Are these buses (I'm guessing) are displaying "MTA New York City Bus"?

No. They were sent with the MTA Bus label intact.

[Calvin]

The former 2002-03 JFK D60s are still attached with MTA Bus logos at this time

 

Also:

5413 delivered to JFK

My bad y'all , I need glasses lol

jfk got rid of those dh60 so fast. With the loans from bp, only artics that will be on routes are xd60 in new scheme.

[Future ENY OP]

 

Is LGA retrofitted to handle artics

Since they are due to receive 5439-5490.

 

Their order should possibly be here within the next 2-3 weeks. I spotted 5419 and 5422 at the facility. The order is coming in like ???????????? cakes.

Hopefully soon we could know which NYCT depots to receive the XD60 order.

The question is when will the xd40 option start coming in? we where supposed to receive 60 by the end of June.

Patience. Patience and patience. This order is strictly an Brooklyn order with some buses heading to Manhattan. However, no depots haven't been selected and everything is not finalized.

 

Also, we haven't ended the month of May. So this order may possibly get delayed.

[Around the Horn]

Didn't the XD40 option order get delayed so New Flyer could deal with the spec change and accelerated delivery of the new XD60s? I thought I read that somewhere.

Which was expected and the CNG is more likely to be delayed as well. The MTA probably wants the new paint scheme on the new 40 footers as well and working on the whether design can work with the standard length of said buses and future orders too. Don't forget the artics were delayed as well. I'm dying to see if the XD40 and LFS can "work that paint" lol

I think the new scheme will work good on the XD40's and the LFS.

It's just an matter about SBS? In which I think they are going to continue using the SBS wrap that's designed for the service.

I'm iffy on the LFS.

 

The scheme works on the XD60 because the larger area above the windows allows the gold line to extend and reach the front point of the bus. It would be tougher to fit the gold stripe on an LFS and include the light blue area with the number and WIFI/ USB decals.
