XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted April 1, 2019 Share #3378 Posted April 1, 2019 Honestly the MTA still has the chance to change their minds and upgrade the 2015 LFS/XD40 for their 4 year overhaul into the blue and yellow scheme and add USB ports... That'll shut up the entire cities politics about not having new WiFi buses since those buses are EVERYWHERE. And they're quite young too might as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted April 1, 2019 Share #3379 Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) Anyone looking for D60s today.....might want to stop. They've all been marked OOS, none have pulled out of KB for service. Safe to say that the D60 fleet is also done for good. Edited April 1, 2019 by Cait Sith 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushed retirement of the RTS. Some LFS are bound for Jamaica to retire RTS there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, 8053-8056 and 8058-8059 are at Jamaica. So. Let me get this straight. JA sends NG to QV. QV sends NG back to sender. (Somethings up with the Department of Buses) QV could use more NG’s in the meantime since they are giving up some LFS to Jamaica. So sending back 4676 to JA doesn’t make sense. This is above my pay grade so I won’t even question it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheesh the 63xx-64xx can last another year if needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheesh the 63xx-64xx can last another year if needed. I don’t know about all of that. Queens Village is supposed to get a decent amount of LFS to retire some of the 64xx buses. Although those buses are the workhouses of Queens and Manhattan. It’s time for those buses to retire. The TA doesn’t want another exposé from the Daily News in regards to these buses and finding to do another rush job. If there’s anything to learn is that don’t have buses running more than 12+ years or 500K Miles and have a tabloid try to ruin plans for expansion. If congestion pricing can bring a load of $$$ to the TA we could possibly see new buses every couple of years while replacing existing fleet and or adding to the current fleet of XD40/60’s XDE40’s and maybe XDE60’s plus the electric ⚡️ fleet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing to expose about the green sign hybrids, their hybrids so most outsiders think they are good for the environment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are someone that dosen't pay attention (and yeah it does happen) ot ads are in place it's pretty hard to miss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She isn't a transit fan and she was asking me if these Xcelsiors don't receive front ads, I said "no". Now I have to show her this and thanks for being the lucky catch for this rare bus ad post. I hate the ad on the front of this Xcelsior's face. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestFarms36 Posted April 2, 2019 Share #3399 Posted April 2, 2019 According to the TTMG Roster 1021-1109 have an L9N Engine while 1016-1020 have an ISL G NZ. Can anyone confirm if the L9N is the actual Engine on those units, or if its a mistake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably right as you can tell the engine difference between 1016-1020 and the others by looking at the roof exhaust. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
