MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[The Real]

There are no Cummins M11E (9140, 9142-9149) buses in service. They are all awaiting overhaul.

 

Uh, Overhaul?! There is none left on the property, they are all tuna and soda cans by now.

Thanks, however 9043 has been at WF for a bit now.

 

Sorry about that, I dont live in NY anymore so when I saw it I just wanted to let you guys know.

I was informed that 6094 is now at the CS depot. It was seen (not by me) on the Q-32 with CS stickers on it.

I heard they all went to Cummins. I got a copy of the current contract for engine work on the M11E's.

Wowsers, well I know for a fact, 8 out of the 10 have been crushed, I have no idea where 9140 and 9141 (the DD Convert) went.

It's cool, that's why we're are here to inform each other!

[Engr08]

Sounds good, I have a question. These buses that the MTA have that are testing, will the MTA keep them even if they go with another order?

As far as I know the LFS, XD40, Orion 7 EPA 10 and Prevost X3-45s will be kept by the MTA and not returned to the MFG. The MTA did pay for the coaches.

[Engr08]

Ok cool, its nice to see a bunch different buses.

Ok...... Now I'm lost. Why in the hell did MTA contract Cummins to do M11 overhauls??

Correct. Those buses will all become part of the permanent fleet, and likely be transferred and swapped one the testing is completed.

It sounded like a turbo engine inside 9151 but was that a turbo on a Detroit Diesel didnt know that could be possible I thought it only can go on Cummins Engines

A certain buschat poster wont like this post. Anyway, I was informed that 9576 is now at the GA depot, It was seen not by me on the B-24 with GA stickers on it.

[ciboii22]

Lga now has 1886 from college point . Thats weird hmmm ?

[T J Trainman]

Might as well add 1889 and 3209 to that mix as well. I think they are all there for maint work.

[Grand Concourse]

Forgive me if someone mentioned it already, I was 'gone' for 2 wks.

 

Saw 5135 [the bus that seems to move around a lot] on the B41 on Tuesday. So I don't remember if it ever left or not, but it's here with FB depot stickers on it. Perhaps they have it back [if it left] due to the coming school semester?

Its been there for about a month now from QV I believe...

[Grand Concourse]

Thanks, time off made me forget about that. But it's back at FB. So I guess FB is gonna need it cuz schools are open now. Heh, I want 9696 back too. Lol

You can't have 9696 back b/c I got it on the Q43 and QV said you not getting it back lololol!

I really hope 5131-5134, 5136 + 5202-5204 come back into FLA from MJQ.. That swap didnt really make sense sometime in mid july, but hey this is the MTA were dealing with..

Who gives a sh*t? Stop mentioning subfail and busfail peeps!

[Grand Concourse]

:angry tone: Why you...

 

Lol! But eventually it will have to go or some other newer RTS once the next batch of buses are headed for QV

 

Funny enough today I got a ride on 5135 n/b B41.

Very true. I would prefer FB be an all RTS depot [comprised of mostly the newer RTSs] and other depots takes the NGs. The whole fleet age 'average' deal is just crap.

[Eric B]

I like the NG's in FLA because they remind me a bit of the fishbowls, which are really what belong there!

[Grand Concourse]

If only there were more like 5227... I would love the fishbowls to be back. I don't really like the lf buses mainly because they aren't very good when there's a larger crowd. To me the RTS is the best thing running. O5s are ok, but I'd pick RTSs hands down. Fishbowls would be the only thing I'd place higher on my favs over an RTS.

I totally agree. I also like the NG's in Flatbush. Not for only balancing the fleet age for the depot, but its prime busiest lines: B41/44/46/49 ALL use the NG's and there's cameras installed movement.
