Wouldn't this cause a shortage? Buses are on the way from upstate. Right now it all depends on the delivery schedule. I could be wrong but I think it’s 3-4 buses being brought in daily. (Clarification needed please mods or other personnel). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I checked those 2 buses were operating on Gun Hill and Yukon lines today. Unless they got the call from console that they had to return back to depot.

Quill still has 5285-5298, 5300-5301, 5977, 5980 and maybe a few more unwrapped 2012 LFSA that can be moved up to Farms as thy get displaced by the 2019 XD60s being delivered. And if they'd rather just move those 2016-2017 XD60s to flatbush instead, then there are 19 2012-2013 LFSA at flatbush waiting to be moved up to West farms. Furthermore Hale will be unwrapping 2010-2012 LFSA shortly whenever they start getting XD60s (and whenever they put 6128 in service..) so west farms can get LFSA through that avenue too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted April 25, 2019 Share #3638 Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) 7326 out of FLA has Wi Fi and I assume the other blue and white XD40s has Wi Fi as well. Ignoring LBSS, paint schemes and all that other stuff the other XD40s have the same comforts the ones on the SBS 46 do minus the USB ports... Which I would imagine these buses would eventually get refitted with. Much older express buses got refitted with USB ports.

That's what I'm saying....those buses were literally in the process of being delivered when the new scheme came out. They should get upgraded for their 4 year overhauls. 7090-7483 and 8090-8503 definitely should get the new scheme and USB ports...MTA needs to stop wasting time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to stop retrofitting older buses with newer amentities. The new ones being delivered, however, should feature the newest technology. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted April 26, 2019 Share #3642 Posted April 26, 2019 Wouldn't it be easier to send some of the delivered 7800s to Flatbush Depot? (Just wondering this, as LFS units are coming in slowly, the XD-40s are quick) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteriousBtrain Posted April 26, 2019 Share #3646 Posted April 26, 2019 Reminder that 6234 is currently assigned for local service.

Cait Sith Posted April 26, 2019 Share #3650 Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) Word is that Flatbush's batch has been temporarily cut by 7 more buses to 29 because they need extra buses for the M14 SBS. Once the 15 XE60s show up, those buses will end up back at Flatbush. This largely sounds like a temporary assignment. I have a theory that Flatbush might get JFK's 6100s if they start the deliveries of the MTA Bus batch.
