Also, even if they were to go to Kingsbridge, keep in mind that there are currently 88 hybrids over there. Do you expect that all 88 hybrids would be displaced from Kingsbridge, and if so, where to? In addition, why didn't they test them in Staten Island, especially on the S89 over the Bayonne Bridge? For Gods sake they just raised the damn roadway over there. They may displace some of the hybrids but I higly doubt all will leave. They dont need to test them on the Bayonne bridge since they have the current carbon copy 2015s doing that run now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The raising of the Bridge has nothing to do with Performance. The roadway was raised in a measured way, its not steep nor has to do with Vehicle performance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what matters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sometimes cannot go with that unless if ENY sees it. Remember: the bus HAS to pass inspection, testing & endurance in order for the TA to officially sign into ordering that D45 CRT LEs. Don’t believe it until you know if it’s coming from those who has the knowledge 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t believe it until you know if it’s coming from those who has the knowledge Correct. That was a rumor. It is however a great chance MCI’s will be ordered. In addition, MTA would like to implement up to 37 Alexander-Dennis buses as well. We have to wait and see what the evaluation process leads us to. I would expect 257 D45 base order for Bus Company, possibly 12 for Transit, and 37 double deckers for a split base TA award. We will get into express evaluation soon as well. 1 hour ago, B22viaAtlanticAv said: I wasn't aware of that... all I did was comment on the fact that I saw the 1072 in SBS scheme and Before yesterday I thought 1000-1015 were the SBS scheme buses for the Bx6 SBS. But thanks for your clarification. 1000 has not be delivered yet. And for those who wanted to know, the West Farms XN40’s did NOT have an SBS painted base. They are painted standard blue, and the SBS is/was a wrap. The NEW LFSA’s have a base paint of SBS blue. Also please note that as mentioned before, Gleason will not be fully artic ready until December. In the meanwhile and construction and modifications continue we will have Gleason buses loaned to West Farms. Starting with 1020, and 1021. The pilot buses 1016-1020 are the pilot buses and will come sporadically as always. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrids dropping like flies Looks like these hybrids are not suited for Queens. Run those old hybrids on high speed routes, and expect all of them to break. Can they repower them with the hybrid systems being tested on the new XDE40 buses (Allison or BAE systems) to improve reliability? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3838 Posted July 23, 2018 Share #2147 Posted July 23, 2018 The BP shortage is not because of the hybrids. Its those xd60's, they been having hvac issues hence seeing the orion's pop up on the blvd routes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
