NYCtrainfan01 Posted August 3, 2012 Share #226 Posted August 3, 2012 Geez guys.... Why are people bickering about where they feel the XD60's belong.... It's up to the MTA to decide where they will go.... Last time it was slated to go to KB, GH, and OH.... If the MTA decides other wise, I'm very sure that ENY will let us know.... For now, Iet's chill out and wait until we get further news.... About the renumbering, Not sure why this happened but hey, It doesn't matter to me because they are still the XD60's!

JubaionBx12+SBS Posted August 3, 2012 Share #227 Posted August 3, 2012 Have you looked at ridership stats for the B44 and B46? They have more ridership than every single route at Gun Hill and Kingsbridge. FLA needs artics. Brooklyn is the boro that always gets cheated... So B44 has more ridership than Bx12? In fact it's only one rank ahead of Bx1/2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threxx Posted August 3, 2012 Share #228 Posted August 3, 2012 So B44 has more ridership than Bx12? In fact it's only one rank ahead of Bx1/2 I said both in general, and the B46 definitely has more ridership than the Bx12. FLA has more high ridership routes than Kingsbridge or GH, so that's why this decision is unfair... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both also have a big farebeating problem and people still crowds the front of the bus to get off instead of going to the back. I may like the artics, but I don't think they should run on the FB routes. Plus off peak hours service is inconsistent and would just get worse with fewer and longer buses. (before someone says 'leave earlier'): I do leave early, but it shouldn't take over 20 min on the B41 after 9am for a bus to show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooklyn needs every new bus that comes out because it's the largest borough! Or have you been under a rock somewhere?

(before someone says 'leave earlier'): I do leave early, but it shouldn't take over 20 min on the B41 after 9am for a bus to show up. The B41 is screwed because of Flatbush Avenue, the B44 or B46 aren't nearly as bad. The B46 has the second highest ridership in the country, and it dosen't have artics? Something's wrong here...

Brooklyn needs new buses to retire the older buses, but as long as they have good maintenance, they don't need to have every new bus. So what if they have high ridership? Usually artics means service cuts because they are longer buses. But off peak hours those buses aren't as packed. 40' buses are just fine. One traffic jam and you create a backlog. It's already bad when I used the M15/101-103 lines in the past. I don't see the need for them in Brooklyn. (SBS being the exception.) Besides, how often do you ride the B46? I ride that at least 2-3 times a week if I get fed up with the B41. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted August 4, 2012 Share #236 Posted August 4, 2012 Ok then, but based on my experiences from riding artics in Manhattan, I don't like the idea of bringing them to Brooklyn. B44 with artics won't work as the road is too narrow. 40' buses are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you trying to say is that Brooklyn is the most populous borough. Brooklyn ain't the only borough in this city, other boroughs need buses too.

Guest MTA Bus Posted August 4, 2012 Share #242 Posted August 4, 2012 Most of you seem to forgot that Flatbush Depot will get LFSAs in early 2013. However, I do agree that Brooklyn could use some more artics. (Mostly Flatbush, maybe ENY) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngblaze Posted August 4, 2012 Share #248 Posted August 4, 2012 Regardless, this thread is about the XD60 not about the ridership stats at FLA the MTA has made their decision and may change it at their discretion point blank no need to get all up tight.
