That's a few years back as well. Awww man, 4260 was one of the first buses I drove on the 79. Good times. 2882 still had its QV sticker when it left Castle for Yukon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They either left QV in 2008 or 2009....I think half of that batch went to Ulmer Park and the other went to Yukon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Valiant Posted October 30, 2020 Share #32354 Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) I’ve been seeing a handful of 2012/13 XD60s on the B38 with exposed Gun Hill decals. They’re also 2007 Orions at Queens Village with Casey Stengel decals that are visible. Seems like the logos peel off faster when they don’t remove the logo underneath.

Iron Valiant Posted October 30, 2020 Share #32355 Posted October 30, 2020 Back when 4096 was assigned to Grand, they did not align the logo properly and the Gun Hill sticker was very noticeable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted October 30, 2020 Share #32356 Posted October 30, 2020 6707 had an Amsterdam sticker for the longest until it got repainted. 6659 had an MCH sticker for ages, which was funny since the bus was never at MCH, just did a little press event for the opening there. Manhattanville is famously slow when it comes to stickers. Of all the RTS loaners over the years post-2010, it was only 5064 that ever got a sticker. And some of those buses (like 9574) were there for months. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The primary focus is always making service. Everything else is secondary. I'd rather have a clean bus than some sticker.

Lawrence St Posted October 30, 2020 Share #32359 Posted October 30, 2020 Whats up with the local artics on the Q52/53 recently? I barely see SBS XD60's on the line anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I barely see SBS XD60's on the line anymore. The SBS scheme was ditched for the 6200s at LaGuardia and JFK (although it was given to the Xcelsiors on the Q70). JFK doesn’t have any of the older Xcelsiors and Laguardia has 13 of them left. Edited October 30, 2020 by Kingsbridgeviewer382 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BX39/BX41, the Bx15 used to be like that at one point I believe. 1 hour ago, Around the Horn said: I totally forgot the B9 has Ulmer pieces on it nowadays...

Calvin Posted October 31, 2020 Share #32369 Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) With 2 NGs that left Hale to MHV, 4272 and 4276.

It was not a late night component. This was around 10pm at night and it went down to Clasons Point and back to Wakefield. I know because I was on that bus; I got on it on Morris Park Avenue heading down. If it was a late night component, it would have ended at Gun Hill Road and turn back into a Bx41. I know that there were missing buses on the Bx39 because not that many buses were appearing on BusTime. That’s probably was the case why 1265 was running on the Bx39.
