Miami Dade Transit Bus Action around the city 2019 Part 3

[@lo838]

Well looks like the 2020 cng gilligs have entered service seen 20103 on the 95 Dade broward Express on Wednesday seems like NE is getting some, which means looks like the 2015 nabi's 40 ft buses and the 2017 gilligs will mostly be on regular routes now

[@MarcosAR]

There's 28 new Gilligs hitting the streets ether today or Monday.

[@lo838]

@@MarcosAR are all of them running out of NE or some running from coral way as well I know 19232-19265 is running out of coral way

[@MarcosAR]

I just got word. Today is the last day of the 9900's and most of the 2000's. I'm still going to see what happens the next couple of days.

[@lo838]

@@MarcosAR I hope that's not true but if so had a feeling it would be just a matter of time hopefully mdt will preserve a 9900 or a 2000 in the long run

[@MarcosAR]

@@lo838 I hope so too. I got home at 2:00am and heard that all the 9900's are done. 9935 was the last one, 9976 had it's rear brakes job done too. Still I'm gonna check starting tomorrow and for the next whole week. If I don't see one the next whole week then is pretty much over.

[@MarcosAR]

As you can see part 3 is not as long as as the first 2 parts. I've been very busy at work to the point that I barely saw my days off, as a result there was almost no time to go out bus fanning.

Marcos .A .R I’m noticing a few of the 2005 NABI 40LFW are running on beach route like L,S,120 and even sometimes on the 79 MAX any reason why they are running frequently on those beach routes

[@MarcosAR]

So far these are the buses from this video that have been retired. 9976, 9979, 2038, 2040, 2113, 3124, 3134. This list will be updated until December 29 2020.

[@iliketrains1233]

I heard that after the CNG Gilligs are finished. MDT will start with the Proterras

[@MarcosAR]

And more New Flyers.

[@iliketrains1233]

About how many CNG Gilligs MDT ordered

[@MarcosAR]

I believe around 121 of them.

[@devonsatchell]

So none of the new Gilligs cng are in action yet and when are you hitting Broward county?? I keep hearing that they're getting ready for 132 more Gilligs from there 2018 order and people really love them.

[@MarcosAR]

The CNG Gilligs. Yea there's a handfull of them already running out of Coral Way garage. Starting in January I'll start hitting the BCT and Palm Tran buses again specially now that I notice buses 603 and 606 might still be active. I believe 606 was on the 72 today. Also hopefully bus 20001 might be on the road by January.

[@lo838]

@@MarcosAR I thought the 2006 artics from Broward were retired

[@MarcosAR]

@@lo838 So did I . I even told one of the BCT's mechanics who shops at my store that I heard 603 and 606 might still be active and he said. How can that be!!! , those buses were retired, I told him that 603 has been seen around and 606 pop up on the bus tracker last Sunday. He said that maybe they might be running out of Ravenswood garage but you know what, I'm going to have to check this for my self. If I see one of those two on the tracker , I'm going to go and check that out in person.

[@lo838]

@@MarcosAR man if they're still around that'll be a good way to go into 2020 because the last time I seen one of those was late last year, saw 603 on the 441 breeze that time if it is at the yard in dania beach only routes I can think it will be on is maybe the 2, 18, or maybe the 441 breeze since both the 2 and 441 breeze comes from both dania yard and copans road

[@MarcosAR]

@@lo838 In other news. MDT bus 20104 is here. Is now at Central but eventually will be sent to Coral Way or North East.
