MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[Future ENY OP]

On a side note, transfers will tend to get quite crazy over the next 24+ months.

 

Just giving everyone a heads up that when you start so see strange off the wall transfers, expect it.

Are we talking strange transfers from Staten Island to Brooklyn/Manhattan and possibly The Bronx to Brooklyn and vice versa with certain equipment.

 

Honestly, I really hope this LFSA and XD60 maintenance thing really works. I'm still a bit under the fence on how this will work effectively. A little more clarity needed and as always ENY. Thank You for the updates.

Noting that 6402 is back in service having been converted to a lead acid battery like the rest of the OG series. I'll check up on 6401's status.

Wait what!? Damn....

 

I saw 6401 last week on the M96, hopefully it doesnt get switched soon.

What's the difference between the lead acid batteries than the one the OG's used to have?

I think the Lithium Ion batteries give more power and in turn are supposed to last longer than the lead acid ones (which is why the lead acid NGs are in Manhattan now). I'm not 100 percent on that though.

So... the OG's are getting those instead of the lithium ion batteries?

 No. The buses that were mentioned above (6401 (well had) and 6402) have the Lithium batteries now. 6401 had its changed to the regular batteries you see on most of the OGs now.

Not sure if noted already, but 9667 is out of retirement. I shot it this evening on the B13.

I think it was noted a while back but yea, 9667 and 9457 were reactivated

Weird, right? Just saw it today, even has a sort of bootleg latch setup for the new covers to the lead acid. Gotta check it out more closely.

Other way round, 6402's got the regular ones.
