Now, it's a matter of when they'll show up. 8 buses remain in the LFS order, 8504-8507, 8747, 8749, 8750 and 8754. Excellent. I look forward to them hitting the streets (especially those XE60s). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojiMet86 Posted August 22, 2019 Share #4227 Posted August 22, 2019 I was hoping they would be numbered in the 1300 and up. Guess that big space is going to the express buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted August 27, 2019 Share #4229 Posted August 27, 2019 The XD-40s that West Farms have may decrease as soon as the Bx35 hits its artic debut on September 1st. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For real? I thought they were going to stick around for the Bronx Redesign. Did they figure out the fleet and Depot assignments for both the Bx35 articulation and the Bronx Redesign? Also, with that September 1st artic launch date, did they test the artic buses to see if they will be able to handle not only 167th Street, but also Jennings Street and Bryant Avenue (since the route may go over there depending on how the redesign goes). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimategamer12c Posted August 27, 2019 Share #4235 Posted August 27, 2019 This was an artic on the Bx35 today in the morning it did 2 trips. But anyways on that I just wanna say that it was been noted that WFs wasn't gonna keep those XD40s for too long only for short period of time and it makes sense for them to get pushed out now due to the Bx35 articulation so I'm glad things are going back on track with this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can definitely see FP getting more this week from Grand while those 2005 old gens get retired it makes full since same thing for ENY although I could possibly see CS pushing them out to ENY even tho some is going to QV but I'm trying to make logical sense of this even tho it makes no sense but I'm just saying I said CS with giving ENY next gens because in my mind I dont think that would be enough for eny sense Next gens are going out the door from Grand and with them having 68 those are just aren't enough to hold down on pond or eny thata why I'm saying CS to help fill in on eny with the depart of OGs but who knows but it was a stupid thing of me to think of so idk but I will have to wait next week to see what transfer will happen next. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its great that the XD40 order is almost back on track with this, but I though that that the XD40s were going to stay a while to rush the retirement of older buses at the time? Why would the XD40s be pushed out of the depot for the Bx35 articulation. Wouldn't it make sense to push out some of the C40LFs there to Jackie Gleason to allow them to increase service on routes in Brooklyn? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make sense but WFs sent some XN60s to The B35 for the increase on that route for the summer so I'm pretty sure JG is good for now but who knows they could end up doing that. And I cant say much for the process on the XD40s at Farms as of now they are leaving the bronx (finally) and is going to anywhere at this point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they should send some buses over to Brooklyn to expand the fleet and increase service, although honestly, THIS was the fleet expansion I was hoping for: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_B8Hu1hRaZ4hjToejxvy-FDPlBGSxEn3k_sW1-Vfc64/edit?usp=sharing Also, did they/will they figure how the articulated buses are going to handle Jennings Street, Bryant Avenue, and West Farms Road for the Bx35 (eventually)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I do feel that this will cause some parking losses on Jennings Street, West Farms Road, and Bryant Avenue (the current Bx11 does not even serve Bryant Avenue). How many parking spots they may lose for the new section. Also, why are they having the route go artic now? Can’t they just wait until the redesign ones into effect to have all the changes occur at once? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t get what people are finding hard to understand. We need more 40 foot buses to replace older fleet, we have extra articulated buses, the Bx35 works best for having articulated buses. Therefore the Bx35 won’t use any more 40 foot buses and West Farms could lose a few to a depots that could use them more. It’s a win, win, win. 🏆 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally, the Bronx doesn’t use 2015 XD40’s, but last year they got a few loaned from Ulmer Park due to a snow warning (as you said).

That link you gave is pretty interesting I took a look it all though some depo's need fixing but other then that nice assumption. For the Bx35 thing yes they all ready figured it out to make artics run on the Route plus they removed some stops as well not to mention that 3 attics was on the Bx35 again today this time in the afternoon so WFs could be putting artics on that route all the way until the official date if I'm correct on this I'd wish the same for the B38 and Q12 but for the Q12 an artic was actually testing along flushing from what Ik so there getting ready same thing with Grand I've seen a XD60 test along tillary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Articulation of routes usually mean service cuts, so there will be less buses running on the line WF losing 40 footers means bad news during the winter season, which means they're gonna have to borrow more buses around that time So its more like a lose-lose scenario 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
