Around the Horn Posted August 1, 2019 Share #4131 Posted August 1, 2019 Just a random thought I had and I guess this is a question for the industry folks here: Would the new express bus order be delivered faster if they were normal D4500s instead of the D45CRTLEs? Like is there a time penalty for going with the new technology? Would it be in the MTA's best interest to possibly spilt the order and have the first 100 buses be D4500CTs than the new CRT LE especially if the green sign MCIs start crapping out soon? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truthfully has a 6 year procurement with MCI to build D4500CT’s. Right now they are on year 4. Procurement ends in 2021/2022. TA doing things backwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be completely honest, I rather they take their time with those buses instead of rushing them. The 2012s-2013s were sort of rushed in comparison to the 2008s, even with all of the faults with the exhaust. Considering that the contract has yet to be officially awarded....anything is possible. Personally, I prefer an MCI over a Prevost. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely I totally agree with this assessment. Right now the way things are most of this order is almost done. Delivery has been rather slow. However, we’ll see how delivery commences within the next few weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So B46 SBS Articulation this Fall seems like a clear No. Speaking of "this fall", it should be either late August or September(especially when MJQ gets their XE60s to give back FB's XD60s). The B46 +SBS stops seemed to finish their rebuilts within 97% along the Utica to Malcolm X Blvd corridor. And we had #6103 tested along the B46 +SBS(depicted by Metro Railfan on YT), the day after B82 +SBS had #6138 clearance tested along that route. And speaking of "XE60", there was a NFI worker(Matt N) who commented on my XE60 demo vid saying that they are currently finishing up the process of building the XE60 lead unit for us in NYC.

THANK YOU. if children could read, it would make this place flow so much simpler. ONLY the B38, Q12 & Bx35 are being converted. NOT THE 46SBS. no possibility of that for the fall. winter pick 2020 means that when the system pick beings in January 2020, it's highly PROBABLE that the 46sbs will see artics. even that's not guaranteed. jeez. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the 46 +SBS articulation may start before fall, and may still use the amount of XD60s they have because of the LFSAs coming back by MCH. My dude, you just wanna be the first one out there when it becomes artic right? Wait until Winter, and maybe it’ll become artic, and like FlatbushLarry said, even that’s not guaranteed, so just wait within the year of 2020, for now, we are only confirmed for 3 routes, so do me a favor, and WAIT. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
