MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[Micstromme]

Honestly, since both GA and FP are the Brooklyn North Depots that are seemingly reserved for saving mileage for older buses, I wouldn't be too surprised if ENY and/or UP gave those two aforementioned depots their 48xxs and took the factory fresh buses for themselves.

 

Would you guys mind that or wouldn't care as long as the Grand and Fresh Pond didn't receive "junk" from other depots around the city?

GA takes very good care of their buses so it really does not make much of a difference to me.

Nobody who printed the information of the new proposed bus assignments had the courtesy to give credit to Trevor Logan who got the information.  I posted the assignments on my fb page and I made sure to give him credit and a thank you.

 

There will be a lot of shifting of buses going on.  What gets sent where will be determined by NYCT.  Some of you should analyze the numbers of new buses coming into certain depots vs. what is to be retired.  Trevor says all Orion V's will be retired as well as all RTS' from 1996/97.  The best of 9350 to 9699 (unknown amount) will be saved as well as all from 4900-5249.

 

Several depots will be getting more new buses than need to be replaced.   Jamaica, ENY, and Flatbush come to mind.  SI is getting a total of 198 new buses, yet about 135 Orion V's need to be replaced.  The extras can be used to help replace the approx. 72 Orion V's at Casey Stengel.

 

And enough about the Bronx and Manhattan getting screwed.  You forget about all the new artics you've gotten.

The 5900's at MCH should exclusively be used on the M60SBS because they have luggage racks.  Therefore they are not going to

KB.  Rather they are going to MJQ where the M60SBS will be housed as of 1/4/15.  Whichever depot houses the M60SBS the buses must follow.  The d/h will be up the West Side to 106 St.  As of 1/4/15 MCH will handle the buses (1200's) for the M15SBS and operate that route.  Tuskegee will have the M15 local.

What's the whole point of the Bx12 SBS using the 1200s(as its now for local service) even if as of now SBS consist of 57xx's-58xx's and 5306-5323? same with a local artic route using a 5700 LFSA but now using 1200s

For mileage purposes and using the 1200s on other routes. Plus the 1200s have been on the SBS since it started.

You mean "since they arrived". When Bx12 SBS started, D60 Galaxies ran the service.
