BM5 via Woodhaven Posted August 22, 2015 Share #1 Posted August 22, 2015 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.

TheNewYorkElevated Posted August 22, 2015 Share #4 Posted August 22, 2015 On the first picture, you are not alone on that bus. I have recently seen it in action at Union Square just earlier this week on Monday. It was around at 6:15 PM heading east on 14th Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-CT1660- Posted August 22, 2015 Share #5 Posted August 22, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Calvin Posted August 23, 2015 Share #7 Posted August 23, 2015 I like how 2486 doesnt have a MTA logo Also, nice pics on the Q32! It'll be a new sight around 5th Av Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetSMART45 Posted August 23, 2015 Share #8 Posted August 23, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyer 230 Posted August 24, 2015 Share #9 Posted August 24, 2015 The Q32 looking fresh with a new XD40 on it. I'm surprised those buses didn't pop up on the Q20/Q44 yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLX9304 Posted August 24, 2015 Share #10 Posted August 24, 2015 Good shot on 7369: the 4th XD at Stengal. Soon, the first wave of XDs have all hit the streets of NY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
