That appears to be the case. It's not registered as a Flatbush unit.

Copy. Copy.

Never thought the day would come. They did inherit a lot of lousy buses from elsewhere but their fleet was pretty great for a while.

But explain sending the rest of their 98's to FB. Those should of also went to the chop shop.

[T J Trainman]

I already gave up once MJQ decided to pull all of their 1998s O/S.

9467 was on the B24 a few hours ago.

With that in mind, I checked the pullouts and today 9467, 9471, and 9674 were all still present at GA. No evidence that 9519 or 9542 have left but they didn't run today.

Maybe they still have some life left in them according to maintenance dept.  Fewer road calls, fewer problems in between scheduled maintenance cycles.

Gotchu Bill. Thanks for the explanation.

 

How many RTS does Grand Avenue have left. Since buses from Yukon, Queens Village are making their way to Grand.

[T J Trainman]

Approx 12 1998s and about 6 1999s

[Future ENY OP]

Approx 12 1998s and about 6 1999s

 

Will those go to Flatbush and East New York respectively since we all know that Grand Avenue not trying to keep RTS or will those buses stay possibly in the meantime.

[T J Trainman]

I don't have an answer to that question, If I were to guess most likely to ENY or U.P.

[Calvin]

3591 is at LGA?

[Novabus 5000]

To answer any questions. The Current Grand Av RTS fleet is:

1999s - 4942, 4944, 4946, 4983, 4997, 5009 and 5059. 

 

1998s* - 9459, 9467, 9471, 9482, 9488, 9510, 9514, 9519, 9525, 9542, 9674, 9679, 9683, 9685, 9697.

 

* All of the 98s are listed as OOS right now and none are out. This is the same way the quill units went to scrap, so it is possible these buses are done. However not confirmed. 

 

 

3591 is at LGA?

 

Yes it is, but it has no GPS.

4049 is an NG. Perhaps you mean 5049, or maybe 4949?

[Novabus 5000]

Oops, meant 5059. Updated above

[UTC Bus Roster]

Oops, meant 5059. Updated above

5059 is a FLA bus (unless it recently been moved)

Also, where are 9440, 9512, 9694 & 9699? I have them at GA.

9699: Ulmer Park, the rest may be marked for scrap

[Daniel The Cool]

9467 ran earlier so that's definitely not OOS yet.

 

9448 at FB.

[Calvin]

Yes it is, but it has no GPS.

Thanks. (About 3591)

[Around the Horn]

Can anyone else confirm that the NG's on the S79 SBS have been pulled from service?

[Novabus 5000]

They are OOS due to electrical issues regarding the screens. Haven't been pulled from SBS all together.
