Nice. Just wondering when ENY or FP will start getting rid of theirs. 

My guess would be as the delivery of LFS allows. Then September 2nd will be the big day once the XD60s displace a bunch of Grand's 40 footers bc of B38 articulation. I'm still clueless as to what the deal is with Q12 articulation but that should free up some more 40 footers. THen whenever 7850-7905 roll in...

Update: Speaking of the devil, 6562-6563 removed from service (FP)

Would it technically be September 1st. I know the 2nd begins the new service on the 38. Besides how many units does the 38 have currently and what will they need before 9/2. 

As for the Q12 situation. CS started sending some NG’s to Queens Village. My thinking is that GA and CS could share the XD60’s from The Bronx and plus CS is supposed to get their buses back from LGA-(summer rental).

Look for artics to start on the B38 on Sunday Sept. 1.  Because of the new pick, sheets shown in the depot will denote premium artic pay in effect .  New picks always start on a Sunday on NYCT bus and subway & MTA Bus.  Monday Sept. 2 is a holiday (Sunday schedule) on Labor Day.

Kinda figured that the pick begins 9/1. Thanks for the heads up. I was responding to someone else that indicated that artics would begin service on 9/2 well in fact it is 9/1.

They really did not hesitate at all when it came to scrapping the 2005 Orion VII’s. I thought they had at least another year since they just scrapped all the 2003/2004 Orion VII’s.
