T J Trainman Posted August 23, 2008 Share #178 Posted August 23, 2008 All of the 9300s at LGA have hard seats. however, 9320 DID come to LGA with soft seats. A driver friend of mine spotted the seats being swapped. He asked the mechanic why they were changing the seats?B6 do you have any pics of 9311, 9314, 9338-9341 by any chance?

Far Rock Depot Posted August 24, 2008 Share #179 Posted August 24, 2008 ok< i havent been on here in a while but i guess this is the best time to play catch up. i too noticed Novas at LGA when i was working in jackson heights. I just started working back in greenwich village and noticed something weird.... it rolled by so quick and i was so stuck on stupid i couldnt snap a quick photo....a RTS numbered 83xx on the M5 with MV stickers and still sporting the MTA Bus logo. WTF??? with all these weird moves is it possible that now with the formation of a centralized MTA DOB that the moves are to familiarize all the depots with the various types of buses and for milage evening???? Could this be the next step for one solo MTA bus company? its a thought that just ran across my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T J Trainman Posted August 24, 2008 Share #183 Posted August 24, 2008 9382, 3, 5, 6? perhaps 5 more lower 9300s are going to LGA? When did these higher 9300s come in? B6, Thank you for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, i don't need you to guess, it's 9384-9388. o rode on 9384 and the ride was slick!; everything else was kinda loose, due to being at SI for some time, from what my buddy told me. no 9300s are not going to LGA, althought more and more are hiding in the depot building itself, instead of streets. the higher 9300s, i have no idea but porbabaly the night of Monday to Friday. maybe saturday. be on the lookout for more buses:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted August 25, 2008 Share #185 Posted August 25, 2008 9384-9388 got stolen from yukon and sent to UP If this keeps up, SI will only be Orion/MCI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T J Trainman Posted August 25, 2008 Share #186 Posted August 25, 2008 Be on the look out for buses going to where? UP? I hate to say this but I think the 9300s may be leaving LGA. I saw 2 of them today with pieces of paper taped on to their windshileds it was 9320 & 9347. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOrion3741 Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share #187 Posted August 25, 2008 Those Novas are only leaving LGA to get Reseated! They will return to LGA, but with Hard Seats!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted August 25, 2008 Share #188 Posted August 25, 2008 9384-9388 got stolen from yukon and sent to UP If this keeps up, SI will only be Orion/MCI. I think it will be all Orion/MCI eventually, unless Charleston Depot gets New Flyer Artics. If they get the Orion X Artic then it will definitely all Orion/MCI.

T J Trainman Posted August 26, 2008 Share #196 Posted August 26, 2008 B6 and others,please disregard my rant about the Novas leaving LGA. As it turns out another one has arrived to LGA. looks to be 9345 or 9346? I ll have to try and check tommorrow. B6, sorry to bug you there however, do you have a more updated list of the U.P. 9300s with the hard seats by any chance?If you do many thanks. Im sure there are some "hiding" in that depot.

T J Trainman Posted August 26, 2008 Share #197 Posted August 26, 2008 As it turns out 9345 or 9346 didnt arrive to LGA. The "mystery" bus that did come to LGA is 9340. Thank you B6. lol.

Im not sure if this one has soft seats B6?:confused: LOL 9341 has also been sent to LGA. I think nothing is moving for a long time and will take maybe the 92xx or 88xx series buses. Thats what Ulmer wants to do. the list of hard seats is... 9301, 9305, 9309, 9313 (Platformed), 9314, 9324, 9330. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T J Trainman Posted August 26, 2008 Share #199 Posted August 26, 2008 Hey B6, are you serious about 9341 coming to LGA? Wow I didnt see it there. Is it on its way now? Very interesting about the the 88s and 92s Maybe next. Cool Thanks BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting about the the 88s and 92s Maybe next. Cool Thanks BTW. No i was jsut joking around and seeing if Subchatters poking around here will believe me. and they did, haha. seriously Ulmer still have 30 buses extra, half of them are suburbs and that is not something to laught about. if they are sending anything else over, it better not be suburbs, thought i am 75% positive it is.
