The way I see it, only Staten Island and Ulmer Park in Brooklyn need 45' coaches. The other NYCT and MTA Bus depots don't need them.As for fuel usage I think both the locals and the expresses consume the same amount of fuel, yet the 45' coaches do have more parts than a local, hence the reason why the expresses direct operating costs are about 2-3 times the premium fare. I think the direct operating costs for the X90 when it used suburban-seated Orion 5s was lower than it was before the switch to MCIs. |
