MHV9218 Posted July 30, 2012 Share #202 Posted July 30, 2012 Here is 4710: Excellent catch, I see there's another new variation of the right turns sticker. MTA can't make their minds up... There's an LFSA at Flatbush usually twice a year. There must be a massive elephant in the room each time just thinking about the potentially cut runs and the like...

Grand Concourse Posted July 30, 2012 Share #203 Posted July 30, 2012 There's an LFSA at Flatbush usually twice a year. Really? damn, it sucks because the depot isn't too far for me to walk to. I I had known earlier I could've made it there w/in 30 min+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted July 30, 2012 Share #204 Posted July 30, 2012 I'm interested in finding out what was the reason for this possible "renumbering" with the fleet. It would've been awesome if they stayed as 1000s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would've been awesome if they stayed as 1000s. Word, 1000-1089 were more fitting for these buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtNovaBusRTS9369 Posted July 30, 2012 Share #206 Posted July 30, 2012 I'm interested in finding out what was the reason for this possible "renumbering" with the fleet. It would've been awesome if they stayed as 1000s. I agree as well, but I believe they renumbered them to make them closer with the XD40's (4810-4899).

R32 3838 Posted August 1, 2012 Share #207 Posted August 1, 2012 I hope FLA gets these XD60's, I would love to see them get these instead of the Nova's, the Novas belong in the Bronx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted August 3, 2012 Share #215 Posted August 3, 2012 How has the Bronx been cheated of new buses? They have the Nova lfsa and the NF c40lfs. The Bronx is well off. Besides the Xd60s would be on just the B44 SBS, hardly that many buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted August 3, 2012 Share #216 Posted August 3, 2012 No it's going to the Bronx. Brooklyn has the xd40 already. The Bronx gets cheated out of new buses. bronx in.your terms get cheated out because thats the borough of crazy animals...bus attacks etc....and like GRAND CONCOURSE said they got C40lfs and now NOVA lfsas....over 100 ....so if fb was to get these they would only have about 20-25 or so and they may replace some of their RTS and such but Bronx is 90% to get some of these....and MAYBE manhattan...

On of that the S79 doesn't need artics because the ridership is not that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that assignment is subject to change over time. I am actually assuming that Tuskegee will be put back on the roster due to the fact that its been at the damn depot three times already.

Grand Concourse Posted August 3, 2012 Share #223 Posted August 3, 2012 Who said anything about FLA the TEST FLEET of 90 buses will be divided among Kingsbridge and Gun Hill no wishful thinking here just plain facts as stated before. No one said anything about any of the 90 being sent down here, I think some of us would prefer them over the Nova lfsa. Plus with the rate it's taking to set up the B44SBS, it doesn't look like that line will be ready anytime soon. So it could be possible that line gets them, assuming all goes well with those 90 buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share #224 Posted August 3, 2012 I've never seen an LFSA yet in person. You must not live in NYC then..... No it's going to the Bronx. Brooklyn has the xd40 already. The Bronx gets cheated out of new buses. 40 foot test program has nothing to do with the 60 foot test program. Depots are selected based on internal criteria.

They have more ridership than every single route at Gun Hill and Kingsbridge. FLA needs artics. Brooklyn is the boro that always gets cheated...
