Cait Sith Posted July 10, 2015 Share #208 Posted July 10, 2015 Is the bus roster on TTMG gone? Where is the most updated roster? For now, they're transitioning to better servers. The roster will be converted to an HTML format to make things easier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenEleven Posted July 10, 2015 Share #209 Posted July 10, 2015 Both TTMG and my server got hit with system checks by the webhost at the same time.

NewFlyer 230 Posted July 12, 2015 Share #217 Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) So with all the New Flyers LGA is getting all the RTS will be gone from there. When BP gets artics they won't need about half of the Orion VII's assuming the Q64 moves back to College Point. I wonder where they will be spent.

East New York Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share #222 Posted July 13, 2015 Major updates all across the board are coming up. From the accelerated Orion V, and VII CNG retirements, to the wave of New Flyer buses that are now definitely coming in. This includes XD40's, XN40's, XD60's, and New Flyers wanting the MTA to further evaluate the XDE40, XN60, and XE40 variants. Delivery has commenced with the Nova's, however, there is major news about the status of that order and future Nova orders as well. We will also get into the fact of why they are actually going to ENY Depot, which was originally supposed to get a few more Xcelsiors. As I stated before, additional XD60's were on the immediate horizon. I was not exactly sure how it would play out or how the contract would work. For all of you that had questions, it is now confirmed by MTA, and T. Logan has confirmed the assignment. This was only the beginning.... Take note of the first paragraph in this post. We have a lot to talk about ladies and gentleman. I just like to dot all my I's and cross all my T's before I post. For those that didn't believe me when I said Brooklyn would get "ALL" the Xcelsiors in the the base order when they came in and ENY was first..... And That the original assignments called for all the XD60's to take over the old D60HF number sequence people said these were "foamers" dreams. I love you guys! But what I love more is never saying I told you so. However, now we have many new members that may not know who I am, first let me say Welcome to NYC Transit Forums, and that I have all access to all things MTA when I wan't. I need do nothing more than identify myself. That means if I said it, it is a 99% chance it will turn out just that way. If I confirmed it, there is a 100% chance. If things change, that's the MTA for you. Stay tuned Still batting 1000.

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted July 13, 2015 Share #223 Posted July 13, 2015 I'm interested in hearing more about the accelerated retirement of the Orions. Still too many of those beat up buses looking like they're on their last leg. The sooner the better... Bring on the accelerated retirement! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q43LTD Posted July 13, 2015 Share #224 Posted July 13, 2015 I'm just kind of surprised that there was an option order for Bus on the XD60's 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share #225 Posted July 13, 2015 5439-5491...53 Units for LG (for future Q52/53 SBS) may be but i don't think your going to need more then 30 busses for 52/53 sbs. You also have to take into account the fact that MTA is evaluating an extension of the Q52, and SBS is more than a year off. The Q52/53 SBS will be unlike any other we have seen to date... It will incorporate the first "high efficiency" BRT route to New York City. The main feature will be the new dedicated islands which will completely eliminate the factor of cars turning. From all the documents I have examined on the future service, it stands to be the most efficient SBS service to date. So the Q52 will move from FR to LG? At this time that is correct, however it has been said that a split between JFK and LGA is possible, and could be on the table. I'm interested in hearing more about the accelerated retirement of the Orions. Still too many of those beat up buses looking like they're on their last leg. The sooner the better... Bring on the accelerated retirement! All the V's are out as the new buses come in. The CNG has a base order for 138, and an option of 125. That procurement will completely wipe out the entire Orion CNG fleet. It is now expected that the options will be exercised immediately if the introduction of the base order is successful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
