Chris.A Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Well according to NYCT Forums, the new Prevost buses will be assigned to Meredith depot (50 NYCT units), likely #1382-1431. The rest will be going to MTA bus Company with College Point picking up most of them (82 units), #1300-1381. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion6025 Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 7 more Prevosts registered (Presumably 1305-7 are among those 7, as those were delivered to CP last month) and 19 more LFS HEV registered. I have been told allocations are - Prevosts - BP CP EC FR LG SC YO MA LFS HEV Base - KB MV MQ OH LFS HEV Options - GH MV MQ LFS Options - CS CA EN JA QV XDE40 - EN MV OF CS The # breakdowns for how many are expected to go to each garage are out there, ,personally I don't find that terribly important so I'm not going to type that out as well, but they're out there if anyone's curious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYC2MTL Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 1308-1309 are reportedly in Secaucus awaiting registration and last minute prep before heading to College Point. As of right now College Point has 1300, 1302-1307. Although, deliveries are coming slow from plattsburgh I expect a fair amount buses to come in within the next few weeks. Nova bus update: Deliveries are tentatively schedule for March. Don't ask me about depot information right now. However, this only assumption i will make and as we all know MTA tends to make changes at the last minute on deliveries. Since that Kingsbridge already has 9622 I'm expecting them to go first.

Also, I see someone mentioned fleet #'s for Meredith Avenue.. No such announcement has been made on this via NYCTF. However, yes they are getting 50 buses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They throw them on all three types of routes, but there's a 100% guarantee of at least one being on the 6th Avenue routes though... 730-900 AM is what I used for the 2001/2 MCI as the bulk of the arrivals into Manhattan fall into that time frame, I assume some Prevosts will inevitably fall into the mix there. As for the PM rush, most CP express buses pull out 3:30 PMish-5:30 PMish (of course there are outliers), but many will pull out, DH into Manhattan, and sit waiting for their trip in Manhattan so you would have to be patient.

Only ones in line for XDE40's are: EN, OF, CS. With OF (Mother Clara Hale getting 60) and EN and CS getting 25 buses respectively. MQ is in line for LFS HEV's along with MV, OH, KB, GH.

Ok I’m guessing the codes i put are probably right. They wouldn’t create special type codes for Vaccine routes i don’t think. However I just found out about the B201. Supposedly an MTAB version of the B99. Idk what the code is but it works on The new Prevosts as I saw a post on instagram. also, below are my pics of the Prevosts! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTAmissions1 Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Was just reading an article regarding the debate about subway service running around the clock every day and the debate if it should continue or not. Reading that the reason why the subway runs 24 hours every day is due to limited yard space keeping the trains operating instead of parked. Noting there are multiple tracks on some lines that they simply shift tracks on the trains to an available section. Right now, the subway closes at 2 AM until 4 AM for cleaning and disinfecting. I think they will eventually restore the two hours that are currently allocated for cleaning and disinfecting since with buses, it is a challenge trying to have them negotiate with the traffic lights and streets. This is along with the labour costs operating the buses to operate at a higher ratio to account for passenger volume. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2021-02-25/inside-the-debate-over-nyc-s-24-7-subway-service 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
