Grand Concourse Posted December 18, 2013 Share #10252 Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) So with the 40' order confirmed, is it reasonable to speculate what numbers they will use? Theres the 700-1000s (more when the artics are retired) and the 9700-9900s (by then i'd guess the last o5 cng will be retired before then). And i guess the 8000s since they are done with almost all the 8800s. Edited December 18, 2013 by Grand Concourse 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted December 18, 2013 Share #10253 Posted December 18, 2013 That's the thing, ENY doesn't have NG's...they don't but they did borrow some ngs from fb some months or years ago for some reason. I dunno if it was because they were short some buses (and if they were, why not take some rtss instead) i have no idea what the reason was other than the buses were returned back eventually. And not that it matters, but erica, can u explain why the down vote? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenEleven Posted December 18, 2013 Share #10254 Posted December 18, 2013 thats not true There is a video on youtube of the new 2013 MCI and towards the end the person who was filming the video switched the sign to m57 which was clearly not in the same depot as that bus whose sign got switched Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk now Free When changing using the farebox, you can only input routes in the same boro. There's no limits if you use the sign controller (ODK) as Orion VII pointed out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTA Bus Posted December 19, 2013 Share #10258 Posted December 19, 2013 Gun Hill must have some kind of bus shortage if they are borrowing LFSs and Orion VII OGs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E For Erica Posted December 19, 2013 Share #10259 Posted December 19, 2013 Question, if I stay in Bed Stuy (On Lafayette) & I was a B/O then which depot would be closer for me to work at? East New York or Fresh Pond? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted December 19, 2013 Share #10261 Posted December 19, 2013 Whats good with MCH depot? Current issue is whether it's a TA or OA enterprise, or a combination, or some bullshit. Everything I'm hearing is that it'll be open by the summer. 126 closing, that's up too, some drama over the whole burial ground thing there as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted December 19, 2013 Share #10263 Posted December 19, 2013 Never riding the B49...there's always another option...worst route out there....by far... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E For Erica Posted December 19, 2013 Share #10264 Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) Don't know about closer (in terms of distance), but getting to FP would be less of a hassle... Yeah because I'm by the B38 in Brooklyn so a B/O on the limited would probably take me past the last stop so I can get there. Instead of walking to fulton for the B25 or or to Bway Junction. But I wanna work at ENY more because of the fleet, but the routes and areas and everything else.. idkk :/ A part of me would rather stay pushing Next Gens on the Q58 & stay out of the hood. But then again those XD40s at ENY... Edited December 19, 2013 by E For Erica 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted December 19, 2013 Share #10266 Posted December 19, 2013 Now that im thinking about it...the reason why CH got those 3Gs is so send their hybrids to get repainted...they would be short if they sent buses...so they borrowed 3Gs from CAS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was already explained as to why they got them already, primarily for the overnight runs since an operator got attacked.

Probably the hybrids are being overhauled so Gun Hill had to borrow buses elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
