MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[Calvin]

So apparently there's an 8290 @ Yukon. These things aren't popping up on BusTime anymore.

 

Most new buses aren't visible on bustime until a few days later. Don't always use bustime as it may not even show recent arrivals or transfers.

Usually it'll take like about a few weeks or a month later for buses to show up online since they arrived just now or recently.

That's how I've been tracking everything. Prevost 2700-2702 were on Bustime the next day after they arrived.

And if they aren't paying attention, they might still have the number of whatever old bus had the GPS first (if it isn't brand new)

Most likely the GPS isn't installed...

Yep lmao... I remember when 7418 showed up as 6109 on BusTime 

[LegoBrickBreaker101]

Is 7417 delivered to Casey Stengel yet because I havent seen that bus run.

Just remember that just because YOU haven't seen it in service doesn't mean that it's OOS or not at the depot.

Not every bus immediately gets bustime when it arrived. For example, when I spotted 8410, that bus was not trackable on bustime.

[GojiMet86]

Give it a couple of weeks.

[Cait Sith]

Give it a couple of weeks.

I saw a Jamaica Depot 

RTS 88XX on the Q10 yesterday walking home. Couldn't write down the number or take a picture because it was shabbat.

[Far rockaway]

It must be 8869. I think that bus still has a Jamaica Depot Sticker on it.

[Rick44]

Roster updated, thanks everyone! Scraps removed as well. And yes I'll miss the near rare spotting of 2185 as well. Last time I saw it was last week.

[R179 8258]

When KB and GH get there Nova are they going to send the NG they have back to Brooklyn to retired some on the RTS at FP & GA ???

That's the plan, except KB might barely send anything out since the amount of Vs there nearly equal the amount of LFS to be delivered.

also ga or fp should send out some orion's to eny so they en turn will send nova's to jam.

[Calvin]

524-525 moved to Spring Creek

[Fresh Pond]

also ga or fp should send out some orion's to eny so they en turn will send nova's to jam.

Then what would Grand or the Pond get if they giving up buses? Both got all of their XD40s delivered and aren't getting anything else for now.

yeah, that was it.

the ng's being returned from the bx, and the and the bring displaced from si.

Not looking to speculate anything but the buses that GH and KB received from FB, FP and GA will eventually return back to FB, FP and GA! in due time.

[R32 3838]

Nah they need to keep em

[Daniel The Cool]

the ng's being returned from the bx, and the and the bring displaced from si.

I wouldn't count on the NGs moving from SI since the Nova Order doesn't have enough to send the NGs to the mainline and retire the Orion Vs all at once. Same thing with the Bronx order since KB has 30 something Orion Vs and alot more NGs. 

 

9442 ran on the M66 the last few days btw. I would wait until tomorrow before moving it to Quill on the roster since the last few major holidays the MHV RTS went to Qull only to be sent back when the holidays was over.

[R33WF]

4946 from Quill to West Farms. Rode it today on the Bx8. The bus still has it Quill sticker on the side.

[srein1267]

 I thought Q53 was going back to LGA this pick, if not when ?
