East New York Posted March 29, 2012 Share #477 Posted March 29, 2012 From what I understand the buses numbered in the 520's, 530's, and 540's are ready to be delivered to their respective depots any day now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrstone Posted March 29, 2012 Share #479 Posted March 29, 2012 Yes, 530's and 540's are rolling in fast. A bunch delivered last week and this week, 7 are due to be delivered on Sunday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTA1992 Posted March 29, 2012 Share #480 Posted March 29, 2012 About an hour ago, I saw either 296 or 298 as a training bus on Staten Island. It pulled up at Broadway and Forest avenue and made a right on Forest. Than my bus passed it. Any reason why that could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyer 230 Posted March 29, 2012 Share #481 Posted March 29, 2012 Where are they at sitting at CP out of service or at a center to be delivered to CP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrstone Posted March 31, 2012 Share #482 Posted March 31, 2012 If ur asking about the test buses spotted, I have no idea. If ur asking about the deliveries in general, I can tell you the buses are delivered from Minnesota by a 3rd party drive away company, the buses are delivered to another 3rd party contractor at JFK who gets the buses ready for delivery to the depots.

NewFlyer 230 Posted April 1, 2012 Share #483 Posted April 1, 2012 Are they ever planning to repaint 230 with the front stripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted April 1, 2012 Share #484 Posted April 1, 2012 About an hour ago, I saw either 296 or 298 as a training bus on Staten Island. It pulled up at Broadway and Forest avenue and made a right on Forest. Than my bus passed it. Any reason why that could be? In Staten Island???? That doesn't even sound right.... Are they ever planning to repaint 230 with the front stripe. Nope. I think 185 will remain stripeless as well, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

NewFlyer 230 Posted April 1, 2012 Share #485 Posted April 1, 2012 Yeah u might of meant Brooklyn because Staten Island doesn't even have a CNG depot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTA1992 Posted April 1, 2012 Share #486 Posted April 1, 2012 Then why the hell was 986 signed up as TRAINING BUS in Staten island in the vicinity of Castleton Depot? That is confusing me to death. You can't confuse a C40LF with any other model on SI because you don't see it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyer 230 Posted April 1, 2012 Share #487 Posted April 1, 2012 Any photo evidence? But didn't castleton just get 90 new buses LFS XD40 and the Orion 3G . Maybe it is just training different operators to get used to different types of buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTA1992 Posted April 1, 2012 Share #488 Posted April 1, 2012 Maybe. It was just odd seeing it over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyer 230 Posted April 2, 2012 Share #489 Posted April 2, 2012 Oh well all I care about concerning this topic is I hope the 2nd batch of C40LF's get delivered tommorow. It's ashame how the MTA really screwed up the Orion's by not cleaning them. The seats look like they haven't been washed and lots of those buses have leaking water problems.

Burrstone Posted April 2, 2012 Share #490 Posted April 2, 2012 There was about 20 C40LF's sitting in a lot at JFK airport, and about 5 more come later that day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RookiePhenom Posted April 2, 2012 Share #493 Posted April 2, 2012 Those at JFK (that came in the last couple of days) I did see go down the Indiana Toll Road/Ohio Turnpike over the weekend. Not to mention a couple have been sighted outside of Chicago (staying at one of our lovely hotels). Nonetheless, I am quite pleased and very excited that you guys are getting some fine buses in MTA livery. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted April 2, 2012 Share #495 Posted April 2, 2012 Quite a line of buses there, genuinely surprising how fast the C40s come on in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queens Surface Posted April 3, 2012 Share #496 Posted April 3, 2012 Really interested in finding out where this New Flyer lot is in JFK... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyer 230 Posted April 4, 2012 Share #497 Posted April 4, 2012 They look good i wonder why the MTA is stilling hesitating the deliver them to CP. I got mad when I got on 9932 it was in fair condition a couple of weeks ago. The bus is dirty the seats are messed up, the poles in the bus except the top are gone and today the AC barely blew out any air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aemoreira81 Posted April 14, 2012 Share #498 Posted April 14, 2012 Really interested in finding out where this New Flyer lot is in JFK... It is where the airport buses are stored. BTW, why have these buses not been released for service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
