I think that basically when some of the old depots in Manhattan (FFS, OHS, OTS and HUD) started closing there were always times where all routes could be assigned to the logical depot (based on location). For instance, as you said... logically one would think the M103 would be assigned to 126 St, but they probably could not handle the number of buses required for M103 service. While the newer depots can store nearly all of their buses indoors, the older depots (especially 126th St) have lots of buses parked outside (many being on public streets) overnight. Looking in from the outside I think each borough can benefit greatly if they had one more depot. The extra depots could allow for all buses to be stored indoors which would mean they wouldn't have to have the buses parked outside idling overnight on frigid nights. Brooklyn division has been short one for years (since XT closed) so Maspeth will probably help that situation and the same with Staten Island. EW closed back in the 80s also and this is why both CAS and YUK have nearly 400 buses each. |
