MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

[Fresh Pond]

i think its been there what's missing is 1010

They skipped over that number for some reason

[ciboii22]

4932 was previously at UP before heading to EN I believe.

 

 

4932 and 6633 are new additions, 6626 has been there for a little while, 4932 came from JA right, it wasn't one of the ones that made its way over to UP?

No 4932 came from JA its 4934 + at UP.

3880 officially at MHV. Saw it on the M3 with MHV depot stickers.

 

Posted ages ago man, 3878-3881 are all at the depot.

[MHV9218]

6729, 6738, 3825, and 3930 MQ-MV most likely until the cold weather snaps.

is 126 st depot getting anything in return with the buses they just lost?

Nope. The have enough buses to cover the M31, M35, and their few M116 runs.

That would explain why i seen 9687 on Flatlands today. It was NIS deadheading to either Rockaway Parkway or Livonia Avenue Train Station Edited January 24, 2014 by Armani

5182 FB - UP just caught it on the 36.

[contor]

5182 FB - UP just caught it on the 36.

There loaners from FB. It seemed UP was short

on buses today and they had to get some from FB.

I heard they were getting or got about 10 buses to use.

[JFK Depot]

No 4932 came from JA its 4934 + at UP.

What's the deal with the Queens Division ?

Who's really short out here when it comes to the TA Depots... All this loaning and swapping is starting to get confusing

[NewFlyer 230]

Did 9624 come from UP because I don't remember any Queens RTS's with drivers sheilds?

[B36 Via Ave U]

I believe 9624 never left QV.

[NewFlyer 230]

No it's a JA bus but Queens buses don't have driver shields expect for the C40'a LFS/A's

The RTS and Orion VII hybrids have been getting driver shields as of late like 4901 and even MJQ's buses too.

[MHV9218]

Something really weird is going on...Manhattanville just sent a ton of 40-footers over the Tuskegee.

 

6365, 6388, 6407, 6633, and 6670 are all on the M101.

6631, 6666, 6687, 6689, and 6759 are all on the M102.

6401, 6673, and 6683 are all on the M103.

6647 and 6678 are on the M96.

 

Also sent over... 6701, 6750, 

 

On top of that, a ton of the other buses on those routes are 40-footers from Tuskegee. No idea what the hell is going on.

 

EDIT:

 

I think the MTA has pulled almost every artic they can off the road in anticipation of today's snow. We all knew TU didn't have enough buses to cope, so MV is filling in the gap.

 

Quill is running 40-footers on every line today, too.

9836 OOS with farebox taken out. It hasn't seen service in months. Last I heard it was still in the depot.

Seems like whatever Zerega was doing with that bus, they're done doing it now.

 

I saw 4458 on the Q32 the other day. I keep seeing QV buses on the Q20 as well.

Stengel buses have been taken OOS to have GPS' installed. QV and JAM were loaning buses in the meantime.

 Could it be for BusTime?

[NewFlyer 230]

Could it be for BusTime?

Mostly likely since Bustime needs GPS's in order to work. Newer buses like the LFS and C40's already have them.

[Orion VII 4 Life]

Most of the MTA Bus fleet in Qns has the GPS installed. I thought the TA buses were pretty much all done too, but then again I was just in Flushing the other day and I didn't even bother to look so I don't really know. Guess they're not all done just yet if there's buses still headed out to Grand Avenue (IIRC that's where they do it) to get their GPS.

With the exception of the Ex Staten Island Orion V's, most of the Orion V's and VII's from Casey Stengel still don't have them. 6055 which is currently in The Bronx didn't have (and still don't) have GPS installed.

5515 to OH.
