Calvin Posted January 2, 2020 Share #29476 Posted January 2, 2020 Soon, Woodhaven/Cross Bay Blvd SBS Q52/3: You will see a mixture of regular blue with aqua blue XD-60s in appearance as in even 6000s, their own 6200s as well as 5300s. Only the 6000s will have SBS showing on the front of the bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which fleet of the 6000’s are they (LGA) keeping. 6068-6092 (even)? and will the rest of the JFK fleet going down to Brooklyn or will that stay at JFK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really looking forward to seeing artics on the Q6 and or Q64. The Q64 does occasionally run artics but those are interlined runs I believe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we get another order, presumably for Artics, not just for MTA Bus, but for Transit as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted January 2, 2020 Share #29483 Posted January 2, 2020 All these artics being ordered, but they still somehow manage to maintain an all standard fleet during snowstorms. I don't get it. What's gonna happen when there's more artics than standards? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get it. What's gonna happen when there's more artics than standards? Most people don’t travel as much during snowstorms. So I’d assume they would be able to manage a bit. Besides the Bronx is artic land and they managed with artics for years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4P3607 Posted January 2, 2020 Share #29488 Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) Just waiting to see how many 2005 Orions remaining at ENY and FP are about to be sent to scrap in the next few days / weeks. I still didn't get a ride on 6490, and unfortunately don't think I'll be able to make time for a ride before it's gone.

You can't have two wraps on top of each other. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they peel off the aqua paint first and then repaint the bus dark blue? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just wrap the bottom part of the bus with the local scheme. The top of the bus above the window is blue paint, and the stripes is the wrap. The XD60s are painted on the top half of the bus with the SBS scheme painted on the bottom half, and the local wrap on top of the painted SBS scheme. So all of the MTA bus XD60s have the SBS scheme painted underneath the local wrap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
