BklynBusMan08 Posted August 14, 2008 Share #2 Posted August 14, 2008 My dad used to work there - seems like Ulmer Park never gets the new buses. How old are the 9600s now? The only new buses ever to set foot in that depot (at least that I remember) seem to be the express buses, and the MCI's. I think the 9000s were the last new local buses there - and even those made a stop in Atlanta for the '96 Olympics first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micstromme Posted August 17, 2008 Share #6 Posted August 17, 2008 Also interesting is how some of those buses were distibuted. Just a few weeks ago, those routes were doing some major overtime on the rough and tough routes of the Grand Avenue Depot and then they went back to Flatbush and now they are front and center at Ulmer Park Depot. But there is no need to worry. 9570, 9623, 9650, 9669 and 9688 are still over at Grand Avenue Depot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spotted all 3 buses working on various flatbush routes this weekend, and have CORRESPONDING FLATBUSH DECALS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted August 18, 2008 Share #8 Posted August 18, 2008 Sorry to break the hype, but 9650, 9669 & 9688 are NOT at grand ave. They are at Flatbush. Spotted all 3 buses working on various flatbush routes this weekend, and have CORRESPONDING FLATBUSH DECALS. I was just about to ask about that. Thanks for clearing that up.
