6543 is on loan to Baisley again

Intersting thing is these loans go back and forth. Last week 6545 was on a Baisley route. The next morning it was apparently on the Q37, and then later that day it was on the Q64

Side note is last night I got 3782, the hybrid that broke down in the Queens-Midtown tunnel on the QM4, that bus sounded terrible. It was making a noise similar to a fan belt screech. The hybrids have not been doing that well, and it doesn’t help that they’re being run constantly. They’re having the problem that west farms had where their buses keep breaking down and they can’t catch up in maintence. 

6543 and 6545 actually haven't left since they were reported. 

And 3782 on the QM4???????? Don't forget ALL the OG hybrids are over the 12 year service life limit. They are actually doing better than expected seeing as they are not optimized for the higher average speeds of Queens.

I'm guessing it made it to 100th and rather than unwrap it was diverted to OF. The plan is fewer 5850s in SBS livery at the end of the day.

Seriously. Those 1200’s from MCH need to go. Those buses have seen so much mileage it’s not even funny. Only 1233 made it to Brooklyn and back to MCH.. The rest stayed in Manhattan since the transfer from 126th.  Just only wished that depot (126th) didn’t close at least to deal with the overcrowding in the Manhattan Division.

If not for the burial of slaves that the MTA found out about before opening of OF a few years back

Not as much mileage as the ones in The Bronx.
