*R211A’s 😂

We have 4225-29 at JAM just like 4150 was. You can only guess why. [yawn] And 4230-39 started burning-in today. Added trivia 4080-84 and 4120-24 has been reunited again after seven months.

No, just wait.

they should honestly should add some safety features like PFSD and such to these revamped stations

The 2030’s is crazy it would be more than 20 years old by then. I would assume that they would die out b/w 2025-27 especially considering that the Orion V’s (besides the 32fters) are retiring or have been b/w 15-17 years. Being honest once those Nabi’s are gone it will be an end of an era for not just Bee-line’s Nabi’s as a whole, but buses of that interior. I’m not worried about how early the Nabi’s retire since there going 15yrs (in August). But what will retire them like if it’s another one of of those mother f**king New Flyers you can kiss 💋 Bee-lines diversity bye-bye. What I hope is that it’s something like a Gillig, Proterra, etc. But then your right those Nabi’s can stay here longer.

It seems like 69th and 52nd street will be seeing overcoat painting beneath the platforms “I’m referring to the steel beams” there is strange yellow wood planks beneath the train tracks, and there is some construction noise around that area. Also at Queensboro Plaza, the first LED ads are being installed

Hello...?

3474 is still in service.

One of the reasons may be, that Pitkin recently received three new R2111A’s (4150-54,4200-04/4205-09 & 4210-19 I think.)

4220 JFK retired

I don't disagree, but I'm trying to figure out his rationale here (especially when he mentions not necessarily saying that the Junction is a stub, which isn't the issue.... like, who exactly is thinking that anyway??).... In any event. I would be against doing that to the B103 for a number of reasons.... Outside of what you mention here, two of which are [grossly overserving the immediate area with the B5/6, B11, and all B103 service] & [an implied supporting of that proposed B81; or at the very least, further justifying having all B103's be cut from running Downtown]...

Probably, but that would quickly fall apart with all the weekday traffic on Bedford Avenue, particularly before school starts and after school ends at Midwood High.

cant use it no more

Is this supposed to be some way of avoiding the (would be) stark increase of buses at the Junction?

Not that I'm all that wild about route renumberings, but FWIW just to entertain the conversation, I'd use the 200's for express variants of NNJ routes.... e/g. the #151 would become the 261, the #190X would become the 290, the #148 becomes the 248, the #177 to become the 267, etc..... With routes that have multiple express variants (like the #165), the current suffixes would just be appended to the corresponding 2xx route number... So the #165p would be the 265p, the #165rf would be the 265rf, and so on & so forth....

I'd just have it run the current routing to/from PABT, but have it running nonstop from/to JSQ (meaning, serving it).... I'd say the worst thing you could do for such a route is having it take Tonnelle to 495; I can't advocate for anything having to put up with the Tonnelle Circle.... Regardless, while I don't so much mind the concept of a #119X, I'm simply not on board with this having #119's bypass JSQ bit.... This construction that's having buses currently bypassing JSQ for most of the day, should be just a temporary measure & not a permanent one... Quite honestly, I don't have a problem with the #126 running on either [Washington] or [Willow/Clinton]... The thing AFAIC is, that they run whatever number of #126 trips to Hamilton Park during the PM hours, as to not overburden Hoboken Terminal... During the AM rush, it's less of a problem because there's less trips starting at Hoboken Terminal; there's inbound trips that run from Hamilton Park, Clinton/1st, and Clinton/5th (I believe that other short turn starting point is)... What I'm ultimately getting at is, too many of the PM/outbound Willow/Clinton trips run to Hoboken Terminal.... Obviously not all of them, but I would have a sizable number of those PM Willow/Clinton trips stopping dead at Observer Hwy (and none of them running to Hamilton Park)... To sum it up, I don't think #126's should be running past Hoboken in any capacity... The #123 isn't nearly as busy as the #126 in general, so that would be the route I would have serving the immediate area around Hamilton Park during peak times (again, at a lesser clip than they of which they have #126's serving it)... Which just about perfectly segues into... There's a reason why I said "I can side with the general idea of running the #123 to Exchange Place".... - Not sure if I ever said it on the forum, but one of my ideas for the #123 was/is to run it to Newport Centre.... If I had to choose one of the immediate areas over the other, I'd much rather run it to the mall full time, over that of to Exchange Pl. from PABT... As for Hamilton Park, that would only be additional peak hour service (extracted from the current #126)... Maybe about 6-8 total peak trips max (3-4 peak AM + 3-4 peak PM); not nearly as much total trips to/from Hamilton Park like that of the current #126... Ultimate point being, I wouldn't run a service to Newport Centre via Hamilton Park; don't see it as necessary (full time service to/from Hamilton Park is grossly excessive), not to mention that would be a waste-of-a-time loop/backtrack..... - I wouldn't use an extended #123 to further erode the #86.... I say erode because generally speaking, from Union City (north or south of 495), I'd say there's more demand for Newport Centre than Exchange Place throughout more of the day.... So if you have all #86's running to Exchange Place, it'd be less useful IMO... At that point, you may as well eliminate the #86 & use some of its resources to increase #84 service (which I think should happen regardless), among other things... I say further because the route was once (more of) a variant of the #84 - which runs to Nungessers.... With the advent of the HBLR, they scaled the #86 back to Bergenline av. HBLR.... If the idea is to have a Union City - Exchange Pl. route, I'd just do away with the #86 altogether & expand the span of & extend the #82 route to Bergenline av HBLR.... From said HBLR station, it'd go JFK - Paterson Plank - Summit - current route to Exchange Place... Outside of bypassing JSQ, one reason the #82 even exists is to supply *some* level of direct service to Exchange Pl. from areas well west of Palisade....

9006 is retired. I'm not 100% sure about 7154, 7160, 7162 yet. Only 7130 and 7132 have been running the last few weeks though I haven't seen any other 2008 CLs since.

So far so gd. Doing skills( straight backing, offset and parallel parking) training at Eastchester. Preparing for CDL road test.

Greetings! The FIRST PAGE has been updated! Submitted for your approval! Enjoy! - 5400 and 5921 I'm guessing will be held as part of the investigation before being scrapped, correct? - Also, 7154, 7160, 7162, 9006 are confirmed retired? - Will be removing the 2009 MCI D4500CT #7101-7118 since they have been resurrected. Since it's only 15, which buses were scrapped a while ago. I know 7109 and 7116. I'll leave those on the list.

Hi My Name is Brandon Tate, I don’t want the NABI’s to be replaced any time soon because it’s still reliable and it’s still in best condition although it has the older style interior like the Orion’s has, but the New Flyer’s has the newer style interior, the NABI’s could last until the late 2020’s through early 2030’s, that’s probably the time it’s going to be replaced, I don’t want them to retire at all, find out for me, and respond to me back right away. Sincerely, Brandon Tate
