MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[Fresh Pond]

the following have been added to ECH storage and will not likely become scrap: 8904, 9006, 8809, 8794, 8804, 8793, 8764, 8810, 8781, 8797, 8860, 8864, 8918, 9163, 8848, 9037, 8829, 8756, 8796. However, the following have DO NOT STRIP written on them.: 8796, 8756, 8829, 9037, 8848, 9163, 8918, 8864, 8860. Any other changes I ll post them.

 

None of those buses mentioned are going into storage. They failed DOT inspection and will be fixed and returned to service

And how do you know this????

[JFK Depot]

I dont think JA is going to move there NG. If UP Sends 45 93xx & 94xx there are enough LFS nobody will be short. In the end it will look like this.

 

9390-94?? TO QV

8045-8089 TO JA

4900-4944 TO UP

 

I dont know where all of these shortages are coming from. Seem like a simple even swap.

It's not an even swap tho.... JA are losing those NGs...

There's NOT enough 97 Novas to cover the loss of LFS's to JA

NG's and Novas to QV...

Novas to UP...

JA gets LFS's

Jamaica still ends up short unless they aren't sending ALL 49xx's to UP...

[S78 via Hylan]

4059 and 4137 are at Yukon.

EDIT: 4044 is at Charleston. Currently on the S78.

They can keep it, I saw it yesterday on the Q110 so it must have gone there this morning

since when do MTA buses go through DOT inspection? I know TA and OA buses are exempt from DOT inspection. Maybe it is an MTAB thing...

4461from JA was doing a school tripper on the Q88 for some reason instead of CS. All the other school trippers were CS buses.

4461 might actually be a transfer.

If I have my facts correct, then 4461 is among the buses that is in  range to move over to the Queens Village.

 

Also, I do believe I saw 6194 last night on the B39 in Bridge Plz.

[T J Trainman]

Remember 4453-4482 are QV bound so if 4461 is at QV its legit.

Does anyone know when Mother Clara Hale Depot will be opened? I want to see some Diesel back on the BX21

The exterior is pretty close to finishing, but right now it's looking like late Spring-Summer 2014 at the earliest. Not sure when 126th gets the eviction notice...

Lets not say this just yet....

And if your right then its 4900-4940, 4942-4944. 4941 is scrapped its actually shredded into pieces (months ago).

And how do you know this????

Fresh Pond is right.... All NYCT buses that go to TA bus have to be DOT certified.. If they DO NOT pass inspection then they have to get fixed or whatever is wrong with them. For MTA Bus its mandatory.. NYCT doesn't have to get their buses DOT certified.. I didn't know this until someone told me this summer.

That's my understanding as well.

[E For Erica]

Heard like 3-4 Vs on the B38 when I was in LG at my friend's house & saw 2 Vs with yukon stickers still on both on the B60 when I took it today. (BTW that was my first time on the B60 and I hope I never have to take that bus again the service totally sucks.) Looks like GA still getting more. And to be clear they're replacing the NGs not the RTSs right ?

MTA Bus's buses require DOT certification since NYCDOT still funds MTA Bus...
