I just saw 7427 (ex-NYBS 1804) on the BM1 in Mill Basin.

From what I understood-- No Eastchester buses will be shifted to other garages.
The fact that NYBS used 220volt engine block heaters was the reason for all there buses staying there. Queens Surface and Command was set-up with 110volt plugs. Lets see how long this lasts to know if what I was told is true.

Don't be surprised if other 7400's show up (Lower numbered 7400's ones.... hint hint)

Or even more interesting. MCIs from MTAB going to Staten Island. I saw 320x out of Yukon on the X17C at 57 and Lex. If you look at the Back you only saw the MTA logo without the Bus.
You look at the Side it indicated MTA New York City Bus + Number.

Regardless of what kind voltage they use for engine heater block they shuffle the buses around and pay someone to do firewatch.
