126th and MJQ could do some of their runs on weekends.

There are plenty of Artics and hybrids in Manhattan to go around.

Ulmer Park, don't think so. The B6 is a heavily used line.

Okay, so we can all agree that all of the above are not much relevant candidates....

Perhaps JFK depot.



Ulmer Park, don't think so. The B6 is a heavily used line.

I could see Flatbush and East New York doing that route.

Maybe, maybe Far Rock. In another world, Spring Creek. I don't know what universe you'd have to be in for the others to happen...

Grand Avenue Depot ? Seriously, no way are you gonna put some of their bus routes to FP on a weekend. 

I say no to all of those listed they shouldn't and never should be a weekday only depot, Q59 is as heavily used as the Q58 for example. Also the B6 also runs on heavily used levels so yea none to all those you said.

Ulmer already don't use their express routes/buses on weekends.

What part of Flatbush and ENY could handle the B6 do you not understand? What depots you think should close on weekends?

Last I checked, the X27 runs daily..... So you really cannot say UP doesn't use their express buses/routes on weekends.

Far Rockaway could seem like a possibility but I still don't agree to those especially Grand Avenue Depot...

also the B6 Shouldn't be split into 2 different depots on a weekend so Ulmer park Regardless B6 or not as the subject should remain open.

In NYC, none....

 

I guess you could make a case for YON, but I'm not sure if ECH has enough MCI's to cover all of the borough's (Bronx's) express runs.....

If FR closed weekends , the Q22 and Q35 would have such long deadheads.

UPDATE: I'm putting a new gallery featuring pictures of buses I shot. Here's the link:http://transitjeopar...te-gallery-pics .To be fully complete, it might take several months,as I have a lot of photos and I am trying to get them all into the gallery (over 1,000). Be patient, enjoy what I have, and come back each day to see more pictures

I agree with you on that, that's why I said it seems like a possibility, Although I don't agree with it

Maybe on weekends, NYCT could run the routes?

Exactly.

And as for this thread, what's the point? there's a random thoughts thread for a reason.

After reading the plan to have CH close on weekends, it gave me the idea.
