King Transit Posted November 18, 2018 Share #1651 Posted November 18, 2018 4 minutes ago, East New York said: 9500-9504 are all Allison pilot buses, and 9505-9509 are all BAE Systems pilot buses. Negative. The damage to 5477 is much more extensive than that of 9505 This is correct. 5249 is the last RTS Model designation T80-206 ever built. I’ve actually mentioned several times over the last decade that it would one day become a museum bus. I’ve been waiting about 20 years for this day as I knew it would happen before MTA did. The actually didn’t know it was the last -206 ever until I notified them of this some years back. I was anticipating for #5149 to get preserved because that RTS is currently the most precious beast to look up to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know where these widespread rumors about this bus have come about. The bus has minor damage. 5477 has major damage and is pending a frame inspection to determine its fate. As it appears the frame is not bent I was referring to a different unit. From over a week ago lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion6025 Posted November 20, 2018 Share #1659 Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) The scrapping of Quill RTS has commenced; 5215 and 5233 are done. Furthermore, 5204 has been scrapped out of FP.

Orion6025 Posted November 21, 2018 Share #1662 Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) Haven't verified whether it really is scrapped or not but I just saw 5215 on the tow truck stripped of parts heading up broadway so it's safe to say it's done IMO...

MHV184 Posted November 22, 2018 Share #1663 Posted November 22, 2018 According to MHV9218 6414 from Manhattanville and 6461 from QV have been removed from the fleet. I'm surprised the MTA is retiring these OGs so quick without replacements 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted November 22, 2018 Share #1667 Posted November 22, 2018 When it comes to buses being retired, does the farebox get reused on a new delivered bus or the new bus comes with a new farebox? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T J Trainman Posted November 22, 2018 Share #1668 Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) Nope. The farebox comes out of the old bus and goes in to the new one. Edited November 22, 2018 by T J Trainman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
