That I have no idea about. I would guess they're out for receiving schedules repaints/overhauls etc..... Maybe ciboii22 might be able to shed some light on that.

XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted July 18, 2013 Share #7956 Posted July 18, 2013 All those buses that are OOS at Gleason received their overhauls already... so it's definitely something different 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mta B43 Posted July 18, 2013 Share #7957 Posted July 18, 2013 A friend said they're actually getting recalled for scrap due to the closure of Orion and MTA had an option for Daimler and Crystler to support the O7 CNGs and the other choice is to scrap them, that's what I was told but I'm definetly leaning towards the fact that they are getting repowered cuz they're all repainted and they might as well repower the repainted ones first, that's my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's safe to assume that as the buses aren't all that old to be retired. Besides, where are the replacements coming from? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted July 18, 2013 Share #7961 Posted July 18, 2013 Saw the old c40lf twice yesterday on the b9. I dunno if it was the same one (saw early in the morning and early at night). But i guess it's a matter of time till it is totally gone. Either way it was pretty neat as i didn't even go out to look for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YankeesPwnMets Posted July 18, 2013 Share #7963 Posted July 18, 2013 I remember I asked why Orions weren't on the M66 or M72 a few months ago, well I found a codebroken Orion with the M66 program 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mta B43 Posted July 18, 2013 Share #7964 Posted July 18, 2013 9871 is on the Q69 now, 9849 and 9889 are both on the Q39 now and 9836 was on Q49. Also I saw all Bees in service today: 111 on the Q39, 117 on the Q100, 133 yes, 133 on the Q23 lol, 158 NIS, 164 on the Q69. Also very sad news: 101 is now OOS with the word B A D written on the window with either E/C or O/S next to it, supposed to be towed to EC next week also since tomorrow the two LGA routes will go to CP that will leave 16 extra buses to spare so tomorrow might be the last day of service for the Orion V CNG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-CT1660- Posted July 18, 2013 Share #7966 Posted July 18, 2013 Fall pick won't start until sometime during September... And let's just say there's a dramatically high number of buses OOS at LGA which made loaning the C40LF's and transferring some 5000's a necessary evil as the 7 V CNG's LGA has isn't enough... If everything goes as planned, the QM24/25 goes to CP and then you *may* start seeing D60's going to LGA during the next pick.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the B/Os that do the QM24/QM25 won't like that unless they're planning on moving to CP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted July 18, 2013 Share #7968 Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Have no idea what's going on at FR/JFK... but there are JFK buses all over the FR routes, RTS and Nextgens everywhere (just got off 4645 on the Q35 a little bit ago, there was an RTS before it). Not only that, but I saw 3 FR buses on the Q41 (a 3700 and a few 3500s). The hell is going on? Are they helping each other out or...? When I saw RTS and NGs on the 52 I was thinking it's just JFK helping out because of the extra beach crowds (they did on July 4th weekend as well) but after seeing FR buses running the 41 I had no clue what was going on, and still don't. Not posting in the transfer thread yet since I have absolutely no idea if these are actual moves or what.

That can't be happening tomorrow, the fall pick is in September.....the only moves in the works are the QM24/QM25 to CP.....and another set of moves in the works which is currently unconfirmed.

mta B43 Posted July 19, 2013 Share #7971 Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) From what I heard of, it's supposed to happen tomorrow due to LGAs shortage, that's why some of SCs C40s went to CP, so they can have enough buses for the extra routes Edited July 19, 2013 by mta B43 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me if it was just taking whatever was ready to run. Has anyone seen an artic on the Q35 again? I only saw it that once in early June and haven't seen one since.

Has anyone seen an artic on the Q35 again? I only saw it that once in early June and haven't seen one since. Well the artics are gone from Far Rock, all I saw out on the FR routes were RTS OGs and NGs, definitely looked like the majority of the buses out were JFK's though. Guess if JFK is helping out they could send an artic out if they wanted to, hell even a C40 if they're still getting those. From what I heard of, it's supposed to happen tomorrow due to LGAs shortage, that's why some of SCs C40s went to CP, so they can have enough buses for the extra routes It's the Q29 and Q72 I haven't heard anything and neither has anyone I know (people who would definitely know if it was happening)... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP also junked a few Orion V CNGs + has a couple on the OOS list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
