FP 9500s. |
|
|
Posted by R 36 ML 9542 on Sat Feb 25 19:48:39 2012 Well some one has to notify him some how!!! I just read on another site that 9595 and 9599 are now at the FLA depot. In service. |

Some other lousy ass depot doesn't deserve the 9500s from here. They've been in FP their entire life so why the hell is MTA doing this unnecessary bullshit? FP was only suppose to get 55 OrionVII NGs to replace the 1996 Novas, why the hell did they send 60+ here? Those 9500s are the best buses FP has and very memorable during my HS years. Even after the terrible Grand Avenue opening moves, these buses were the only redeeming thing about FP. I am so sick and tired of MTA's bullshit changes, always screwing over FP whenever possible.If FP loses all of its original RTSs before getting brand new buses, I will give up being a Fresh Pond bus buff for the rest of my life. If FLA needs fucking 1998 Novas, take the ones from UP and QV!!!!!!!! |

If FLA needs fucking 1998 Novas, take the ones from UP and QV!!!!!!!!They have, quite a few of UP 98 Novas went to FLA and some of QV 98 Novas went to FLA... like this past week! I seen 9605 on the 41 today which is new to the FLA fleet. |

If 9696 returns, then it seems FB could get most of the 9600s, but if not, I wouldn't be surprised if the MTA moves out the higher numbered 9600s elsewhere. |

This is supposed to be an enjoyable hobby. It's not a life / death situation. Relax, buses come & go, enjoy them while you can. Those of us that are a little older have seen the GM Flatbottoms, Macks, Fishbowls, Flxibles, MCI Classics & other models come & go. Be great full you had the opportunity to enjoy them in the first place. |

There is a low floor and a high floor model and the milenium looks like a TMC bus. MAYBE it will go to FP(i'm hoping UP but that's just me) |

UP B/Os could never be trained 7 bus types and FP has never tested a demo model before. GA on the other did test the Designline bus briefly. If MTA does pick the Brooklyn Division for the MTS, it will most likely be Grand Avenue since it only has 2 bus types. |

The 43+ years I've been bus fanning, how many times have I seen buses come and go especially the 1969 Flxibles 4100-4152 that were also FP originals. They also were at FP most of their lives but were sent elsewhere towards the end of their career. |

I may like the 5000 numbered RTSs, but it wasn't the end of the world when they got moved around to UP, ENY or MJQ. To him it's like the 9500s leaving FP is cutting an arm off or something dramatic.It's a friggin bus, move to the depot that has such buses or buy one if one loves it so much. |

I could not agree with you more, Mr. D Type!I'm glad we got to enjoy the Macks, GM old-looks, fishbowls, lxibles, Grummans and so on. Think of how we felt when the MTA stomped it's feet and sidelined all of the Grummans! I enjoyed riding them in the Bronx. Think of how I felt! In my opinion, the RTS has always been a piece of crap (remember, that's just my opinion). My favorite buses have always been the fishbowls. I'm thankful that I was able to obtain (my photography or purchased) slides of all but a few of the Blitz-rebuilt fishbowls. I currently have 2 extras of the Blitz for sale on ebay (ebay ID is nhrrlives). Check it out! |

I can't wait till FLA gets those artics so can endure the same RTS losses as UP, FP, and QV. The only RTS dominated depot will be ENY. |
