There's an incoming order of New Flyer XD60s with the fleet number range 5364-5438 coming to MTA Bus. If what your friend told you is true, then that means the other D60HFs numbered 5392, 5400, 5410, 5416, 5418, and 5423 are affected to be renumbered to the 4800s. |

There are less than 5800 buses combined with MTA bus so that leaves some 3200 numbers avail. They do a poor job of planning ahead to set up numbers. |

NJT has at least #1001 to #1600 open and #1640 to #4000 open for the new 1,400 cruiser order going out to bid soon. Plenty of room for new buses. Plus many more smaller groups of numbers avail. |
