4136. Yes.  

4132  No. (That was always a Queens Division bus). My question was already answered this morning if you read the post correctly. But thanks tho. 

4132 was a Staten Island Division bus before it went to Queens.

Something made me think that it was originally an Staten Island Division bus before going to Queens.  Thank You for the correction. If my memory serves me correct. Yukon sent down 4132, 4136 to Queens, 4134, 4138, 4139 to Brooklyn, 4137 to Manhattan.

Yukon originally had #4092-4139, which sent #3852-3901 to Manhattanville and Flatbush (#3900-3901)

What's with all these buses heading to Queens. Is there a surplus in service for the Q44? Cuz I know Q12 is not close to artic ready and I would be surprised if I saw an artic going down Northern. 

Why didn’t they send them to Tuskegee Airmen Depot already? Aren’t buses 6030-6108 supposed to go there and get the D60HF buses out to retirement?

I'm confused as you are. However, this is the (MTA) for you. Things gets wacky with assignments before they go to actual destinations.

The Q52/53 may receive new articulateds for the next order moving the even units they have to other NYCT depots

I’m not sure about the next order going to the Woodhaven Blvd SBS routes, but moving the current buses they have is definitely the plan.

They're supposed to go to MTA Bus to bump off the other XD60s back to their original assignments.

That’s great, but why are buses 5987-5990 going to LG Depot, even thought they are intended to stay at CS? Were plans for the XD60 changed today?

Nothing is intended to stay anywhere. Swaps can happen for various reasons. This is likely a mileage swap happening, seeing as some of the lowest mileage XD60s made their way to CS.

Is there any chance that JFK will get extra XD60s for q52 sbs and q35 summer service?

I doubt it, they have 15 buses, 8 of which are used during the rush hour. With the spare factor they have, they can use those buses if there's a service increase for the Q52.

In that case, they would have 3 buses for spares left. I don’t think that is an acceptable spare factor.

That depends on if the Q52 even gets service increases, and by how much.

Even then they would still need to have a certain spare ration or else reliability problems with the buses occur.

Do you think that the not-yet-awarded 53 XD60 bus order for MTA Bus will even include more than enough buses for summer service increases?

That's not true.

LGA's spare factor with the XD60s is relatively low, between 3-5 buses, and they've been doing alright.
