AWW HELLZ TO THE NO! WHY? How dare WF get a former QSC Bus! It looks SO LOST! It still says Q25-HAHA!!!
I do like the number on top of the passenger door and driver side window. I'll give the Farms credit for doing that. But it should NOT be there.
Leave it to the City to come in and screw everything up. Thanks Bloomy!

lol @ the guy taking the rear photo, otherwise thats a nice catch.

I would fall out if MTA Bus or LIB get CNG Orion 7 CNGs from either JG or WF. As crazy the idea sounds, looks like anything is possible...with all these bus movements.

Nice catch.

Isn't this technically a violation of FTA rules? Those buses were bought with federal funds for use of the New York City DOT routes, now MTA Bus. I don't think the MTA can just transfer these over to a NYCT depot.

I don't think the MTA can just transfer these over to a NYCT depot.

different companies/management may operate it, but its under the same entity, MTA.

when MTA ( Los Angeles ) gave away lines to Private Companies in the late 90s/early 2000s, some of the LACMTA-Owned equipment went along with it, including some 1983/'84 Neoplan AN440As. Some of those eventually came back from the Privates to LACMTA before they were retired.

I know the shit has hit the fan when I see LIB renumbered buses on MTAB and NYCB routes.

Or when I see NYCB buses [like CNG Orion 7 from WF of JG] on LIB Routes.

Then SUE for whatever financial damage you have incurred.

Transit is NOT a municipal agency and thus is NOT controlled by Bloomberg. But you already know that, no?

Perhaps he feels that NYC should have increased the subsidy to the private lines and allowed the DOT to continue to operate them rather than having MTA take them over? Just a guess on my part.
