#4020 on the Q25...but the bus is still a LGA..loaner |
|

Posted by caine515 on Wed Oct 7 12:26:06 2015 Orion 3G #4020 was spotted this morning on the Q25 in Flushing towards College Point in service. According to the dispatcher, this occurs on a regular basis with LGA getting new buses they send a few in the morning to CP when the depot is short. I didn't realize they were. How bad is the shortage at College Point? |

CP was sending loaners to cover routes out of LGA. One would figure that when the new buses arrived at LGA the loaners would stop going to LGA and equilibrium would be restored. But it is the MTA, so I'll wait to here from others. |
