I'm really glad to see that they're going this route, I was never convinced that the MTA could have a 100% electric fleet solely relying on battery electric buses. I hope hearing this news Nova Bus and other companies start working on and releasing their versions of hydrogen buses soon.

Extra information on depots: Some routes have school trippers at a selected depot, this is a list to clarify. 

Casey Stengel -> Q17, Q27, Q88

Queens Village -> Q20A, Q31, Q76

Michael J Quill, the Manhattan borough has one depot and route: M11

Ulmer Park -> B4 and B9 

Castleton -> S44, S57, S62, S74, S78 ....   Charleston -> S59 .... Yukon -> S55, S56, S74, S78

Surprised GH got choosen for the hydrogen buses. Considering their New Flyers I thought they would go to a depot like Grand Ave or Quill. Well it's nice that New Flyers will be running on GH & KB routes again (KB is getting XE60s in the future IIRC).

I might be wrong about KB getting XE60s, can't find a source mentioning this, only 60 XE40s on order that have yet to be assigned to an depot. 

 

 

Don't know where I got XE60s to KB from, facepalm lol. I did see an XE60 in Washington Heights on Broadway a couple days ago NIS, don't know why an Quill bus would be that far north.

I've never seen a school supplement for Ulmer Park on the B49 and if there's one on the 49 how far does it go? I currently live in Sheepshead Bay along the 49 route and I've never seen a Ulmer Park bus in revenue service on the 49.

The other 3 routes are correct.

IIRC, it happened a very long time. I saw 4878 (reflecting on memory) on the B49. The tripper started from Manhattan Beach ending up to Foster Av/Flatbush Av. It was then a deadhead to the B6 starting at Avenue J and Coney Island Av to Rockaway Park Station. 

 Previous school trippers from 2014

I know that one of the XEs ran on the (A) shuttle a few days ago, that might be why.

I was referring to like 2009 or something 

Yeah in the 2010s. Jamaica had the Q20, Q44 and Q76 trippers. CS had the Q17, Q27, Q58 & Q88 trippers, QV has the Q31 and I THINK the Q1 from Martin Van Buren.

It has changed over time, QV also used to have the Q20, Q44 and Q76 trippers.
