LGA batch of XD60s will kill off the remaining RTSs....

 

All they have to do is switch the Q53 back to LGA whenever the next pick starts... Keep in mind converting a route to from 40 footers to Artics is a service cut...

 

 

If LGA batch of XD60s is up long before a new pick starts... just have them sit in ECH Storage until the pick starts.

Its not always a service cut.

 

If you do the 3:2 ratio (3 rigids for every 2 artics), then yes its a service cut. But if its a bus for bus replacement (see M34/A SBS) it isn't.

5335 to MQ.

2612, 2614 delivered to YU.

 

FB artics are leaving like flies. Now 5 buses have left since summer. 5324,5327,5328,5335,5336

Hope the moves are temporarily. How many units FB needs to make service on the B44SBS.

The service stinks currently, and now the B46SBS is on the way. 

Before you know it FB may end up with some trash buses from the Bronx.. The braintrust of the (MTA).

The B44 in general is a heavy route for FB. It just seems very suspect to have 32 (SBS) and 3 spares for service for the 44.

Unless the service levels aren't being met. Usually it's supposed to be 35-40 (SBS) for service and few spares. (IMO).
