I think QV’s fleet aged a bit better than Jamaica’s I highly doubt the 2011s at Jamaica can last till 2027-2029 so I’m unsure of how Jamaica can retire them since they won’t receive XE40s until 2027-2029 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Sith Posted May 6 Share #38829 Posted May 6 7 hours ago, xD4nn said: The ones that they received from the Bronx are really beat up and in poor condition. Many of them don’t sound right and there is one bus where the floor isn’t sealed properly and diesel fumes leak into the passenger compartment. If all of that is happening after the transfer, that's an issue with maintenance at QV and Jamaica, not at the fault of the buses themselves. There have also been instances where such things have happen before they even got those buses. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielhg121 Posted May 8 Share #38831 Posted May 8 Would it be possible for someone to update the Fleet and Depots first page? I know East New York doesn't utilize the forums anymore but the information there is out of date and if possible, just put stuff from the latest Capital Program on there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know where you were going with the list). Also, the pool of buses were already scattered before the 5300 series Xcelsiors came in so the list is not 100% accurate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielhg121 Posted May 11 Share #38846 Posted May 11 I think CP management has restricted the use of MCI’s on weekends to reduce the mileage on them. Just a hunch but every bus out around all 4 lines is a Prevost. Could just be a coincidence or they’re tired of having a breakdown and rushing to fill a run? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely coincidence as there are 4 of them out right now. Most of the time, drivers pick whatever's ready to go out first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
