Lil 57 Posted March 31, 2019 Share #26501 Posted March 31, 2019 Today I managed to get on an unusual S74 trip. Today I had to get to Rossville Ave so I took the SIM4C to Aen Ave to transfer to the S74. I missed one that was left around 10 minutes ago and the next one was 16 minutes away. I decided to walk the 15 minutes to Rossville Ave, however, while I was walking, A Yukon bus (4245) that was parked at the ETC when I passed there on the SIM4C passed by. I managed to get on it and took it a few stops to Rossville Ave. There was no gap in Bricktown Bound buses so I don't know why this short trip from the ETC to Bricktown happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted March 31, 2019 Share #26502 Posted March 31, 2019 I get that all good things must come to an eventual end, but at the same time, it's still saddening that it's gotten down to counting how many RTS' are still chugging along 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coney Island Av Posted March 31, 2019 Share #26505 Posted March 31, 2019 You know, the only thing the MTA was correct about the RTS was ENY losing it's remaining RTS by the end of the month. However, there's a catch. They only retired about 3-6 RTS out of Flatbush instead of a dozen like they promised by the end of March (which is today). So they lied on that note. In fact, there were several RTS out on the B41, B44, and B46 this weekend, which should signify that they have a lot more life in them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think some random resident or politician has the time to go to a depot and count EVERY old bus down there? Of course something like this was bound to happen and honestly it's not that big a deal. The only thing people care about is if the RTS are gone by May 10th. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, in the situation of Flatbush there aren’t any replacements. They are down to 42 RTS. If FB scraps all of their buses in the likely hood very soon. They have no choice to get NG’s from Grand Avenue or from Yukon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I go through each Depot double checking stuff that's retired, various movements, double and triple checking various information aside from physically typing out the wiki. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV184 Posted April 3, 2019 Share #26521 Posted April 3, 2019 So I was wondering this for a while but why is Manhattanville retiring their Orion VII Gen I if the nova lfs haven't hit the Island yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted April 3, 2019 Share #26522 Posted April 3, 2019 So 5503 is making an appearance on the M35 tonight. But I'm pretty sure almost nobody thought M35 SBS was finished. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4P3607 Posted April 4, 2019 Share #26524 Posted April 4, 2019 Why did 145 (Orion VII CNG originally numbered 7685) stick around for much longer than the rest of those buses and get renumbered, despite the rest of them being retired in near consecutive order? Were the tanks on this unit renewed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume it was one of those buses that arrived after the delivery of the Orion VII CNGs so it's about equivalent to if there was a bus numbered 7820. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
