971,3981 Cast to Fresh Pond Saturday 4/2

[Grand Concourse]

Shouldn't have any problems? These 9600s are 13 years old, I wouldn't be surprised if 9666 was @ ECH.

 

Well I guess maybe it's FB, but the 9600s here are fairly reliable [aside from the chair lifts]. Dunno what it's like for other depots and their 9600s. 8400s also ran fairly well till they were all removed from FB due to the delivieries of the #3900 [or was it 4200?, I don't remember anymore] series NGs.

I seen 3966 parked in front of Fresh Pond about a hour ago, weird seeing a CAS bus in that area (It still has CAS stickers on it) I told myself I wasn't gonna foam about this but when I first saw it, I did.

 

Gonna miss those 1996 RTSs, that's one thing I liked about FP, lots and lots of RTSs with a OG here and there to keep it from being stale, oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

so when NGs arrive Fresh Pond, do they throw out 87xx, 88xx 89xx, 90xx, 91xx RTS's and send them to MTA BUS?

I can't say anything for sure but my guess is since its only 30 buses that they will knock out the worst of the 96 RTS'.

[T J Trainman]

The 1996 Novas( most of them) are going to MTA Bus. Speaking of MTA Bus......8778 from FP is now at.....LGA.

[Grand Concourse]

Well, seems LGA will see to it that bus gets to ECH in no time...

[Cait Sith]

Let the swap bonanza begin, I just received a photo from a friend of mine, 8840 is West Farms bound.

Well the first ones to go would be 8752 & 8753 since those are the oldest we got (and the 2nd and 3rd oldest buses in the fleet)

IMO if there are buses that are in worse shape than those two you may see them stay on the road a little longer.

That's true, which would explain why 8778 left first to go to death row (my little attempt at humor lol)

Is the B38 in Grand Av Depot for extra trips besides Fresh Pond which always runs?
