MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[limitednyc]

Why the OH and OF abbreviations? i've been meaning to ask that.  All of the others make sense for the most part.

oh =100 st, of =146 st the original depot names.

[Via Garibaldi 8]

OH=One hundredth (Tuskegee)

OF=One hundred Forty-sixth (Hale)

They are former names and the street the depots lay on.

I see.  Wondering why those didn't change with the new depot names? When the Coliseum closed, they didn't keep that old abbreviation.  Switched to WF for West Farms Depot...

I think it was at ENY prior. I rode it on the B42 last month.

You must of confused it with another unit as 4983 was still at West Farms for over a year.

8119 is still at ENY.

[JFK Depot]

8119 is still at ENY.

ENY still has about 7-8 LFS's left that have to be transferred over to Jamaica

Once Jamaica can find a place for the NGs they have left over

And ENY gets more RTS in... then the rest of the LFS will come to Queens

I thought Jamaica's NGs were going either Queens Village or Stengel. Unless those buses could be heading Manhattan bound? But again, this is the . You see weird buses in weird places.

Ummm....

[Jsunflyguy]

Just saw a 15 NYCT/MTA buses going over the Throgs Neck Bridge in a convoy at 20mph. They were headed South into Queens, Anyone have any info on that?

 

Probably related, I see the term "Snow loan" on this page; which I don't quite understand since my knowledge of Bus operations is very limited. Why are these snow loans done and which depots are usually loaning out?
