MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[Micstromme]

So is Grand Avenue losing their Next Gens, as well? I sure hope not. Just as long as 4701 and 4702 stay put.

 

Any who, 9397 is gone from GA. Sent to OF.

[T J Trainman]

2 things here #1 can we please refrain from using "OF" it's MCH not OF any more. #2 regarding GAs NGs yes they are being transferred due to fleet age and mileage GA would be to young or to new if they had both NGs and XDs.

[Kingsbridgeviewer382]

9354, 9556, 9629 QV to scrap.

9650 UP to Scrap.

8833 LGA to Scrap.

9604 FP to Scrap.

I mean internally it's still considered OF. You know what OF is, so what's the problem?

Sheesh looks like MTA is really cleaning house by retiring the 97-98 Novas as well as the 99 Orion V's

The Dept. of Buses suits don't answer to bus fans. They can send any bus to any depot.

2087, 2137 also to scrap

9600s are being scrapped quick.

[Rob3737]

The 1996 Novas are much stronger than the 1997-1998 batch. 9604 is a piece of trash anyway

[Eric B]

How does that manage to be? If that's true, then sending 96's to MTAB and stubbornly keeping the later ones was counterproductive.

[Armani]

Just saw 5008 drive down Sutter Ave towards Mother Gaston? ENY bound I guess but it may be going back to FLA

[T J Trainman]

I just saw 6212 a few minutes ago on the Q-32 with GH stickers on it.

I think you mean 6213. 6212 is at Charleston at this time

[MHV9218]

Nah, 6221 is the bus he means. I saw it wearing GH stickers too.

[T J Trainman]

I rode 6238 in the Q-13 so it's safe to say GH or KB to CS

6238 came from Staten Island

 

(6238 Yukon to CS)

[R32 3838]

I think those 1997/98 RTS are going to be stored then sent to mta bus

[MHV9218]

7234 new to GA.

9372 QV to FP.

 

FB and FP each have an O5 in the depot, presumably for work. 

[MHV9218]

9374 QV to GA.

 

9389 QV to OF. Given that none of these buses are hitting service, I'm going to assume this is related to some larger move. 

[MCI D4000 81994]

2570 was parked at the front gate of Charleston.

[tvega961]

2570-71 new to Charleston
6208 to Yukon from CS
6125 back to Stengel

9667 from Ulmer Park to Grand Av.

7236 delivered to Grand Av.

9667 was always at Grand Avenue. You might mean the other way around. GA to UP.

[Kanarsie Guy]

Nope 9667 still has the FP sticker it was at UP

[Future ENY OP]

Nope 9667 still has the FP sticker it was at UP

 

Right.. That part I forgot. But it looks like it has returned to UP (briefly).
