If my prediction of a 50_50 split comes true, then the remaining 5 garages would qualify to receive an option of 200 buses, meaning every garage would have some new buses. Quote

Tbh FG, 103rd and NP are retirement homes for 40fts. 103rd should get just enough to cover 29 and 28 other than that those 3 garages are pretty gentle on 40fts due to the fact that whatever 40ft routes those 3 have being either feeders or something that doesn't deadhead a lot {or as a rush heavy route gets a of rest for midday} (22 and 36 are obviously exceptions but 22 only uses standards in the mid day.) 77th, 74th, C and K should get the newest since they have a higher base service and PM requirement. 103rd and NP needs new/fresh ARTICS cause that's what tends to get dogwalked the most from those garages. K imo tends to stay out west and as a limits replacement needs to be trading buses out constantly to balance out milage since it's artics are mainly rush only and the rest of it's downtown routes can deadhead down streets and therefore not as taxing on the engines.
