NYCT Bus: Assorted Snowy Bus Action in The Bronx (Next Gen / XD40 / LFS Loans) (January 2026)

Taken 1/18/26 at various locations in The Bronx.

Seen here are several buses making their way through the snowy streets of the East Bronx during yesterday’s snowstorm. Due to inclement weather, articulated buses were kept at their depots, which resulted in some buses being temporarily sent over from Brooklyn and Queens for the day to help maintain service. This made for some rare bus action across the borough, including XD40s running on the Kingsbridge routes, which has not happened before this winter season.
