Guest Charles Posted February 5, 2009 Share #451 Posted February 5, 2009 If anyone has posted this already somewhere, my bad for repeating, but here goes: I saw 8416 on the Q23 this evening. I couldn't take any photos, it was moving. It was heading towards Ditmars Blvd around 6:30 PM this evening. 8416, I do believe, was a Flatbush RTS. The bus had no side ads but a back ad, and the LaGuardia Depot sticker was in place. That's just about as much as I saw. I have seen some 84xx and 85xx on LaGuardia routes, what buses will replace these? The NGs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Charles Posted February 14, 2009 Share #457 Posted February 14, 2009 So how many of the 92xx/93xx RTSs still have coach seating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T J Trainman Posted February 14, 2009 Share #458 Posted February 14, 2009 From what I can remember, about 43 RTSs remain with the coach style seating. I might be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UlmerPark B6 Posted February 14, 2009 Share #459 Posted February 14, 2009 From what I can remember, about 43 RTSs remain with the coach style seating. I might be wrong. Yeah, mostly in Queens, and I think, non in Brooklyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Charles Posted February 15, 2009 Share #462 Posted February 15, 2009 Why did the take out the soft seats upon the 93xx's arrival at bus? Did the suburban seats take up more space or something? I've never been on an RTS with suburban, but I've been on the Orion/BIA V's with the coach seats...the space seemed to be decent enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T J Trainman Posted February 15, 2009 Share #463 Posted February 15, 2009 From what I have heard please dont quote me.......but, thats what MTA Bus wants. They wont put them in service with the soft seats or platforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T J Trainman Posted February 17, 2009 Share #468 Posted February 17, 2009 Sorry dude but you can forget about ANY 9400s at LGA NO 1998 models at this time. You will probably see more 8400s/8500s and the remaing handful of 9300s other than that nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T J Trainman Posted February 20, 2009 Share #469 Posted February 20, 2009 9329 is now at the LGA depot. It still has soft seats etc. Also, it has JAM stickers on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOrion3741 Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share #470 Posted February 21, 2009 1998-1999 RTS Novas (4900-5200, 9350, 9352-9699), some of them, will eventually come over to MTA Bus, eventually. If cheap behind ex-QSC Orion V CNG buses can crossover to operate on NYCT bus routes, ANYTHING is possible now. Nothing will surprise me from now on. The MTA and their bus moves are soooo unpredictible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
