R32 3838 Posted July 9, 2012 Share #151 Posted July 9, 2012 WTF? Why does MaBstoa get all the good things? Flatbush needs the buses for SBS service. Those assignments are a bunch of BS... I agree 100% this is getting out of hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted July 9, 2012 Share #152 Posted July 9, 2012 These are articulated buses! Of course they're going to MaBSTOA (or 126th Street). Sure, TA has just started using artics outside 126th Street with the LFSAs, but I don't think they should put these in depots that will be new to the artic game. The next BT&E artics should definitely go to Flatbush or CS though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCtrainfan01 Posted July 10, 2012 Share #154 Posted July 10, 2012 How about we all stop overreacting and lets wait and see.....good grief! lol. Precisely. -------- Still don't know why CS got LFSA's... In my opinion, They should have gotten the D60HF's... I'm very excited to see these XD60's.

I'm very excited to see these XD60's. At the shape these D60HFs are in at this moment....not a good idea. It's better for them to get new buses. They've been dumped with hand-me-downs far too long now(excluding the OGs and NGs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some D60's that are in good shape but you're right, A majority of those D60's are shot to hell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threxx Posted July 10, 2012 Share #161 Posted July 10, 2012 The next 40 foot bus order will be the MTS RTS-10 for BT&E, and that may not be until 2014, so don't get your hopes up on that front... _________ Even though those depots know how to handle artics, the NYCT depots need the buses, especially Flatbush.

youngblaze Posted July 11, 2012 Share #163 Posted July 11, 2012 For some reason I have a good feeling the XD60's will see service on the Bx41 SBS when it goes live. However, don't quote me on that (lol). I'm just expressing my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngblaze Posted July 11, 2012 Share #165 Posted July 11, 2012 If I'm not mistaken that's a 4 speed transmission right? I thought they wanted better fuel economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they wanted better fuel economy. I would think that these XD60s would come with the B500Rs but only time will tell. From what I read online, there are also 5-speed and 6-speed variants of the B-400R. I'm not sure if we have any variants of that because I'm almost sure that our B500Rs are 6 speed transmissions.

youngblaze Posted July 16, 2012 Share #167 Posted July 16, 2012 Whoa...B400R??? What's up with that??? Did some more research and the XD60's will have a B500R not a 400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevenEleven Posted July 16, 2012 Share #170 Posted July 16, 2012 But buses aren't allowed past Flatbuah Ave on the Belt due to the weight restriction on the bridge. If it's at Bay Pkwy, its provably some deadheads to/from Ulmer Park, if they were XD40s. Not doubting it as I've seen an Orion V past Flatbush heading towards Manhattan.

East New York Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share #171 Posted July 17, 2012 They're probably being delivered to the lot at JFK. No, what his friend saw were deadheading buses. 1000, and 1001 are the only buses built. The next 40 foot bus order will be the MTS RTS-10 for BT&E, and that may not be until 2014, so don't get your hopes up on that front... _________ Even though those depots know how to handle artics, the NYCT depots need the buses, especially Flatbush. The RTS low floors for NBQP (formerly BT&E) are supposed to be 42.5 foot BRT models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted July 24, 2012 Share #173 Posted July 24, 2012 My uncle and i was having a discussion about the MTA and he said he saw a pretty, clean, new bus in the bronx. i asked him to describe it he said it was futuristic, and he called it the "bubble head" like a boeing 747. i told him you found something exclusive! so im assuming 1000 is at kingsbridge or gun hill now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
