Kingsbridgeviewer382 Posted October 25, 2013 Share #9653 Posted October 25, 2013 just wondering, isn't 9566 and 9661 based out of Jamaica Depot before b/c now I see 2 of them on the Q27 today back at QV and it was transferred to Jamaica Nope. Both have been with QV for years although 9661 was a Flatbush bus at one point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Culver Posted October 26, 2013 Share #9656 Posted October 26, 2013 The announcement will be when they award whoever the 40 footer contract to. It's the end of October already. Are they waiting for the Orion Vs and oldest RTS to fall to pieces? Some of those buses are damn near done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyer 230 Posted October 26, 2013 Share #9657 Posted October 26, 2013 It's the end of October already. Are they waiting for the Orion Vs and oldest RTS to fall to pieces? Some of those buses are damn near done.Then there will be a major shortage, I heard that some of the Orion V's are suffering from frame rot especially some of those ex Staten Island units. The Orion's that CS sent were in good condition and the other CS originals were sent to ECH. ECH is the only depot that has never received a new bus except the express buses in 2005 and 2006 so I wonder what will go there when the Orion's retire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo19 Posted October 26, 2013 Share #9658 Posted October 26, 2013 I'd expect some new buses to hit Staten Island when the Orion V's leave, to balance the average fleet age. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 6000's at ECH from Stengel are Bronx originals. ECH will just get any other old bus once the O5's retire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevenEleven Posted October 26, 2013 Share #9662 Posted October 26, 2013 It's been a while so I thought both the LFS and New Flyer XD40 failed and that's why they were testing that BYD bus in Manhattan. Nah, BYD is touring around the country to demonstrate the bus. It's the end of October already. Are they waiting for the Orion Vs and oldest RTS to fall to pieces? Some of those buses are damn near done. I think the award got pushed back to 2014. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted October 26, 2013 Share #9663 Posted October 26, 2013 There's a few C40s that run on the Q53 every day...I see one every morning On top of that an Artic runs on the Q11 during the rush hours every weekday... Not surprising for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember the last time I saw an RTS on the Q54 lol. And it would be nice to see those RTS's instead of those 9300-9600s.

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted October 27, 2013 Share #9672 Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) Wait when did FP get Xcelsiors? I want to see them on the Q58. They didn't... I'd expect some new buses to hit Staten Island when the Orion V's leave, to balance the average fleet age. Yes, let's give them some more new buses to destroy... I like your way of thinking.

It would happen mainly to balance an average fleet age. Besides, you and I both know we rarely see eye to eye. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
