XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted April 7, 2016 Share #676 Posted April 7, 2016 23 buses in the new colors will go into service over the next 3 weeks. 5364, and 5375 are wrapped, with 5390 next. The official MTA year designations for new buses are as follows. New Flyer 2014 7090-7109 2015 7110-7482 NovaBus 2015 8090-8503 (Original pilots 8090-8093 were 2014 models which were rejected and sold off to other agencies) Prevost 2014 2490-2491 2015 2592-2606 2016 2607-2789 Wow so they received a brand new 8090-8093?

The TransitMan Posted April 8, 2016 Share #687 Posted April 8, 2016 Yes, that is the schedule ENY posted a while back. We still don't have assignments though. The D.O.B. probably doesn't even know themselves. I just hope GA doesn't get more XD40s. IMO they are the worst buses I've ever ridden lol. They just jerk way too much More likely that's probably what they will get. Brooklyn is suppose to receive the majority of the Xd40s. If Brooklyn gets new buses thats all they will probably end up with. Yep! Unless there is a MAJOR change but a few Brooklyn Depots are in the mix for this upcoming order. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Future ENY OP Posted April 9, 2016 Share #694 Posted April 9, 2016 Flatbush is supposed to recieve artics for the B46 SBS next year. Right.. However, between later spring into early next year will be standards XD40's. Than artics. Could be a possibility that they can pull some from B44SBS, and get some buses from Manhattan and Bronx. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaTransitMan4608 Posted April 9, 2016 Share #695 Posted April 9, 2016 Right.. However, between later spring into early next year will be standards XD40's. Than artics.

I feel like that would make overcrowding in the Bronx much worse than it already is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Future ENY OP Posted April 9, 2016 Share #697 Posted April 9, 2016 Are their any queens depots in the mix for the new xd40 order As of right now. This order is exclusive for Brooklyn Division ONLY. Queens is getting LFS. Refer to the 1st page of the thread for further information. As things do change. This is the we are talking about! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share #698 Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) For reference, the 40 foot option order has not officially been announced. The delivery schedule posted is MTA's official review of what they were supposed to present to the board, and suppliers, which is subject to change. Brooklyn and Quill are supposed to be getting the XD's, with Nova's going to Bronx, and Queens and possibly SI depots to bump some hybrids to other boroughs. EDITED: Thanks Ray.

SubBus Posted April 11, 2016 Share #699 Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) They had a hard time because they kept missing out on ideal pieces of land. The last one was a former Verizon facility off Springfield & Merrick, nestled between Stop & Shop (the former Pathmark) and the LIRR. By the time the (MTA)'s real estate people noticed it, UPS had grabbed it. Another ideal location eventually became the Home Depot on the other side of the same tracks. Wow!!! That's not too far from me. The UPS have been there about a year now. That would've been a good location for the depot...
