MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[BxM4Woodlawn]

O-5's are the best buses out there. Any kind of O-5. CNG, Bee-Line, regular. The RTS's are pretty good too. All Low Floor Buses suck!

[Cait Sith]

With my own eyes 9836,9889,3220 CP - Scrap

 

Those two were mentioned.

 

I think 3220 got into an accident of some sort. I forgot what the deal was with that one. I'll try and get more info.

[BM5 via Woodhaven]

What's the status with 3218 (the bus that caught on fire on the LIE)?

[R32sdabest]

9899 and 9849 was out today

[Cait Sith]

Still OOS.

[GojiMet86]

9849 had a bit of a problem and was at Jamaica OOS for like 3 hours before finally going out of service.

Yep and because of that it is getting scrapped. 9905 is the only one left I can't believe 9871 didn't make it and it was very close to NYCT spec's

[Fresh Pond]

Yes, it's only a matter of time before them buses are done for good...

[T J Trainman]

9849 suffered a prob? That's it. It's finished.

9899 is the other one as well.

If it's something major, then it's finished...

[GojiMet86]

They were saying it was a transmission problem? Something about the fluid being too low. I wasn't there, but my friends were reporting it to me.

Oh low transmission fluid, not really anything major...

[E For Erica]

Lol I can feel the suspense coming from the CNG lovers right now.

[NewFlyer 230]

They may still scrap it since CP doesn't need those buses anymore.

 

BTW I just say a Orion V CNG on the Q25. It looks weird seeing them in person since a majority of them were retired in late 2012.

5602 listed TU, its at MJQ

[The TransitMan]

3558 at LGA

Now at JFK as I saw it on the Q60 heading towards Jamaica with #3660 behind it.

I'll be surprised if they even make it to the summer...

RIP Orion V CNG

Only place to catch them NOW would be NiceBus

Those aren't goin anywhere anytime soon

The remaining Orion V CNGs are going to be here at least until June, so not all of them have been retired yet.

[R32 3838]

Trust me, they're not making it until June, they only use 2 out of the 3 left, they want them to stay until June, they won't make it until June, any bus can replace them

[JFK Depot]

lol I say May... They crap out in May

[ciboii22]

5135 FB - UP, it's on the 3 run 116.

[NewFlyer 230]

lol I say May... They crap out in May

They could go anytime, if a bus breakdown or has a problem like 9915 then it will go quicker. I've been seeing them a lot on the Q25 and Q34.

The X22 route listed on the roster (Outta Charleston),

Edited March 8, 2014 by Q23 Central Terminal

[Cait Sith]

To a certain degree, there shouldn't be any splits or trippers listed on the S.I Express routes because nowadays, all the depots have a piece on some route. Charleston & Yukon does pieces on the x10, Castleton does a piece or two on the x17, etc etc etc.
