MTA New York City Bus: Prevost X3-45 Coach 2418 on the SIM22 & 2590 on the SIM30 Express Buses.

Here we have 2012 Prevost X3-45 Commuter Coach 2418 & 2015 Prevost X3-45 Commuter Coach 2590 at West 42nd Street & 6th Avenue in Midtown Manhattan.
2022 Prevost X3-45 Commuter Coach 1611 is also shown.
Earlier this year, the Meredith Bus Depot in Staten Island ceased all operations. With that came several bus moves to accommodate the closure. All the Express routes and coaches were distributed to the remaining three bus garages in Staten Island: Castleton, Charleston, & Yukon. Castleton took over operations for the SIM30, SIM32, SIM33, & SIM34 routes. Charleston took over the SIM4X, and Yukon took over the SIM15 while also getting the SIM22 from Castleton. As for the coaches, the older 2400s were sent to Yukon, the remaining 4 2700s were sent to Castleton, while the newer Prevost buses were divided among the three Staten Island garages (Castleton and Charleston got 15 each while Yukon got 20). Several of the 2015 models were also shuffled around in the process.
Routes:
SIM22 Bus to Eltingville (Hylan Blvd/Woods of Arden Rd) via Arthur Kill Road, via Richmond Avenue.
SIM30 Bus to Sunnyside (Clove Rd/Victory Blvd) via Forest Avenue.

Nice to see the SIM22 where it ACTUALLY belongs for a change.
