I know exactly who you're talking about

I saw 9673 on the Q59 tonight. I am so glad that there are some 96xxs over at Maspeth. Also spotted 6300 on the B39 today. It was weird seeing an Orion V on that route, but it still felt good seeing that in Brooklyn.

 

All of this was seen while "staking out" the B44 Select Bus Service.

5412 is still on the M15, btw what happened to 5404 and 5420

[Rick44]

5412 added.

[S78 via Hylan]

If not already noted, 6186 is at Castleton. It's on the S51 now.

6788 on loan at Quill. Spotted on the M22.

6789 was over there a couple nights ago, ran a few pieces on the M8. Wonder why Quill needs buses--come to think of it, prolly the NG repaints.

Yessir, they are getting them done quick too. 3936 was sparkling on the M42.

So now that the B44 sbs is running, and they don't need artics on the local B44, did FB have to give up any buses?

they may have lost a bus or 2. Once this SBS started the locals went straight downhill, and they do need more artucs

[Grand Concourse]

Thanks and yeah going to be ironic that the artics (which were intended for the sbs) are nearly empty and quite frequent/bunching (or maybe it's those short turn buses?) while the locals are packed. I just hope it's first week bugs, but they really need to add back some stops for the transfer lines. In the meantime they could try to keep the B44 all RTSs since the lf buses are just bad for capacity (people hesitant to move to the back of the bus and crowding at the front).

9112 back at EN from JFK. It's on the B25 right now

[Rick44]

[MHV9218]

Oh, I don't think Quill is missing any 5200s anymore. Just saw 5209 on the M8 yesterday.

 

6788 slept over at Quill, bus is on the 98 right now.

I feel like GA could use 5000s (as well as FP). Because a lot of their 94-9500s are lacking right now smh. They should have a trade with FB since the B44 has +SBS+ now.

FP did have 5000s...5055-5074 were delivered there brand new but they left sometime near when the first flamethrowers hybrids came in

[NewFlyer 230]

Wasn't 4170 originally delivered new to CS, why is it at FP?

[Rick44]

Updated now.

 

CP Man, it was switched to that depot - don't know when though.

I know they did. But FP & GA could still use them. FP had f**ked up RTSs for the longest and in a way so did GA but GA did a good job maintaining them tho but they starting to die.

[Calvin]

9699 is at Flatbush, not at the roster

[Rick44]

Corrected.

[T J Trainman]

9072 ENY to JFK. It was seen (not by me) on the Q-52 yesterday.
