I just happen to pass by the LGA depot today and low and behold there is yet they have another new arrival. It is 9316 and yes it does have hard seats.. B6, sorry dude dont feel bad, UP just got 9399 and it has a white ass. LOL!!!!:P

 

I take those 93xx from Yuk Over the 93xx we had since they only worked good on the B4(went to JG), B64(Midday), B74(ouside of Rush). Its was murder on the B1(KBCC), B6(the whole routes is murder),B3, B36 it cut the number of buses UP could send out.

Does any one have any other pics of these 9300s on the B4? Or what have you? I have to get my shots. I might go there Saturday to UP However, no promises though.:cool:

 

Ah you know that JG owns B4 now so there aren't 93xx on it. Just CNG :P. Cool, i was i could meet you but my FLA class is marching in the Bensonhurst columbus Day Parade,

This just in LGA now has 3 more 9300s. They are B6 this may make you a little mad sorry......9315 9322 & 9323. 9315 now has a white back it still has soft seats while the other 2 now have hard seats no platforms. I think they still have the black backs.

 

No not 9315. Did u go to UPK today?

Okay first you need to type more clearly because I did not understand WTF you just said.

 

Second, MJQ did not have ALL NovaBus RTS-06 #9250-9299 series. They had NovaBus RTS-06 #9270-9284 (from Yukon and then Ulmer Park) for the X25, X90 and I think the X92 (if that route was still operating).

 

Queens Village received NovaBus RTS-06 #9250-9255 from Yukon for the X68. Remember, QV had Orion 05.501 #611-630 during that time too before they were sent to Casey Stengel.

 

NovaBus RTS-06 #9257-9284 (then as I said #9270-9284 went to MJQ afterwards) were sent to Ulmer Park for the X27, X28 and X29.

 

This was all due to the MCIs entering service. When Ulmer Park got their MCI buses, NovaBus RTS-06 #9262-9269 and NovaBus RTS-06 #9285 and #9291 were sent to Jamaica. Queens Village received NovaBus RTS-06 #9256-9261, #9286-9290 and #9292-9294.

 

When the Orion 05.501 #100 suburbans went from Castleton to MJQ for the X90, NovaBus RTS-06 #9270-9281 and #9283-9284 went to Jamaica. Queens Village received NovaBus RTS-06 #9282.

 

Since then, those NovaBus RTS-06 #9250-9299 series have bounced back and forth between Queens Village and Jamaica.

 

When MTA Bus took over Liberty Lines Express, NovaBus RTS-06 #9295-9300 went to Yonkers for an "experiment" or training would be more like it. After that, NovaBus RTS-06 #9295-9300 went to Queens Village.

 

I hope this helps!
