So no scrapping...yet. I'm a bit confused. Now they are saying the fareboxes is removed and then is being sent to ECH ? But aren't they retiring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They removed the NYCT fareboxes, and I am assuming that once they arrive at ECH, they will put BusCo fareboxes in them because they are going into passenger service for BusCo instead of going for scrap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I don't understand is why they're taking the OMNY readers out as well, if they're staying in service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought in the first place those 2008’s were going to be scrapped? and plus bus is getting a good chunk of the Prevost order. My guess is that the TA wants those 2006-2007 out ASAP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's the main part I was confused about because if the fareboxes is out and everything else what's the point of just letting ECH use them if they are retiring the CL's and getting new Prevost. And we all know about the condition those CT's are in so it's funny to hear about this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTABusTransitFanner Posted May 7, 2021 Share #2962 Posted May 7, 2021 This is weird, on the TTMG roster, it still says that 2836 is at Yukon but now that bus is at Eastchester. TTMG has to update it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
