There's a flying saucer in Zerega too. This order is going to be interesting. 

While I get the intention, this thread is not the place for jokes.

What new buses is MTA Getting ?

[aemoreira81]

Curious: will the B82 SBS be sourced initially from the existing ENY fleet, or will it be with the next XD40s or XDE40s coming in?

There is a bus 9503 at JFK Building 141 in the new livery for the MTA, looks like an articulated.

Is there a picture of the new bus 9503 or 141?

[aemoreira81]

I couldn't get it...and I saw that someone said it was a hybrid and modified my post to ask where the B82 SBS fleet will be sourced...existing fleet or new buses?

Fleet and depot thread on the first page it says it would start off with 40 footers XD40s. The XDEs are going to grand avenue.

Thursday, I was driving behind 5486 on the N.Y.S. Thruway going south from Albany to New Brunswick, NJ. What was interesting was the fact that I saw 2 New Artics which had no side numbers on them going Northbound on the Thruway. I saw those 2 around Exit 18.

Same model as 5486 or not?

[Autocar]

Yes, both were New Flyers and same new paint scheme.

5486 is a LFSA Model. 

You may be referring to 7486 and 7487 which are New Flyers XD40. That was also on the New York Stare Thruway yesterday. I was in the same area yesterday coming from Newburgh/Poughkeepsie- Exit 18. 

Theres a New Flyer Plant in Jamestown, New York which is west from New York City via Rte 17/I-86 to 90/390 on the NYS Thruway Western Spur.

Those 2 buses were previously at GH or KB before transferred to MHV?. Also, what's with MHV getting rid of the 44xx buses?  Service levels low? 

[Autocar]

My error in the Brand name, But the bus I was behind was Artic 5486 and the 2 Artics going in the opposite direction were also Artics, same model.
