The Wave Part 8: I have a Fairfax bus question


BM5 via Woodhaven

Recommended Posts

I noticed this bus yesterday in Forest Hills; it's an ex-fairfax connector Orion V. It looked like it was run by a Jewish company. This bus came from Queens Blvd, and then continued on Jewel Avenue. Does anyone know anything about where that bus goes or anything. I saw sometime past 6:30 PM.

This will also be the last thread I will post for a while. Thanks for viewing.

B&H employee shuttle. Operated by the same guys that operate the B-110. They're also a charter bus company and a bus can be chartered upon request.

 

The bus you saw makes stops at Forest Hills Gardens, all the way up to Fresh Meadows, as it primarily serves Jewish neighborhoods. It goes the same direction as the Q-64.

 

Orion V #7876 iirc is owned by Golden Touch or some private contractor, they also own RTS #7810 for the Bulova Shuttle.

Primarily? lol Forest Hills Gardens and Fresh Meadows both have high amounts of Jews.  Not 100% Jewish but certainly on par with Riverdale and other areas of the city with substantial Jewish populations.  You can throw Kew Gardens into the mix too.

Looks like MTA and Outfront must have changed ad policies with 2159.  Outfront didn't have Ultra Superkings available, and Prevosts and Orion VIIs were the only ones allowed to have "L"-Sides on street side only.

Doesn't look right to me on express buses, not the same impact as if on regular transits.

 

And that 2486, had to take a second look after Calvin pointed it out.  Real or Photoshop?  Worthy of a giggle, anyway.

Oh okay, that make sense. I saw it two days ago (a little later though) getting off the LIE at Queens Blvd

I like how 2486 doesnt have a MTA logo

 

Also, nice pics on the Q32! It'll be a new sight around 5th Av

 

The Q32 looking fresh with a new XD40 on it. I'm surprised those buses didn't pop up on the Q20/Q44 yet.

 

 

Good shot on 7369: the 4th XD at Stengal. Soon, the first wave of XDs have all hit the streets of NY

Thanks guys!

 

As for 2486, it's real. You guys can go and try to find it, so you can see it for yourself.
