Yeah, 4922 did not go to Grand. In fact, it's at CS storage.

 

CS Storage List:

 

JA buses: 4918, 4922, 4925, 4932-4933, 8852, 8907, 8932, 9190, 9267.

QV buses: 9381, 9545, 9555, 9557, 9624, 9638, 9657, 9662.

SMH at them putting 98-99 Novas in storage while ex bees still running in service. If anything they should let ECH and BP borrow them 98-99 Novas for the summer and put in ex bees in storage.

I just don't understand why they do that. What is this bias against passing those down to MTAB? It's all now, and all of this stuff is on it's way out.

3520 to BP. Still has JFK stickers though

[R32 3838]

I wonder what they gave up, I'm hoping 3783 doesn't go to JFK

[Q43LTD]

I hope not either...

[E For Erica]

So I guess Grand isn't short anymore since they got 1 more Orion V & a few 9600's right?

6430-6432, 6436 to MV. They may be loaners, but those are oddly sequential numbers for loans.

6757 MV to OH.

3901-3903 MQ to OS.

5020, 5022-5024 OS to MQ.

That doesn't sound like loaners.......hmmm.

3_15, i think 3515, with a Baisley sticker is on the Q10, on the bus roster it says it is from Far Rock though

6429 also to MV. That makes 6365-6426, 6429-6432, 6436.

[T J Trainman]

Ok.....def not loaners......

They have always been like that to MTA Bus. That is why MTA bus always received the bad and or aging buses. JFK was suppose to keep those 2000's D60HF's until who knows when a new MTA artic bus order comes. I thought they were suppose to get some new artics in 2013 but they got the 03 D60HF's. I wouldn't be surprised if JFK and or BP get NYCT LFSA's while NYCT gets the new ones. They damn sure don't care about LGA that is why they still have about 90 1996's constantly going to JA to get fixed and sometimes swap buses. Having buses that old and with LGA's care for the RTS's don't help at all. I believe it's always going to be like that until they all finally become one and all are NYCT buses. I can't wait for the swap to be finalized because Queens will definitely have those old bus stop signs replaced and updated.

4968 is still at Grand. It was on the B38 an hour ago.

[T J Trainman]

@ new flyer the 1996 Novas will be here for another 2+ more years get used to it.

Someone done goofed at ECH...1306 which was supposed to be set for preservation wound up stripped.

Is QV getting some NGs from MV in exchange for the OGs ?

They should get some 6300's in exchange for the 6400's they're sending out.

Not all bus swaps are direct.

[T J Trainman]

8804 ECH storage to LGA.   Also, 3904 MJQ to 126st.

[E For Erica]

5149 is at Grand. You can guess where I caught it lol.

 

But seriously, it's on the B38 heading towards Downtown Brooklyn right now.

It's also behind 4968. It might be a loaner though.
