MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[Calvin]

5409 as well to BP's Guy R Brewer Routes

[UTC Bus Roster]

4049: YUK to GA

*error, it was listed my apologies 

4049 went from FP to GA.

[East New York]

2 of the RTS' on the roster are no longer at WF Rick. They have been gone for a couple days, but I keep forgetting to sit down and check which one's were actually transferred.

 

As far as EC, 6081 is out of service and may be scrapped soon. 5198 broke down, and is now in the repair shop at EC.

 

Recap on pending moves now that the fleet review is over:

 

NG's to EC (which they are NOT happy about). MTA doesn't really want to do it because of the speeds that the bus travels. However the RTS solution was only temporary. The NG's will be tuned to travel at higher speeds as most are at MTA Bus company. Neither EN, FB, nor UP want them back at this point. This means LG will finally see some 1999's, and most if not all the 1996 buses will be retired by years end.

 

Furture moves will call for more 1999 Nova's, and 2004-05 OG's from TA to BC.

Does JFK and Far Rockaway still need buses from Spring Creek, and if so why? According to the roster, artics came in so doesn't that mean less room for 40 footers?

[GojiMet86]

That should be over now, it's probably outdated. But I wouldn't be surprised if it happens again.

Technically LGA has already seen them, back in 2013. But I will very happy to see them here, and I'm looking forward to seeing those OGs as well.

[R32 3838]

I think the 2004-2005 og's will go to bp and jfk while lga gets all the rts. Bp would probably trade their remaining 35/3600's to jfk or lga.

5388 at BP temporary.

[Rick44]

Got it all, didn't move 5388, and removed 6081 from EC since it's possibly pending scrap and currently OOS, from ENY.

 

Roster updated.

[Q43LTD]

 

That should be over now, it's probably outdated. But I wouldn't be surprised if it happens again.

Didn't JFK see them as well? I saw a 99 Nova on the Q6 once

[Rick44]

Yep, you remember well.

[T J Trainman]

JFK had 1999 Novas? Which #s?

[Far rockaway]

JFK had 1999 Novas? Which #s?

Nice shots! And I was taking about permanent assignments though.

[SevenEleven]

I'm confused here.... The Q110 doesn't have any assigned runs higher than 20. The only routes with a 22 and a 24 run are the Q111, Q113/114.

 

122, and 124 for the Q111, and 322, and 324 for the Q113/14. None of those 4 runs are interlined with the Q110.

Last pick, there was a 22/110

[East New York]

You know, I looked back earlier today and noticed not only do I have pics of 5398 on the run, I was on a 22! Lol I was going to mention it when I got in, and just just beat me to it. There are only 19 runs now. Looks like they got rid of 6 straight runs, leaving 2 and interlining the other 18.

5413 JFK to BP(Guy R Brewer Blvd)

[East New York]

I noticed that after I looked back at the pics I have on the 22. I didn't realize how much the runs changed for the pick..... I looked back again after you mentioned that and realized the runs were restructured in a way that they can optimize use of the artics on the 111/113/14. It appears to be pretty well thought out. I guess time will tell.

The following have been transfered from QV to CS, 4116, 4127, 4132, 4134, 4172, 4181, 4182, 4185, 4186, 4190, and 4194.  Also, the following were transfered from JAM to CS, 5016, 5150, 5154, 5167, and 5170. The RTSs are not in the usual storage spot. They are against the wall. 

[MHV9218]

The following have been transfered from QV to CS, 4116, 4127, 4132, 4134, 4172, 4181, 4182, 4185, 4186, 4190, and 4194.  Also, the following were transfered from JAM to CS, 5016, 5150, 5154, 5167, and 5170. The RTSs are not in the usual storage spot. They are against the wall. 

 

Worth noting that CS sent 6849, 6877-6878, 6885-6886, and 6895-6896 to QV. Most of them ran today. QV only had 6 RTSes on the road today.

 

9027 to JFK from Eastchester storage.

Umm.......... Thinking of how to reply here..........

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What the f'ing f is going on here? These are interesting moves. Is the fleet review or whatever its called doing a lot more than expected?

 

Oh and before I forget, I saw 5631 on the Bx19 while walking a friend home earlier. Not sure if its a transfer though as it had KB stickers.

Let's add #6845, #6862, #6880, #6888, #6893 to Queens Village. So between myself and "MHV9218", there's 12 6800s for QV and 11 4100s for CS. Maybe OGs to Queens Village and NGs to Casey Stengel swap? Wouldn't surprise me if this happened.
