I heard on the news, Casey Stengel only has 11 of these left, and around 46 at both Grand Avenue and Ulmer Park. The Q12 started using 2016-17 XD60s, which were unwrapped. I believe Brooklyn should be a fully Xcelsior borough, and Staten Island should be a fully LFS depot. It doesn’t make sense having X3-45s at Ulmer Park and D4500CTs at Queens Village.
At 10:48 you said this bus came from kingsbridge bus depot but it came from Gun hill bus depot. Kingsbridge bus depot has 4710-4753 and Gun hill had 4754-4799
Man. Why My Mta bus videos are never be reviewed in this channel like I record B38 #4771 with my job coach & I thought is gonna be in the review turns out is not. I feel so left out 😞
Very interesting to review 2012-2013 New Flyer XD60. They are my favorite bus model. I'm glad that my childhood bus home route which is B38 has New Flyer XD60.
Good Review Cedric, I Only Rode These Buses One Time That Is On The B38 On The Parade Of Train Day So Far, It Was A Good Ride. Soon I Will Ride More Of Them Soon On The B1 (Ulmer Park Depot), Q12 (Casey Stengel Depot) & B38 Again (Grand Av Depot) So Yeah, Good Review Once Again
In my opinion The MTA's choice for Casey Stengel Depot to get these for the Q12 is amazing since now we might see several of these original XD60's operate on the Q44 SBS which is pretty rare nowadays.
Elegant Toyota Driver 4710-4899 needs to be replaced, and a 2015-2017 needs to take over New York city transit just like the Tuskegee articulated bus. I said Tuskegee because the rest are SBS livery scheme. It’s fully blue instead of an SPS a livery scheme.
The NFL XD-60 4700 are the first Generation of XD-60 of MTA and the MTA should've them to MTA Bus instead of Grand ave and Casey Stangle . For the Q-10 - Q-7 Q-53 Laguardia Depot Q-70 /Q-53 as test for 5300-5400 NFL XD-60 Next Generation . But they good Buses at end of day. But I understand that it was necessary for MTA to bring them Brooklyn and Queens to relief overcrowding to Q-12 and The B-38 and that's a awesome XD-60 Bus review !!!
Vulnerable Toyota the XD60 wasn’t the only articulated bus to be first unfortunately. D60HF from 1996 was the first successful buses after the former articulated buses we’re actually floundered. It started in 1979.
Nice review except for a few things. B3 wasn't planned for articulation it was the B1 which is going to happen soon and also 4710-4784 are 2012 models and 4785-4799 are 2013 models. Also 4799 was prematurely retired due to a fire at Gun Hill depot.
The Nx-60 first Generation was supposed to be number 1000's .But unfortunately the MTA had changed their minds about that. I am just glad that Brooklyn Division had gotten more Articulated Buses outside of Flatbush depot. And I heard that B-15 And B-82 and B-1 would've ben Artic's but we all know what happened.
