Calvin Posted January 22 Share #4976 Posted January 22 (edited) 16 hours ago, RSMG106 said: I'm not sure if Ulmer Park has enough spares after losing one local bus. Also, the 2011 bus fleet, part of the Bus Evaluation Program, now has at least one or more buses retired due to incidents or reaching the maximum mileage. Ulmer Park should be okay minus that one XD-40 due to the recent incident (7565 is OOS but still have enough units). The B6 takes up most of their standards in fleet total. By calculation to how buses each route is used at the standard pool, they have 20-26 units leftover in each rush hour.

What parts is it missing? That’s an interesting reason to retire a bus, but I guess it makes sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if there were available parts, they would've gotten parts from the retired NGs at Eastchester scrap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
