Calvin Posted April 9 Share #38753 Posted April 9 The M1 has a slight signage change at Soho. It used to have Grand St on the bottom with Soho. Recently, it's bottom destination is Centre St instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted April 11 Share #38761 Posted April 11 LaGuardia Depot is almost finished with the XD-40 order as 9301 and 9302 is at the vendor. Also, Nova LFS 9179 is there so, they might see LFS service soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aemoreira81 Posted April 11 Share #38762 Posted April 11 I have to wonder if there is a reason why E450-based cutaways aren’t ordered by the MTA, especially for Hudson RailLink and some Staten Island Division routes, like the S42, S54, S55, S56, and S57. Those routes, outside of school trips, are among the lowest ridership routes in the system (the SI routes). (I also wonder if the Bronx could use it for the Bx24, Bx29, and Bx46, given that the Bx29 no longer serves Bay Plaza…moving the Bx46 to Gun Hill via a Bruckner deadhead.) This would be about a 50-60 bus fleet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be about a 50-60 bus fleet. This is just my belief but I think the MTA doesn’t order mini buses due to the flexibility that running standard sized buses offer. The Bx46 could get away with the smaller buses but what happens if West Farms is short on standards and artics for the Bx6 but all they have are these mini buses ready to go? There are only a few routes that get low ridership so I don’t think having 50-60 mini buses in the entire system are worth it. NICE Bus pulls that nonsense from time to time where you’ll see a mini bus on the n6 or n22 but that wouldn’t cut it in NYC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some small cutaways might work on one route and not another. You could have it so that the bus stays on one route while the drivers do reliefs but that’s not always possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopybutt123 Posted April 11 Share #38765 Posted April 11 @SevenEleven Is 4140, 4202 scrap? Someone spotted them without fareboxes tho 4140 ran a day ago and 4202 ran 3 days ago. Do you have any information? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now, they may not go to other MTA Bus depots due to more XD-40s and LFS arriving recently. Edited April 13 by Calvin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
