Melbx15 Posted March 3, 2019 Share #3182 Posted March 3, 2019 Queens village loaned buses to west farms which is a Surprise to me because out of all the Bronx depots west farms usually has enough standard 40ft buses to cover its Articulated and standard routes btw it’s nice to see some green flip-flop sign Orion vii buses back in the Bronx 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted March 3, 2019 Share #3183 Posted March 3, 2019 ENY sent some buses to KB... a bunch of Hybrids and one XD40 (numbered in the 7000s, not a 4800). Is there enough 40FT buses in the system where weekday rush hour service could be made WITHOUT using any artics? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happened once a couple years ago. Transit has mostly gotten lucky with overnight and weekend snow storms, so this has been a rare problem. The basic answer is yes, as long as SI service is reduced (Limiteds cut, etc.). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planning calls for Yukon to receive 2018-2019 Nova LFS’. 34 for the S79+, and 33 for local/limited lines. The next Express buses will also be in Cuomo wrap as you all call it. Some of those are planned for SI as well. We will also have a future pending temporary assignment for the XE60 to do a “Dual Evaluation Test” where MTA will test out electric operations as well as articulated operations at the same time on the island. Thanks for the updates on the options. I will be going up in a few weeks to look at the former D60s turned LFSAs Numbers on the M14 & others. Are they wrapped in SBS format or local 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reference posts 3170 and 3175 in this thread for details. Don’t tell that to SEPTA. They have 2 districts with both LFS/As & Xcelisors and 1 with NFs & LFSAs in them so both buses are the same except for maintaining them. 1 will have 3 different models 1 of NFDs, LFSAs & Proterras. So each driver in one district will be trained to operate all three models. The same can be said for NYCTA. If a driver is trained to drive OGs then they can drive NG buses such as the aforementioned ones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All depots should have at least half of their (should be) assigned buses at this point. If they want to be consistent, it should be nearly 20 buses at a time delivered to each of the remaining depots and that's the end of it. We have about 120 buses remaining to be delivered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Sith Posted March 6, 2019 Share #3200 Posted March 6, 2019 It appears that 0016 and 0018 have been used for testing and training in Manhattan, along with charger compatibility testing. Over the past two days, 0016 and 0018 shadowed an XE40 from end to end. 0018 is currently at Williamsburg Bridge Plaza for some odd reason(probably something to do with the charger), but not in service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
