If it was rain I'm pretty sure it's not even serious. Probably not even close to as bad as 9505. But I don't see anything about 5444 in an accident so we'll see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the TTMG roster I was talking about the Google bus roster https://sites.google.com/site/mtanewyorkcitybusroster/new-york-city-bus-roster/laguardia-depot-mta-bus I did not know the TTMG roster updated today so I stopped using until it got updated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty24 Posted November 6, 2018 Share #1635 Posted November 6, 2018 Why was 3548 scrapped again? Was looking back through the pages. I saw it at Zerega today in the back completely stripped with its old scheme. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving that it still had its scheme when delivered says it’s been scrapped for years but we still are holding on to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm excited for another RTS to be preserved, just like 8971. I wonder if one of the 2002-04 D60HFs may get preserved as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully 9506 exists and they can use that as the pilot bus for the BAE hybrid system instead. 9500-9504 are all Allison pilot buses, and 9505-9509 are all BAE Systems pilot buses.

The damage to 5477 is much more extensive than that of 9505. I don’t know where these widespread rumors about this bus have come about. The bus has minor damage. 5477 has major damage and is pending a frame inspection to determine its fate. As it appears the frame is not bent On 11/3/2018 at 9:18 PM, MysteriousBtrain said: 5249 retired but preserved as a museum bus. This is correct. 5249 is the last RTS Model designation T80-206 ever built. I’ve actually mentioned several times over the last decade that it would one day become a museum bus. I’ve been waiting about 20 years for this day as I knew it would happen before MTA did. The actually didn’t know it was the last -206 ever until I notified them of this some years back.
