Neighborhood Shuttles

[edit]

The references to the Owings Mills Times are dead links. They need to be repaired or replaced. Folklore1 (talk) 21:15, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the dead links from the article, but saved them here in hopes somebody might be able to repair them. The dead links are:

Current fleet roster

[edit]

I've started replacing some of the paragraph-style text with a table similar to the WMATA Metrobus. Folklore1 (talk) 15:46, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Does the MTA still have any of the 9600 series articulated buses? Folklore1 (talk) 20:27, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The MTA press release on July 15, 2008 provides only limited details about the hybrid buses purchased by the MTA. It is not sufficient to verify much of the information listed in the table. The press release about the purchase of three buses for Shuttle Bug service was also quite sketchy, not mentioning the make and model. Some references with more detail would be helpful. Folklore1 (talk) 20:07, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the row listing 57 New Flyer XDE40 buses from the current fleet roster, because the cited reference indicated these buses are expected soon and not yet part of the fleet. The only info I was able to find about the XDE40 buses was speculation on blogs about a piggy back purchase Maryland is expected to make in cooperation with WMATA at an unspecified date this year. If you add XDE40 buses back to the roster, please include reference to a good primary source. Folklore1 (talk) 19:10, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it's not speculation. It's is the truth. MTA Maryland will be receiving these buses through a piggyback order of WMATA's XDE40s starting next month. I know this through personal references. BUT, since there is no source acceptable for Wikipedia online as of yet (which would be the MTA Maryland website or the New Flyer website), that won't be added to the roster.--ETLamborghini (talk) 21:09, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Bus Maintenance Department Monthly Report for June 2012 lists a total of 711 "active" buses, which does not include any 1998 buses. Has MTA gotten rid of the 1998 NABI buses? Folklore1 (talk) 20:24, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The first of 10 MTA's New Flyer XDE60 buses have arrived, a picture of one has shown up on Facebook, however the coach number is not 13081 as stated in the table, it's 12081, here's the picture, don't know if this can be added to the table: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4723240312029&set=a.1585972362291.2082505.1025224688&type=1&theater KSweeley (talk) 04:02, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I attended the 2013 Motor Trend International Auto Show on February 7, 2013 and MTA had 12081 on display. I inquired into when 12081 will enter revenue service and I was informed by one of the MTA employees working the auto show that 12081 will be prepped for revenue service immediately after the auto show and is expected to enter revenue service by the end of February 2013. I have added that information under notes. KSweeley (talk) 07:05, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Counting routes

[edit]

The text located at Commuter Bus and Local Bus web pages reports 18 commuter bus routes, but the drop-down box listed 20 commuter bus routes. The drop down boxes on the Local Bus page also list 4 express routes, 2 shuttles and 4 Quickbus routes. A total of 73 bus routes is stated in the text of the Local Bus page, but you'll get a different number if you add 47 locals, 4 Quickbus, 4 express, 2 shuttles and 20 commuters. Folklore1 (talk) 16:15, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

13041-13050 reported to be XDE40s, not XE40s.

[edit]

I'm part of a Facebook group that discusses Baltimore-area public transit that has MTA employees as part of this group and it's being reported that 13041-13050 will be XE40s and not XDE40s, XE stands for Xcelsior Electric. If MTA receives XE40s, how could this be added to the "Current Fleet Roster" section of this article without it being deleted due to not having a reliable primary source???

[edit]

Among other pages, namely the bus routes, this will require a significant re-write for the implementation of BaltimoreLink that went into effect on June 18th. Any and all help is appreciated. RickinBaltimore (talk) 15:04, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
