  1. Aaandd Manhattan gets screwed again with the new buses... what a shock
  2. Thats basically what's gonna happen once it's all done
  3. Not quite yet, after they finish merging all the systems and all that between MTAB and NYCT they'll be doing that but I hear the new brand for both will be MTA Bus. All of the RTS at MTA Bus now came from NYCT and they don't usually bother changing the name so that's why you see NYC Bus still on MTAB buses, then there's a few hybrids that got painted with NYC Bus by mistake.
  4. There's a new CNG behind me getting on the Parkway from 9 right now. Can't get the number just yet but it has a Howell sticker already, looks like they're more proud to get these than the DesignLines lol
  5. Then Route 9 would be up in arms about their already high tickets going up to Academy prices lol
  6. Not seeing the new CNGs out but I am seeing Academy doing alot more PM runs on the 130/2/6/9.
  7. By federal law this site can't let you on here knowing you're under 13... just sayin you really shouldn't have said that.
  8. I don't know why it'd be listed at JFK even if SC is loaning again. They can't fuel them there or nothing, obviously they're still SC buses and can end up running for SC or getting loaned to JFK any day.
  9. They're still around. Lot of em were out on the AM rush Friday morning when I was coming back to NY, didn't see any new 7200s except 7278 on BusTime when I woke up but I didn't get out to 9 to make it on time. Was 7279 the only other 1 in service at Howell on Friday morning? Are the other ones in service or just there?
  10. I don't think they do the same runs every day. It runs on whatever driver pulls it out's run.
  11. I didn't really see any today in Jamaica or Green Acres so idk what they're doing with them. The Foothill O5s might be their replacement.
  12. MCI delivers damn fast. Their last MTA order took them about a month to get all 50 or so units here.
  13. The Orion Vs (at least the oranges) got the new Clever Devices now. GPS should be online very soon...
  14. Does Foothill use Clever Devices? If they're not in the bus those will have to be put in as well, then the MTA farebox, orange paintjob, etc.
  15. Anyone who uses Bergen Street on the can you get the machine number of the left most cash Metro machine on the uptown side by the booth? Damn thing took my money and wouldn't even print a receipt and I'm gonna need that number for the claim form
  16. They're not cutting back on the new bus order now cause of that are they?
  17. Do the LFS have colored signs too? 1240 on loan to MCH for the M60.
  18. That 111 is something else. I've never seen an MCI that full before... I was too far back in line for one bus at Jersey Gardens (where it was full with standees to the front) and had to wait for the next one, the driver didn't let standees in and left an easy full load behind and he only came 10-15 minutes after the first bus left. They need to have that shit run load and go from the mall after 3 during the holidays. When the first bus left I was 1 of 5 or so people that got left behind and in 5 minutes a full MCI load was behind me, then like I said by the time my bus pulled out there was another full load left behind. That place is a mess, the bus is a mess, never seen anything like it. On a side note, that Coach USA is a shit operation. Waited a few buses going to Jersey Gardens in the morning at the Elizabeth train station to see if I could get a RTS (31557 left on me right when I got off the train), sometimes it was half an hour between buses and 3-4 would show at once! I swear it felt like they purposely bunched the buses. In the end it was too cold to keep standing around and the buses were so unpredictable I got on one and left for the mall. They need GPS I swear...
  19. Oh boy you mean the railroad vigilantes get to report thisguy/bother the NYPD again?
  20. GPS. The Orion Vs should be getting them too, if they don't they won't be trackable on the GPS system.
  21. The REASON and only reason MTAB gets city money is because the city subsidized the PBLs and the MTA would not have done the takeover without the city paying for it.
  22. Yes than I can walk onto the street pass the turnstile and get in the stop area lol
