MTA Bus Operations: Deliveries, Moves & Transfers

In that case the Orion VII CNG's should have been temporarily sent to CP, with SC borrowing some NF's from CP.  The B103 is too long a line.

 

Wouldn't really make a difference. College Point's more heavier lines have more stops, and are just as long. The Q25 and the Q65 are just about as long, if not, a little longer than the B103, with more stops. The Q66 is just a mile and a half or so shorter than the three. The shortest line they have is the Q19.

 

Those VIIs are better off at Spring Creek.

The arrival of Stengel's Novas will be enough for the M79 SBS.

 

This could of been asked at the random thoughts page though.

Yes. But that didn't answer if some of the d60s would've been pushed to retirement.

Yes. But that didn't answer if some of the d60s would've been pushed to retirement.

Some of them could be sent to scrap if they're in bad shape. That or a few units could be sent to The Bronx. The only thing known is that most of them are staying for the M14A/D. Edited May 17, 2017 by Kingsbridgeviewer382

At this time, I don't think they will get pushed out yet.

 

My hunch is that once West Farms gets their new CNG artics, their Novas will come down to Quill to push out the rest of the D60s, unless they receive the rest of Stengel's batch and unwrap those for local service.

[East New York]

Nothing new was posted except the original 5 that were delivered weeks ago. Also thanks for the update on the XD60s. Was it said that these buses are still for SBS or going to the M14 for regular service until 2019?

[Cait Sith]

The M79 is a Select Bus Service as of today. The M14 is the only local articulated route at MJQ.

I wasn't really paying attention to roster changes recently, but did Quill move out or retire any buses?
