LIBusdriver349 Posted November 21, 2015 Share #1 Posted November 21, 2015 Just curious because I know far rollaway does have local routes but I hear that JFK is covering them....so is far rollaway strictly express right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK Depot Posted November 21, 2015 Share #2 Posted November 21, 2015 Far Rockaway is like a mixture of Meredith Depot and Charleston Depot only thing that separates them is the fact that Far Rockaway doesn't do any type of work on buses to my knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted November 21, 2015 Share #3 Posted November 21, 2015 Far rockaway uses OG viis and RTS that are shuffled with JFK. FR has it's own express fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK Depot Posted November 21, 2015 Share #4 Posted November 21, 2015 Far rockaway uses OG viis and RTS that are shuffled with JFK. FR has it's own express fleet.

Calvin Posted November 21, 2015 Share #8 Posted November 21, 2015 To break it all down: The MCIs (with the QM15-16-17-18) are all out of Far Rockaway. The Q11, 21, 22, 35, 52 are as well but a mixture of JFK Old Generation hybrids since some of the hybrids are scrambled with JFK/FR logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIBusdriver349 Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share #9 Posted November 22, 2015 Got it I thought if you work out of far rock you only do express now and that would suck I also heard if you pick far rock away you get paid less? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafa Posted November 23, 2015 Share #10 Posted November 23, 2015 Far rock and Jfk are basically the same depot same union same pay and one seniority list. Operators and buses can go back and forth to either depot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotham Bus Co. Posted November 23, 2015 Share #11 Posted November 23, 2015 Far rock and Jfk are basically the same depot same union same pay and one seniority list.
