GojiMet86 Posted October 31, 2014 Share #10 Posted October 31, 2014 Q53 split LGA/BP is one... discuss BP? Hopefully those Bees haven't been retired by then, or all been moved to ECH. I'd like to see them grace that line one more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted October 31, 2014 Share #11 Posted October 31, 2014 BP? Hopefully those Bees haven't been retired by then, or all been moved to ECH. I'd like to see them grace that line one more time. For now until SBS comes. As long as the new union contracts with TWU and ATU are accepted (which will allow routes to be moved between the unions) the 52 and 53 SBS will both be run out of JFK/FR.

paulrivera Posted October 31, 2014 Share #12 Posted October 31, 2014 Did they adjust the running times to account for the new impending 25mph speed limit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TransitMan Posted October 31, 2014 Share #14 Posted October 31, 2014 Q17 Going to Casey Stengal for Artics Q76 to Jamaica Q31 Jamaica Didn't know about the Q17 BUT it was rumored about that Q31 to Jamaica to interline with the Q30 (it worked for Queens Village when they had it). Q76 to Jamaica is interesting. RTS returns FULL TIME (possibly) to Francis Lewis Blvd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion VII 4 Life Posted October 31, 2014 Share #17 Posted October 31, 2014 JFK getting the 53? Can't see that happening They want both out of the same depot when it all goes SBS. Apparently the unions are finally gonna be OK with it, not sure if they will do other moves between the ATU & TWU depots but the 53 SBS will definitely be based out of JFK as long as everything goes right with the unions. I would imagine TWU would want something big in return from ATU if they get such a big line. I'm thinking Q60 to LGA or maybe a few different lines will get moved over to them.

NewFlyer 230 Posted October 31, 2014 Share #22 Posted October 31, 2014 If the Q53 goes to JFK, CP will need to gain a route and JFK will definitely have to lose one. So the Q50 and Q64 are said to return to CP I can see the Q11/Q21 going to LGA with the Q29 and maybe the Q19 going to CP. Why the Q29 because it uses less buses than the Q23.

NewFlyer 230 Posted November 1, 2014 Share #24 Posted November 1, 2014 Oh really I remember someone saying that Yonkers depot is suppose to close. ECH will need extra space so the Q50 I'm not sure about the Bx23 was suppose to move to CP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were considering giving Spring Creek the Q8. Since it literally ends right by the depot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
