MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[JubaionBx12+SBS]

5786 is at GH with GH stickers on it

[NewFlyer 230]

Some of these may be duplicates, but these buses are new to JFK: 5536, 5556, 5559, 5645, and 5687. The artics are likely displacing the RTSs to East New York, at least 3 of which were at ENY for many years prior.

No the D60HF's are not replacing the RTS. The 2003 D60's are replacing the 2000 D60HF's. Those RTS's are probably extra because I really don't see many RTS's out except for rush hour.

[T J Trainman]

More moves.......524 and 525 SC to CP.    6846 ENY to CS.

[Armani]

Add 6562 to Fresh Pond. I saw it on the B38 yesterday

[T J Trainman]

9321 is still at LGA. Also confirmed on 8912 at LGA.

[Rick44]

There are a few moves that have went unnoticed till now (Thanks Armani for the 6562 move! MTA Bus Time works wonders.) Apparently, 6562, 6563, 6564 & 6566 are all on FP routes right now.

Also, TJ, thanks to your report on 6846, I also discovered that 6844 is working the Q58 right now too. I'm guessing that because FP doesn't have Gen II+'s, that one's in CS too.

 

Thanks to TJ for the updated scrap information.

Also, thanks to cm99746, duplicates are gone from the last update.

 

I forgot to mention, it is updated.

^ You have a few duplicate buses over at JFK.

 

8832, 8859, 8974 JK - EN.

 

Also, not sure what that rumor was about retiring the V CNGs, but 9849 was out and about today.

[Rick44]

Yeah, there's only 3 Orion V CNG's left from what I understand.

 

Ok, those 3 are moved in the new update.

And the duplicates are gone as well.

5464 and 5471 are 1999-2000 units. 5510 and up are the 2002-03 units, 5509 and below are the older ones.

[Calvin]

so exactly why is the amount of RTS JFK has is going downhill to ENY?

[T J Trainman]

Because ENY is sending OG hybrids to CS And FP.

[Orion VII 4 Life]

Because ENY is sending OG hybrids to CS And FP.

And now that the Q10 is all artic they can lose a few 40 footers.

[E For Erica]

Because ENY is sending OG hybrids to CS And FP.

They need to give all of the ponds hybrids back.

[JFK Depot]

Because ENY is sending OG hybrids to CS And FP.

Ok I'm alil confused on this one...

So JFK is displacing RTS's to ENY

ENY is displacing OG 07s to CS and FP

Am I correct so far ?

So CS is getting the higher # OG 07s (6800s) and FP is basically getting the ones they sent over years ago back (6500s & 6600s) ?

[Q43LTD]

So East New York will be RTS and Excelsiors?

[Rick44]

6560-6567 all confirmed in FP now.

6845 is on the Q12 now, so that's also in CS.

 

Roster updated.

[Rick44]

I don't think all of them are leaving, just enough to even out the roster.

[Cait Sith]

Everybody seems to forget one crucial reason....

SCHEDULE ADJUSTMENTS!

Lines everywhere got schedule adjustments, leading to most of these 40ft swaps.

[E For Erica]

Ok so if FP is getting the other half of their orginial old gen hybrids, my guess is that some next gens would be bumped off to another depot?

 

And it makes sense for ENY to be all desiel. They treated those hybrids kind of sheety anyway. But does that mean they're getting more 96's from JFK & LaGuardia? I wouldn't mind that but I feel like flatbush should give some 4900's or 5000's back to ENY because they do have a lot and the B46 is slated for SBS in the future so some of those RTS's are gonna be bumped anyway.

Don't forget, Flatbush gave up their 97-98 Novas in return for the 4900s and 5000s they got.

[E For Erica]

Don't forget, Flatbush gave up their 97-98 Novas in return for the 4900s and 5000s they got.

Not to ENY. I know they can't replace all the hybrids that might leave ENY, but they have over 100 1999 Bus Models. I don't even think they need their Next Gens lol. So give ENY back something. But I understand that ENY is gonna get slammed with more 96's during the swap. Which is something I'm kinda looking foward too. Those things know how to move on the Q56.

[S78 via Hylan]

I didn't say to ENY specifically. I should have been more clear on that, but I meant that they gave buses in general for the ones they got. You almost have to remember that Flatbush has some of Brooklyn busiest routes, so 100 99 Novas may seem like enough, but those buses alone aren't.

 

When bus swaps happen between depots, they aren't always direct. For example, When FLA got the 98-99 Novas, they gave their 97-98's to Ulmer Park, then they gave up half of their XD40's to ENY, so if anything, ENY somewhat got the better end of the stick. (Although, the XD40's were not brand new to them, it's still something).
