MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[mta B43]

That 9836 has been having problems for the longest...That bus just needs to go already. I rode it on the Q53 this summer. Bus sounded horrible.

It did have a lot of problems but now it got fixed at the CMF so it's doing pretty good for now.

I don't get the purpose of having those 5 Orion V CNG's still in service. They don't even run on some days and when they retire nothing is replacing them unless CP is going to get 5 buses from another depot.

It's probably cuz of the split on the Q72 and Q29 that uses CPs C40s

If CP gets the Q53 in January, they won't be able to retire the Orion V CNGs. They will have to stay in service.

True. We'll see what happens

The Orion V CNG's would be retired by the time the Q53 comes to CP since the Q64 is slated to go to Baisley Park.

[MTA Bus]

I heard that CP is getting the Q53 & all of the Q72, which means that they are going to have to keep the buses.

1300 to Tuskegee.

Like I said, the Q64 will be sent to Baisley Park in exchange due to LGA depot's construction.

A dumb smart-ass deleted the entire column of Orion V CNG's in CP from the MetroWiki roster... Anyways it's updated as of 11:30pm, and 1300 was added to Tuskegee, as well 3171 to YO.

I wouldn't add it as yet. It still wears 126 decals so it just might be a loaner.

[Rick44]

You're right about that. I'll take that down, I usually don't move them if it's still got the other depot's logos unless it's there for more than 5 days.

Let me clear this up regarding the Q-53. It will be LGAs line, it WILL be USING CPs buses. The Q-29, 72, and 104 are all staying at LGA.

[T J Trainman]

From ECH storage back to the LGA depot are: 8781, 8793, and 8809.

[Armani]

4956 is at ENY. I saw it on the B82 with ENY Stickers

[MHV9218]

Stayed the night...it's on the 86 right now.

imo, they should split the Q53 with JFK to take off some of the pressure at LGA. They have too many buses there. The Q53 could be interlined with any of the buses that serves the Rockaways. It makes more sense as a JFK/FR line than LGA.

2065 UP - Storage/Scrap.

They can not split the Q53 with JFK because of the different unions.

It would not work because JFK is short. I'm pretty sure LGA and CP are part of the same union so it might be possible for it to be split with CP.

[T J Trainman]

Is there any reason why I just saw 9372 and 9398 on the Q-17/LTD just now? Also 4473 JAM to QV it's on the Q-27 with JAM stickers on it.

[Q43LTD]

Maybe Jamaica is short?

[Armani]

Possible school run? Idk

yeah he is right LGA and jfk are different unions

[Rick44]

ciboii22 - 2065 or 2165? I don't have 2065 on the Ulmer roster.

Also, 4473 has already been on the JA roster, and the other two 93xx could be loans.
