Orion6025 Posted December 3, 2018 Share #1677 Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) Seems 5189 (Last ran out of Grand Avenue in early November I think?) is not scrapped; I saw it doing driver training a few blocks away from Zerega in the Bronx today. I assume it's now a Zerega bus as opposed to being scrapped? Another thing is that 5188 was scrapped in late October IIRC, but I saw that one on the move today also, heading west down Bruckner Boulevard by Tremont Ave... Wasn't being towed or anything and it didn't have any obvious signs of heading to Eastchester, so I assume it;s in the same situation as 5189?

That said that bus seems to have been having problems (IIRC it was out for a whole week recently) so i suppose to only course of action is to wait and see 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
