9574 was involved in a incident. This involves an shooting. Hopefully everyone was okay.

The incident was a minor injury to the hand of the bus driver and the teenager was also shot. Three shots were fired. One hit the window shield and another hit a part the protects drivers from being injured. The shooting came from the outside and the said aforementioned teenager was targeted. The case is gang related.

Many of the loaned NGs at Manhattanville now have Manhattanville stickers. I am currently aware of 4110, 4394, 4403, 4530 and 4559 having the stickers. 

3994 from FP has MHV Decals now as well, 4133 and a few other ENY units.

Small update: CS sent down 4472.  Apparently, 4473 went back and was spotted on the Q26 earlier today.  Also, 4411 went back to Flatbush and was seen on the B46. 

4126 and 4127 are the latest additions to Manhattanville.

It's funny, I wonder if they had to send exclusively NGs since the B/Os weren't trained on much else. You'd think an LFS would work as well as an LFS HEV, but...

Nah it’s the community agreement for Manhattanville. Their buses have to be hybrids. (I know, they had RTS’s in the past)

Every operator should be trained on the Novas and Xcelsiors. Or at least the new ones are.

The community needs to change that rule because just like this current situation just imagine this happens again and the NGs are scrapped like what else are you giving Manhattanville

Oh word, I forgot about that, I forget that goes back fifteen years or so. I'm trying to remember, I guess during snow loans it was all hybrids for MV, and they sent the diesels to MJQ. Last diesels were probably the RTSes you mention (what was that...2018? 2019?) and the QV LFSes that showed up on a weekday tripper a couple times even earlier.

I'd imagine by the time the NGs are getting scrapped in the masses the LFS hybrids teething issues will be sorted out by then so their will be no need to send NGs from other depots to MTV.

 

 

I don't think we have Grumman buses in the 80s situation here. I will admit I've been following new bus orders since the NGs came in and this is the first time I seen them sideline an entire fleet after the buses started service.

6757 was out today on the M7 and I just missed it by a hare. F***.

I wanted to get my (potentially) last old-gen ride in 'fore they're gone forever..... Try again another day, hey

Queens still has a lot of OGs, just catch a ride on the Q22 or Q35 you'd have like an 95 percent chance of catching an OG.

Hybrids. Simple.

Eventually, electrics.
