I thought they were going to get some of the buses from Castleton, since they already got some new buses to make service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Future ENY OP Posted August 30, 2019 Share #4259 Posted August 30, 2019 Question: The XD60’s sent to Gleason. Are those for training, revenue service and or Maintenance? So far they have 5 from Grand Avenue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the previous posts it appears that The Bronx is keeping a few XD60’s? 1 hour ago, JeremiahC99 said: But why JG? Don’t they have like three central maintenance facilities to do the work? Isn’t GA one of them? GA-ENY-ZEREGA (CMF’s). However, Gleason has plenty of storage room out of all the depots in the Brooklyn Division. So if they are doing some of the work there it technically makes sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also believe at one point CP fixed RTS’s and they only use CNG buses for their local/limited service. I just find it hilarious that when a decent amount of buses are being transferred from Staten Island and the Bronx, they usually have to be fixed up. I wouldn’t be surprised if those 2013 XD60’s that CS just received from The Bronx are in the shop right now getting repaired. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerega, ENY & Grand Avenue must have their hands full, so the next logical choice is to seek assistance from yards that may have not hit a overtime threshold as yet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aemoreira81 Posted August 31, 2019 Share #4273 Posted August 31, 2019 I know that this is looking a bit down the line, but would the MTA ever consider articulation joint replacements at mid-life rehab to extend the life of the current articulated bus fleet to 17-18 years? Keep in mind that bus 1200 is already 10 years old. (The XN60 fleet is likely tank-limited to 20 years, and so that should take an XN60 to close to tank expiration.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very missing leading info as you can’t register a vehicle with out a VIN commercial vehicle are not exempt either. so even being at the vendor which was stated would mean they are built already?? Unless we have ghost buses. I don’t care just stating the obvious overcompensate of egos on here with lack of real information. You are winging it just like the foamers you consistently try to attack for asking questions or making opinions.
