August 2023- Transit News Update (MTA Bus)

[@Techno-ov5ss]

Footnotes: I have heard LGA's LFS amount may be cut to 83. I believe I have heard this before. If so, the 100 units is an old amount. If the 83 units is to stand, LGA gets 83 LFSs + 40 XD40s = 123 buses (not enough). JFK gets 179 LFSs + 42 XD40s = 221 buses. BP gets 46 LFSs, ECH gets 34 XD40s (unchanged). Baisley Park having 41 buses applied before they received 8964. They now have 42 thanks to this additional unit. Some images here are for visual representation purposes only, and may not reflect the actual numerical unit referred to in a portion of news. Assignments/Projections are always subject to change.

MTA Bus Coneheads coming in very soon!

here’s the catch: while LGA’s LFS count drops, JFK’s XD40 count also drops. LGA is slated to receive 83 LFSes and 57 XD40s, making JFK only get 25 XD40s.

I just saw 8964 !

[@Flash_Warn1ng]

No problem for helping you out techno, I’ll continue to do so

[@Techno-ov5ss]

Much appreciated

[@Eureeka1989]

Baisley Park's retirement of OGs had started since September 6th 2023 due to the Coneheads entering service. 3519 and 3676 are now retired because of this. NGs will get retired as well.

[@Techno-ov5ss]

9/6 was a really bad day for the OGs there

[@michel4rthur]

I just saw 4490 on the Bx23 last week

[@Ihonestlydek]

Thank god the new LFS order has the spectrum LEDs

[@Mayaisbeautiful]

Yea my buddy out of Baisley Park let me know 8964 was delivered yesterday. I’m gonna go check it out later on today. As well as get some more photos of the Remaining Old Gens at that depot . Also Spring Creek is really retiring their MCI’s very slowly unlike other depots and i wonder when the Artics at Baisley Park will retire since they’re older buses . I would love to see 6XXX’s there.

[@Shunisamazing]

2:23 speaking of which, it’s advice fore the transit bus fanners to record their rides in these magnificent buses

[@jonathancho8807]

New MTA bus breakdown order Baisley Park gets 46 LFSs Eastchester gets 34 XD40s JFK gets 162 LFSs and 42 XD40s LaGuardia gets 100 LFSs and 40 XD40s Plus 45 XD40s for a total of 85 XD40s

[@kevonnivens]

Same because my favorite yard from the MTA is east New York yard because my favorite subway line in the letter family is the L train, but my favorite MTA bus depot would be Queens Village and Casey Stengel 25% but I like it when you post new next top news videos it’s just so excited to hear are your information

[@Techno-ov5ss]

Thanks!

[@Techno-ov5ss]

It was destined for an early retirement I guess

[@DannyLok2812]

@@Techno-ov5ss maybe, since many MTA Bus depots are retiring Next Gens early. Especially LaGuardia

[@MagicMike-rd8mz]

Goodnight sir . And once again thank-you sir. For finding time out of your personal time. Just to keep us all up-to-date on new fleet in MTA Bus sir It's seems to me that the Orion VII Next-Gens and O.G are dropping like Hotcakes in MTA Bus Division. Quick Question? Do you think that the MTA can get a way with allowing College Point and Spring Creek get a few XD-40 Or Nova LFS 6 Gens from either JFK or LGA Depot ? Anything is possible once the Queens Bus Redesign actually happens right sir??? Also Thank-you for making us another one of your great video 📹 sir.

[@Techno-ov5ss]

Thank you for enjoying, and it is indeed a pleasure to produce these. I think College Point/Spring Creek could use XD40s/LFSs as loans, but as an official fleet, I doubt it. They could get Xcelsiors in the form of CNGs or Electrics though, with upcoming future orders.

[@elizabethbobbio2601]

MTA bus LFSs look so different with the doors but why they changed them? They look fine with the sliding doors like nyct did with the Coneheads and all of that.

[@Techno-ov5ss]

The sliding doors could have been seen by the MTA to be more problematic compared to other door variants, so the MTA may have opted out on having them for future orders

[@ajaytransitproductions]

Y’all have 2010s. The NGs will live….?

[@user-mk6lw3ix3d]

ok they won't live for a long time tho remember the new buses

[@Techno-ov5ss]

They’ll be around until the newer buses arrive in droves

[@williamchen2104]

Opinion: LGA should not get new buses at all. Their maintenance is pretty bad

[@elizabethbobbio2601]

Why LFSs look different on MTA bus

Spec changes

@@Techno-ov5ss They honestly look the same to me.

@@Techno-ov5ss Yeah, MTA bus lol. Ever noticed that even though the brand is "MTA bus Company", no buses ever read as such? Kinda weird when you think about it...

@@dodge1515 Never thought about that before. I do like the labeling though since it’s simple and straightforward
