If you type up BusTalk U.S on google you should find a site that has pictures of buses from multiple transit agencies including the MTA. There are a lot of vintage photos on the site which I find very neat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the time, drivers pick whatever's ready to go out first. That or the yard dispatcher changed shifts and this one is more lax. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol wow I was about to say. I know 4895 has been riding around with “MTA Bus” decals for a few years, but with all the new buses coming in I was like why would JFK/Far Rock get 2011 XD40s. Plus were there a few LFS’s in the MTA Bus order that haven’t been assigned to a depot? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, unless that bus was being used for training or was in the middle of a short-turn maneuver/deadhead, I don't know why it would be in that position at that specific intersection. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted May 12 Share #38868 Posted May 12 (edited) I wonder how ENY got back 6 Next Gen units that were at Casey Stengel a while back. At first, I thought they would be at either Fresh Pond or Flatbush since they still have over 10 units at their depots. Otherwise, it'll be fully New Flyers like Grand Av Depot.

I also found that to be a little odd. It's weird how those six buses didn't go to Flatbush or Fresh Pond in exchange for XD40s to East New York. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think they should’ve went to MTA Bus while they had the chance too. That’s too late now, I would’ve sent all the units to JFK when they still had Old Gens or 4200-4201 to LaGuardia to shift out 3594 and 3736 then. 4212 and 4203 from CS > FP should’ve also went to MTA Bus mainly for JFK.

Well you’re forgetting that FP had to give up some units to BP, so with that FP needed busss back, so in recent news it made sense for CS to give FP buses back in return after the lost of their buses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 2, they did a mini swap back then. 3992 and 3995, basically wiped out all the 3900s out of NYCT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
