There's a handful of 700's there now.

Current buses at vendor: 674, 744, 6035, 6033, 6021, 6023, 746, 742, 743, 6037, and one more 6000 bus for tusk inside the building.

 

Prepare to see the Xcelsiors in Brooklyn and Manhattan sometime soon.

I'm not ready for this.

The 40 ft Xcelsiors or the 60 ft Xcelciors? Also if these Xcelciors were to come in Manhattan which depot will it go to?

Did those units run on the 15 or 19?

 

Scratch that, 5690 is on the 15 Limited but 5701 is also running on the 15 Limited as well. I think KB has a run or two on the Limited around this time.

5600 entered WF a few min ago, but still has KB decals. 5690 as well. That may change later on though. Edited by ShadeJay

Does KB do all the 15 short turns and WF does all the harlem runs? Its kinda stupid cause they send 100% artics for the short turns and WF might send an Orion 7 CNG to do the harlem run, which is crushloaded.

Yes, that's only during the weekdays as a Bx55 replacement and Harlem runs at WF= yes.

On weekends and late nights, all the buses are out of WF.

It was the Boston one, in their livery with their number on it. MTA just called it 0013 while they used it.

 

It never ran in passenger service, just followed Grand Av lines (like the B62) just to test out the Allison hybrid system

 

As FYI, the MBTA XDE40's have the newest version of the BAE HybriDrive system, not the Allison system.
