And the prediction is correct: the Next-Gens have seen 2025!

What do you think would be chances they will make it to 2026 🤔

@@MTABusCapture nah they should all be retired by then. The one question I have about replacement though is Casey Stengel. There is no new bus to be delivered there and they got 32 Next-Gens. LaGuardia, JFK, Baisley Park, and Eastchester were supposed to have their entire Next-Gens replaced by Novas and/or XD40s, but there’s still a bit of a backup fleet, and they could either be retired or sent to other depots. Grand Avenue and Quill did the right thing in giving XD40s and LFS HEVs to Fresh Pond and Manhattanville, respectively, both of which transferred Next-Gens to Casey Stengel due to their XE40 orders. The other three are supposed to be Kingsbridge, Charleston and East New York. Casey Stengel has 2015 XD40s and 2020-22 LFSs. But the only depot that matches any of Casey Stengel’s kind is East New York. Instead of Casey Stengel, they gave some to Fresh Pond. But I think they just wanted Next-Gens in as few depots as possible. 50 out of 60 XE40s have been delivered, and we still have training only at Charleston and none delivered to East New York. What do you think will happen next?
