Orion VII 4 Life

damn, CP and SC keeps switching back and forth with these C40LFs

 

* 9593 is at Fresh Pond

 

* 2073, 2080, 2096 CP to storage

The Q53 CANNOT go to FR because its a union thing. Routes, among other things from JFK/FR/SC cannot be transferred to any of the other MTA Bus depots. 

They will allow moves between the TWU and ATU depots in the new contracts if MTA gets their way. Don't know if it went through or not but they want both the 52 and 53 out of FR.

Damnnn april fools I'm so stupid right now. Like the 6th time today too but I'm not exactly sober LOL

Its JFK/FR getting the artics and 52/53. CP was only suppose to be temporary for the 53 anyways and FR is closest to it.

Also it's JFK getting the Novas now? Use to be Prevost in NJ.

Again Coach outright OWNS theirs now. They'll keep them as long as they want

Those all went to JFK first then got moved fo QV

The still runs quite a few 160s see em all the time

174 was the only Bee out today.

So the wifi at Fulton has been on for at least a month now but still no cell service? Well not for Sprint anyways...

New fare stickers are going up..

Speaking of rts...I saw a baby rts on the 4 line 2528...I thought AC got rid of those rts

Do they own that bus like Coach owns theirs? (look at the owner/operator thing on the side)

It wont be another GOH. In GOH they actually left transit property to go to the (now) Alstom factory upstate to get basically completely rebuilt.

3503, 3511 JFK to BP

 

6451 on the Q32, dont know if its transfered or not

Caught that myself. Prob just a loaner no stickers changed or nothing like that.

Right...when I got off 7278 that first time when it was out, there was this guy asking me 8 million questions while I was recording the takeoff video. I was pretty pissed that I had to edit it.

The worst one I ever had out there was an op slamming the brakes and stopping the bus as he pulled off to jump out and ask questions.

This time I got all the looks I always get then this couple next to me in the back acted like I couldn't hear em. These guys were like "this guy's a terrorist" and "if something happens..." then one of em said they're calling the cops when they get off. Like, I can hear you ya know... My fault getting on a packed bus at the Port not expecting another CNG to come for awhile, really should've just waited for the next one cause when I got down to Union Hill 7279 pulled up a few minutes later with less than half the people.

Not packed? I beg to differ. Going towards JFK, buses tend to empty out at Rockaway Blvd.

I seen standing room buses go into JFK plenty of times. They empty out at the cargo buildings

Not something people in those parts know how to do...

But anyways it was a nice ride, comfy with a nice new bus smell and all that, actually liking these a bit more than the old CNGs and much better than that DL POS. Took the train back to NY this morning, noticed they don't got that much Arrow 3s out anymore so did they retire more or something?

Coach owns every Nova they had at their depot IIRC

So I'm on 7318 here on the 139 and the fine people of centeal jersey seem to love me recording the bus. Guys next to ke are accusing me of being a terrorist and saying they're gonna call the cops when they get off like I can't hear. I love NJ... really

Service Change  Posted: 03/11/2015  6:03PM 

 

Due to a rail condition at Jackson Hts-Roosevelt Av, the following service changes are in effect:

Northbound , ,  and  trains are running with delays.

Forest Hills bound  trains are running on the  line from Delancey St-Essex St to Chambers St and then terminate.

Northbound  trains are running express from Queens Plaza to Jackson Hts-Roosevelt Av.

Allow additional travel time.

Got stuck in that, first the sh*tshow from Fulton up to 59th which actually wasn't that bad for me asides from getting packed in bad (damn I was happy to get off that 4). The I got on at 59th got held in the tunnel then again at Queens Plaza for awhile then they finally said it was running express so I walked upstairs and took the Q66 to the 46th Street area where I was trying to get. Took a hour and a half or so to get from Fulton to 46th.

I saw them run an unmarked LFS too

Hmm maybe it came from Queens that way and they turned it at Whitehall..

So I just saw an pull out of 57/7th towards Queens no lie not trippin.

So Academy is now using the D35LFs they got on the NYU hospital employee shuttle

2219 at Charleston or Castleton is doing an unusual late run on the X17...

QV, Yonkers, Yukon and I believe one other depot has a few MCIs with those ads.

3144 is LGA
