MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

Storage units for the summer.

Yep. Since summer schedules don't require as much buses on the road, the buses that can't fit in the depot are sent to Stengel. Of course the units can be taken back to Jamaica in case of a sudden shortage.

[danielhg121]

Will they be used on any of the Stengel routes?

Aren't they rebuilding Jamaica Depot?

.... and just like that Gun Hill is receiving an influx of buses.

[danielhg121]

Probably not, Gun Hill is short on buses.

Does anyone know the date when the Bx-6 SBS is scheduled to start?

721 new to WF with Select Bus wrap

I thought they were going to use the XN60 fleet coming in to the Coliseum (now West Farms) and Fifth Avenue (now Jackie Gleason) depots for the Bx6 +Select Bus route. I wonder if there was a sudden change in plans that necessitated 721 getting wrapped. I do not really know if it would be like what happened with the M34 and M16 (now M34A) from the Westside (now Michael J. Quill) Depot when they became +Select routes and fitted with the Next Generation Orion VII buses first before they got the NovaBus LFS Articulated Buses.

The XN60 pilots are due in September, the rapping of some xn40s is probably temporary until the main order of xn60s arrive.

Remember: you do have Bx15, Bx19 as articulated buses routes, they wanna convert the Bx36 into an all artic route as well. Back in 1999, KB tried using an artic on the Bx36 and it failed. But, when WF did it in the mid 2000s, it did wonders. So they use one per peak hour operation.

There have been occasions where more than one artic ran the Bx36 during the rush.

There's always more than one articulated unit on the 36 every rush hour, not just on some occasions.
