Idk why MJQ likes the RTS so much, would have expected Manhattan to get rid of the RTS before all of the other boroughs.. MJQ right now based on observation is keeping their best RTS. The same could be made with Flatbush. Kingsbridge NG’s are coming in very slow. As KB gets LFSA’s, NG’s are moving out to Flatbush and MJQ. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now the RTS are forced to retire due to Brooklyn complaining about the RTS polluting the air there. Until the RTS retire, be patient. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got 15 left so if ENY keeps this up, looks like next friday will be the last day (unless ENY speeds up or UP wants to create a shortage) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point Ulmer Park is not receiving any more new XD40’s besides the ones allotted to them?

Quill hasn't gotten any more buses to replace the remaining RTS there, so far only one hybrid from KB came to Quill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what's up with 7802-7850 (IIRC it's assumed 7594-7614 are due for Quill, Who knows where 7690 is going..).

Just a hunch here but it would not surprise me if Ulmer Park does not receive any new XD40s since they currently have 2011, 2014, 2015 and 2018 models. This might be one of those "balancing the fleet age" thing. If they do get new XD40s...great but it just wouldn't surprise me if they kept getting hand-me-downs. Just my two cents.

Gleasonbus7560 Posted April 18, 2019 Share #2012 Posted April 18, 2019 I think Ulmer Park are in the plans for there first ever Hybrids next year,so they will probably get some 2011 XD"s from East New York in mean time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion6025 Posted April 18, 2019 Share #2018 Posted April 18, 2019 5093 scrapped from ulmer so far today. I'll be watching flatbush to see if they zucc anything (with all those NGs they got from KB, it's looking like something's gonna go soon. I imagine the oldest bus, #4947 will be among them, but we'll see) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As KB gets more LFSA’s than more NG’s will leave thus the RTS will head to the scrap yard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
