This is what the current order for the new XD-40 Flyer look like and their assignment:
7090-7155: East New York [66]
7156-7217: Flatbush ) [62]
7218-7293: Grand Av [76]
7294-7316: Ulmer Park [23]
7317-7365: Fresh Pond [49]
7366-7409*: LaGuardia (MTA Bus order was lumped into the NYCT order) [45]

Someone posted that Ulmer Park was only getting 23(which doesn't replace the full 9400's,9500's and 9600's-as they have 124 NOVABUS in service unless the 4900's and 5000's are staying)) but they were the first depot to get the new NOVALFS after Jamaica. Why did Ulmer Park lose the NOVALFS to begin with? They had #8030-#8060?

They should have put the 7100 and 7200 buses at LaGuardia instead of Flatbush and Ulmer Park. At least they can keep the ex Triboro Coach bus number range at LaGuardia.

UP had too many bus models and having room at the depot for parts was a issue.


FLA only has like 15 98 Novas so it seems like UP will get a lot of FLA hand me down 99 Novas to replace the older RTSs.

seems like all XD-40 FLyers will go to Brooklyn,
and NOVA LFSes will go to Queens. Right?

So, does it mean "no more rigid LFSes in Brooklyn?"
However, it seem like a nice reason to visit Queens.
