MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[JFK Depot]

It'd be nice if the 7000's went back to push out the buses from the 9350-9699 group at QV

Those are ODD BALL buses... You can't just move 1 or 2... They'd have to move them all and it really makes no sense to move them at this point.... QV in the long run will probably end up with XDs to go with the LFS...

Anyone knows why the new artics being delivered to Jfk depot have to make a pit stop at the port authority bus depot at Jfk first. Was driving by today and saw 5373 parked up in there so I guess delivery to Jfk is imminent.

That's a satellite facility for buses, where new buses tend to go to for acceptance and such. Also, buses from the year 2004 and up tend to go there for maintenance work as well.

 

5370 at JFK.

Is 4180,4187,4199 at Casey Stengel still or is it at QV.

All at CS

Ok. #8237, #8239-8240 are at Castleton. Just posting BUT if someone can confirm that...greatly appreciated. Pretty sure that those buses are there.

 

 

Also, #2731-2732 are at Charleston. Can you believe this? Just about 2-3 months ago, MCI #2731-2732 were at Yukon.

6233 at Castleton.

8235-8240 all at Castleton.

4900 JAM to WF

 

4908 and 4932 went too, but they all returned to Jamaica later today. So temporary stuff.

 

Only 6 1996s ran out of Jamaica today, really getting bleak.

NOOO!!!!! Don't tell me JA is sending the youngest old RTS to WF, and the fact that more RTS are going to WF.

Edit: Oh I hope it was a loan, just like the other RTS above my post.

8944 is definitely one of them.... Seen it during rush hour on the Q4... Get your pics early they are about to be gone

Bye Bye 1996 Novas✌????️

Ok. #8241-8242, #8245-8247 and #8251 (the LAST bus for Castleton) are at Castleton. Just posting but can someone confirm...greatly appreciated. So far, I'm 2 out of 3!

 

 

...and if what "Calvin" said is true...if there are no more Orion Vs at Charleston, then I'd give it another week before Castleton joins Charleston.

Yukon still needs 8294-8317 so that all the V's at Staten Island are wiped out. 

 

About 5 more units to go at Castleton so that the order is complete.

Just got a text from a friend of mine, for ROSTER purposes...Prevost X3-45 #2729 and up at 2016 models. Just passing the information along.

 

...oh and #2733 is now at Charleston.

So in conclusion, how many Vs are left?

[Via Garibaldi 8]

Who else besides Staten Island is getting local buses delivered?  I've lost track at the moment.  Have they switched back to delivering to Kingsbridge?

3 (KB) + 3 (ECH) = 6 in the Bronx, about 50 units left in Staten Island (CAS/YUK)

Jamaica and Gun Hill. Queens Village has 23 buses in the order (11 now)

 

And also: 2730 delivered to CH

Wow... 3 left at KB?  That explains all of the new buses I've been seeing... This should allow them to rehab some of those 2009 3Gs... Some of them could use a little TLC... Cracks here... Dings there...

According to member "NovaBus 5000"

5371 is back at JFK with body damage. Sounds like that bus went through some rough training sessions!

LOL... Rough training sessions, and they send the bus back to JFK of all places!

Because that's where the unit is supposed to go in the first place.

That I know, but wasn't the point... That flew right over your head... lol

Speaking of bus moves, why are the training buses that I see Manhattan always out of Queens?  Wouldn't it make more sense to get a bus from Manhattan?

Some of those intersections in Queens are TIGHT as hell. Just hoping that the bus didn't get into an accident. So far the buses are coming in a rapid rate.
