You accidentally removed 3814-3816, 3820 JFK 

That bus has been on the list. Yes, I accidentally erased the other buses. Was supposed to have been only 3816 since I was notified that bus was not scrapped yet.

I will add all three. Thank you for your help!

Never say never, they have fixed buses that have been badly damaged before.

Only reason for that is because 7507 and 7548 were sent to Northeastern Bus Rebuilders for repairs. NEBR didn't repair those buses as of now, which is why 7548 was sent to Eastchester scrap.

Again, anything can happen.

5299 was the same way when it slammed into the building and the subway entrance at 14th Street after a truck hit it, basically demolishing the entire front of the bus, they did the repairs in-house.

It was never sent to NEBR. It was at JA since the accident until recently.

Does the cost to repair the bus outweigh the price to buy a new one? Many of these buses are held for investigations for a long period of time, have significantly less mileage than buses from the same order by the time they retire and factoring in man hours, parts? Does the return on investment really work out in the MTA’s favor? I guess age of the bus plays a big factor and how severe the damage is.

And 5299 was renumbered 5252 after it was finished. As Caith mentioned, buses can be saved because of its good parts and these buses haven’t reach 10 years yet. How can a bus travel at high speeds and hit an illegally parked truck? That’s the question remains
