Bee Flexible #823 Posted March 13, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 13, 2009 As I passed by LGA Depot earlier tonight, I saw buses 4023 and 4026 with MTA Bus LGA Depot QC Decals on both buses. Sorry no pics were taken. It looks like the end of the road for the 1990-1994 RTS buses is very near.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Yukon was supposed to get some new battery pack NGs. Thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3348 Posted March 14, 2009 Share #12 Posted March 14, 2009 Wow, I need to go to my home depot and take some pics of those 8XXXs before they're gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Charles Posted March 14, 2009 Share #13 Posted March 14, 2009 The 80xx-83xx's are still quite common on the Q23. However, I have not seen a 71xx or a 97xx on that line for quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bee Flexible #823 Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share #14 Posted March 14, 2009 You may want to try the Q38 Q39 and the Q53 as well. They usually have RTSs out in full on the weekends. Lines such as the Q18 Q19 Q29 Q33 Q47 Q49 Q69 and the Q72 usually see only 1 or 2 RTSs on the weekends. In fact, some don't see any at all. Also, last weekend, I noticed only 1 or 2 9700s out in service. The rest were 9300s and HEVs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
