MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[RailBus63]

What is the recall that is being referred to in recent posts?

[Jdog14]

As of yesterday. I seen a few FB artic buses leaving Brooklyn to new destinations. Why can't 100th // MJQ // KB can't send buses over to GH. (Small rant)...... Carry on.

 

Maybe because of mileage or they may be short themselves.

 It's the New Flyer CNG recall that is affecting our C40 fleet.

What is the recall that is being referred to in recent posts?

 

The recall is only affecting New Flyer CNG buses, like our C40s

...coincidentally, other New Flyer buses post-2009 (LFs, LFRs, XDs, XDEs, XTs, XNs, etc) are having a separate recall.

Back doors may open unexpectedly due to some issue which is also being corrected at no charge

[Cait Sith]

    

Those are all loans, guessing it has to do with the recall and that they might be short

 

The recall is not the problem. WF has the smallest amount of C40LFs, so that doesn't make sense.

 

They're having problems with the CNG refueling stations. Which is the root to all of this.

JG ? Or WF ?

[Cait Sith]

West Farms.

 

-EDIT-

 

By the way, the recall situation with the C40LFs is almost over.

I think WF has 6033. I saw it on the Bx35 not too long ago.

 

Scratch that it's a loaner from KB. I remember seeing the KB decals on it.

That probably explains why I saw 5938 working the Bx36 today. 

 

EDIT: After checking BusTime there's a few other artics on the 36 as well. 5636, 5674, 5734, and 5945.

I don't think that's the case. There have been artics on the Bx36 well before the "CNG Refueling Crisis". Sometimes they are out there for rush-hours.

I suppose so, but I've only seen one artic on the Bx36 at most during rush hours. That's why this looks odd to me.

[B53RICH]

I need a confirmation, BusTime had shown 6819 on the Q54 this morning. Was this a loan, move or a fluke?

[B53RICH]

Just checked BusTime, 6819 is still at ENY, on the Q24 as I type. No transfer.

Yes I saw it on the Bx46 too.

Also remember that once the XN60s come in, the Bx36 will be 100% artic. So what may seem like unnecessary or extra artics in the future could be regular artics for the Bx36 to run.

That's good to know. Hopefully the other Washington Heights lines will be that way too.

 

I don't think it's unnecessary at all. I've seen the Bx36 crowds. I've always wondered why they don't run artics on that line frequently.

[7 Flushing Line]

8068 on the Q27.

[Fresh Pond]

7613 is also at West Farms. Ran on the Bx36 earlier today

[Calvin]

Lack of artics. The Bx15/19 hogs up all the artics from WF.

This is one reason why I believe every Bronx garage should be at least 75% artics/25% standards. Most of these routes are getting more crowded by the day.

[Micstromme]

8067 and 4198 have both found their way over to the QV depot. Both on the Q43 tonight.

The routes from the Bronx that really needs artics comes from WF (Bx6/36 for an example). All we can do is wait until the XNs come. Other than that GH and KB has enough artics to go around.

[Future ENY OP]

5325 from FB to GH

 

I wonder what garbage GH will send over to FB as far as artics. Im guessing 2 things. Mileage and that GH is short again.

So right now has 5324-5326. All from Flatbush.

Other than that GH and KB has enough artics to go around.

Right now GH is taking artics from Flatbush leaving them short.

[Micstromme]

Is 4572 back at Flatbush? I'm not sure. I hope not.

[JFK Depot]

7613 is on the 2 overnight G.O. right now as we speak
