Brillant93 Posted April 10, 2018 Share #1752 Posted April 10, 2018 I don’t think they’ve awarded the 53 buses for bus company yet. I recall that 108 is for TA and 53 is for bus company unless the 53 is coming from the 108. Correct me if I’m wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yesterday's press release reaffirms the award for NYCTA of 108 additional XD60's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the 108 was part of the current order for 2017-18, but I guess I was surprised. Now it makes sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, this order of 108 buses would possibly be a Manhattan/Brooklyn bus order. Since NFI parts are at ENY & Grand Avenue CMF and Queens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As @East New York has said in earlier posts, the MTA wants all SBS buses replaced with new ones in the new scheme with the WiFi and USB ports, and they are in the process of doing that now. He also said that they want to replace the 38 LFSA’s at Flatbush depot for B44 SBS service due to this demand. If he is right, we may see some of the XD60 buses there for B44 SBS service, but we will have to wait and see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what other depots would get the rest. I have a gut feeling the next lfsa order would replace the rest of the buses for GH and replace the M15 sbs fleet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the question is what would the L train shuttle buses use aside from the 96 New Flyer XD40 7755-7850 buses? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East New York Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share #1760 Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) Yes this order was already confirmed by me a month ago and placed on the first page of this thread. These are the options and I'm being told it's 98 diesel and 10 hybrids. I'm awaiting contract confirmation at this time. Please follow the first page guys. Many of the questions asked were posted there as mentioned. It was also mentioned that some of these buses are for EN, and possibly Flatbush. The XDE60's will be for Quill for the M14SBS.

Just as well, it's not in the electric nor hybrid-electric scheme By new electrics they're probably referring to the proterras and XE40s Edited April 23, 2018 by Orion6025 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's not a first. The Leyland Company gave 8 of them to NYCT in 1976, as a gifted for the United States bicentennial. They were assigned to the old 132nd Street Depot for use on the M4 and M5, and I rode them to/from junior high school. (They quickly fell into disrepair because the mostly Irish maintainers refused to touch English-made buses.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a wild story, crazy that those resentments were still so strong but I guess that was not long after some of the Northern Ireland events of the early-70s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not the first time actually about 10 years ago IIRC the MTA tested some Vanhool buses on the X17J before too. I've ridden these buses in Canada on Go Transit a couple of times. The buses are actually not that bad. While the headroom on the upper level isn't the best when sitting it's perfectly fine. The low floor portion has more headroom would easily be able to accommodate senior citizens and wheelchair users. The main disadvantage that these buses would suffer from is dwell time. However, over time, I believe people would get used to it. Riding the bus in Canada I ride it on route 12 which going a single way is usually around 1hr30min to 1hr45min. This route goes on really high and windy bridges and poorly maintained and narrow roads. Yet these buses actually hold up pretty well, I do expect that they would be able to survive NYC.

Several buses was painted in two tone blue, and to be used for the 5th-Mad Ave lines (Ms1-5), however, they forgot to measure the height to the 🚦, in which they knock off it respidue. So they got rid of them. The Second version was tested on the X17 & the BxM3, before MegaBus got their hands on them, and order a serious of them. Everybody now regrets that the MTA should’ve stuck with them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
