Chargerdodge9

Never really was a fan of Nicktoons (except for Invader ZIM and Jimmy Neutron).

Dexter's Lab was another favorite.

Ten years ago, when Cartoon Network was good, I loved Dragon Ball Z and Transformers Armada from Toonami.

I'm guessing Far Rockaway was damaged during Sandy?

I wonder how the CNG order would've been had LaGuardia stayed CNG and Nice was still under control

 

Well, most likely, MTA Long Island bus would of keep their order of 3G CNGs (perhaps the MTA would of gave Bus company's cancelled order of 3Gs to Long Island bus as well, who knows). As for La Guardia, they might had some 100 and 200 series C40LFs. I honestly doubt that Long Island bus of seen any C40LFs from the larger 475 CNG order.

So what should be done to solve the issue of long waits and/or headways?

This is off topic, but is the B35L actually doing anything for anyone? Back when it was introduced in 2004, I knew that this was going to be a wasted service due to all the traffic on chruch ave (even moreso between Utica and Flatbush avenues). Should the MTA keep it?

What's the point of having 4 different N22s though? They could atleast renumber two of the routes to maybe N9 or something. Or, if they want to be like WMATA, have an N22A, N22B, N22C, and N22D.

Lol for once the MTA is actually organizing old buses!

Except none of those buses a really old. I still consider the CLs and OG hybrids/CNGs fairly new.

One thing I wsh NICE would do is get rid of the N6 Limited (do they even have a limited anymore) as well as re-structure the N22 family.

HAhahahahaha.

Oh yeah, with 1791 now painted, the blue stripe isn't there anymore. NICE is making true progress now. Hopefully, they decide to paint all the buses eventually and dump the wraps altogether.

 

I think that's what they are doing.

I agree with the second to last poster, they need to make the system more unifrom in general though.

Would not be surprised if Grand Avenue started to get 5000 series RTS's.

There was quite a few on the B103 a while back

 

Yeah, I know. It was for when Spring Creek needed buses for they had sent their Orion V CNGs to Nassau to take care of MTA Long Island Bus's Orion V CNG shortage.

A NYCT Orion VII was on the Q22? That's new.

This has never really happened before (or atleast on the same MTA branch).

Both are in service?!?

You have patience.

 

 

I think that's what Aclea was saying, before his thread was merged with this one. I essentially had that down in my proposal, which is now dead.

 

 

Will this officially run at all?

 

I have no idea.

I'm good.

Hey, you're right! The question is, what's Flatbush losing in exchange? I have a feelling that it is the remaining 1996 Novabus RTS's.

That would bring up the fleet average if they were to do that. They would only have 1996-1998 Novabus RTS's.

How do they plan on making up for those cars?

They going to fix those cars. MTA is not going to let 16 good cars go to waste. All they need to do is take out components, clean them up, put new wiring and resistors, oil it up and send them on thier way. You just don't get rid of expensive, money making equipment like that. If my engine flooded with water I get a new engine or rebiuld that engine.

Besides, it will be a while before the R179s and the R211s arrive. I doubt the MTA would want to risk a car shortage for a few years.

Yes, they are running a couple of R42s on the C. Even though they're 8 car trains, T/Os have been instructed to make 10 car stops, so the C/R is on his/her indication board when properly berthed in the station. R42s have no door controls in the #1 cab, so C/R operating position is not in the middle, but 5/3.

Wow, this is getting crazy! I would love to see an R68/A on the A or C or even E!

5316 and 5704 are at MJQ

I would imagine they would get some more 1999 Orion Vs from elsewhere (perhaps Kingsbridge or Gunhill).

Wow, a 5700 series in Manhattan? That has not happened in a while.
