Unless it's a glitch and actually another unit. Edit: If you check on Bustime, it actually appears as 6813. On Transsee, it appears as both. Turns out that was #9713. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is the first time since 2010 (when Amsterdam Depot shut down) that #6705 and #6706 have been at Mother Clara Hale full time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted July 25, 2021 Share #3137 Posted July 25, 2021 Wow, the OGs are outliving some of the NGs! I thought they would want to retire all or most of the OGs before they started scrapping NGs, not complaining as I like the OGs slightly more than the NGs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the NG Hybrids that were sent to EC have some sort of problems, they should have transferred over to Manhattan Division or QV Depot to displace the remaining 06-07s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happens often with new and old buses so this should not surprise anyone here. Bus usage always varies and not all buses were built equal so you would often see older buses outlasting newer ones.

Their days in Manhattan and Bronx (NYCB) are limited. Brooklyn Division will be a few buses shy to push out every NG, unless they are given XD40s from JA, but idk if that's going to happen. CS Depot is allotted 079 buses from the new order (they have 091 NG Hybrids). Idk if they're going to keep ~012 of them or get other replacements or whatever's going to happen. I can see QV being the last NYCT depot to store NG Hybrids, but at this rate, it's impossible to know for certain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than likely we will see some XD40's from Jamaica transfer over to East New York, Grand Ave or Fresh Pond. Although, Fresh Pond is up first of the 2021/2022 XD40's. If stengel's XD40's transfer out. Than I could possibly see Ulmer Park and Flatbush getting most of that load. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, I could see them getting around 12 or 15 from UP to be able to displace every NG Hybrid. I have my doubts about that happening, though. I think the main step is to focus on pushing out the NG Hybrids from each depot first. (this doesn't concern CA, JA or UP).

I thought they would want to retire all or most of the OGs before they started scrapping NGs, not complaining as I like the OGs slightly more than the NGs The age difference isn't all that different. The NG's are 12 years old, which is the age they can begin to get scrapped, although in the past they were held on for about 15 years. But you have to consider the incidents of road calls and if the batteries need to be replaced, a very expensive proposition. Finally, the way new 40 footers are coming in, many of these will be scrapped in a year or 2 anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
