7201-7202 were also in service today.

7199-7200 in service today. Not sure if there were other new pairs with it, I only caught a glimpse.

More importantly mylar destination signs. Practical limits on how many exposures on a roll (about 125) meant each garage had distinctive signs which while not extremely difficult to change out, were definitely a hassle to do so you tried to avoid doing that.

They might see 2035

From motorcoach experience, Prevost had better turning radius than MCIs. In fact, Eagles and VanHools do too . It would be reasonable to expect Novas to turn tighter than New Flyers. The sad part is that these New Flyers predate NFI's ownership of MCI.. NEITHER company was known for making very tight turns unless you first swung out. Eagles had the best turn radius ever.

What’s crazy is that this is actually running on Harlem right now

Here's the updates: https://insider.govtech.com/florida/news/miami-dade-county-may-soon-seek-vendor-for-transit-data Also historic bus 1017 was removed from MDT Central Division and sent to Medley awaiting deposition to go to EG Scrap Yard in Opa-Locka along with retired 2010 Nabis HEVs and Gillig HEVs Photo belongs to the original owners, used with permission. https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/miami-dade-commissioner-proposes-bodycams-for-bus-drivers-after-deadly-shooting/3609171/ And here's the updates for South Dade BRT: https://www.miamitimesonline.com/news/local/at-the-crossroads-of-transit-housing-and-dignity-quail-roost-station-opens-in-cutler-bay/article_a72b7e27-5b48-47c6-a60b-29dd8d7d5003.html Some of the XE60s are being released when the new Transitway BRT Project comes into action. This’ll be later this year around or after the summer time. 4-door units numbered in E23500s, E24500s and E25500s series. At the time of this writing as of May 2025, 10 2005-06 Nabis Gen 1 diesel and 2 2010 Nabis HEVs Gen 2 left in revenue service; the other majority of the units were retired and scrapped in Opa-Locka by EG Truck Parts. BTW, CPTDB Wiki is an unreliable source of fleet information.

4086 is now retired officially with LTH stickers around the bus. 4121 now has LTH stickers too. 4121 has been retired since 2023 due to major rusting I noticed the rear door light was actually ON in 4121, and everything else is shut off. That’s really weird

Question of the day: Based on this article, did Pope Leo XVI ride the predecessor of Route 353?

Nope. I was told we’re getting 15 of them and letting go of 15 flyers 😔.

Recently they had two diesel LFR’s at 103rd after they came back from SS, but they have since ended up back at P. I always wonder why they haven’t got to moving the diesel’s down to 103rd yet. You don’t see as much drivers hit 55 mph on the NP routes as you do on the 103rd routes. This month, 103rd has only operated 19 DE60LF buses, and 18 others have not seen service this month. In May, these have operated on 103rd routes: 4000, 4005, 4034, 4037, 4040, 4043, 4048, 4070, 4083, 4090, 4097, 4108, 4109, 4175, 4177, 4179, 4186, 4190, and 4194. 4097 has just returned after being OOS since January. Only 5 out of 9 buses 103rd got from Kedzie in March are currently active. the other 18 listed as active within the last 6 months are: 4011 (I saw it return to 103rd after being OOS there for 2 weeks on 4/9, then it broke again on 4/15, OOS till 4/25, it broke down again on 4/25 and hasn’t been seen since) 4035 - this bus is often at the SS 4036 - OOS since december - visited SS multiple times in 2024 4045 - OOS since March, currently at south fence. Another bus that visited SS and even the boneyard a lot in 2024. 4046 - OOS since March, currently at SS 4047 - been at SS for a long time in the end of 2024, I saw them bring 4047 back to 103rd in mid December but less than a week later it wound up back at SS and has been there ever since. Must have a major problem going on it’s at south fence rn without a farebox. 4091 - OOS since 4/24 4101, 4103 - from Kedzie, OOS since March 4107 - OOS since early January, south fence bus 4111, 4113 - haven’t been seen since end of april 4116 - OOS since February 4173 - OOS since early december 4176 - at SS fence, appears to have parts being taken out 4180 - OOS since mid April 4182 - OOS since november 4184 - OOS since end of april Buses OOS for over 6 months that last ran at 103rd include the following: 4014 - supposed to be at NP - OOS since April 2024 and in boneyard 4033 - OOS since March 2024, has no bike rack and been at south fence since the summer 4051 - OOS since november 2023 4102 - OOS since october 2024, hit 6 month mark, at south fence 4105 - OOS since March 2023, at south fence 4112 - involved in accident in November 2023, unsure status 4114 - OOS since november 2022, appears to have parts taken out and in boneyard 4115 - involved in an accident May of 2022 4118 - retired after November 2021, in boneyard LTH 4172 - OOS since February 2023 4174 - OOS since November 2022 4178 - involved in accident February 2023 and is in boneyard 4181 - OOS since January 2023, at south fence 4183 - OOS since December 2022 4185 - retired after June 2021, in boneyard LTH with 4118 4187, 4189 - OOS since january 2023 4188 - OOS since December 2022, at south fence 4191 - OOS since February 2023 4192 - OOS since july 2023, in boneyard 4193 - OOS since January 2023, has been at OOS in 2024 appeared to be getting work done, but must’ve been cancelled as it’s still there 4195 - involved in accident in September of 2021 That’s 22 buses that have been OOS since before November of 2024. 103rd should have diesel artics since they are known for having their DE60LF’s going OOS consistently, most often for more than 3 months.
