2. In all honestly, I don't think he overreacted.

 

3. Bro, that was directed at you... lol. 

 

XcelsiorBoii quoted that part because that's what VG8 said in his original post:

1. Thank you.

2. You don't know all the nonsense between us(which I won't bring up here).

3. I don't really read many of his previous posts. Usually very long.

Moving on, what depot and what type of buses will the M12 use?

The ATU depots have it through their respective ATU divison website.

ATU?

It's an educated guess! Don't take it offensive! This isn't fact but VG8 is only taking a guess and maybe this is in fact proven or not. Don't get all out of shape!

It seems like you're the one overreacting to a general response.

Lol...you clearly said..."I'm not saying that happened in this case".

Exactly. Sometimes, people don't read the comments clearly enough.

Just report it and he will be dealt with. The takes B/O's bypassing passengers very seriously because they don't want any discrimination lawsuits alleging that a B/O bypassed passengers because of their background or any of that.  I'm not saying that happened in this case but it has happened in the past and may still happen currently, so the idea is that EVERYONE is entitled to ride public transportation.  Once the report reaches management, they'll call him in and question him as to why he didn't pick up the passengers.  He may also be shadowed for a while too to see if he continues bypassing passengers.

There's no saying this is the reason why he bypassed the passengers. 

It'll be interesting to see where 8907 is today. It was on the M4 Tuesday, the M5 yesterday, so chances are it'll be on the M2 or 3 today.

Speaking of 8907, it's on the M5 as of right now. South Ferry-bound.

I got it. Missed it the first time, but nailed it the second time. Also got 5068 on the M98. Seems like 8907 will be loaned out to a different route every day.

So, it seems like 8907 will be out on the M4 again today. I live 10 minutes from it, so a good chance to get some good shots of it. Also, 5014 was on the M35. I know RTS' run out of the 35's depot, but I haven't seen one on there until Tuesday.

Also, someone should try to get the same RTS on two different lines in the same day. 5014 was on the 35 and then the 106 later in the evening.

8907 is currently on the M4.

MTA tracker app you can look up specific bus numbers.

Is that for Android?

u can look up the bus #'s online, just a tip

Are you talking about BusTime, TTMG or something else? If so, what is the website and can you look up specific bus numbers?

The Bx29 using a Orion V isn't rare AT ALL. There's always one on the Bx29 everyday. Same with the Bx24. It uses one a lot of times.

I've never seen it on the 24. I got a couple of shots of it on the 29. 6096.

Speaking of Bx24, is it always a Next-Gen running on that line? I never see a Orion 5 out on that route

Yeah. It's usually is. Never seen an Orion 5 on there. Probably due to the 26, 28, 30, 34 and 38 using most of those. Even the 29 had an Orion 5 on it last week.

It always has two buses running due to its 30 minute headways and small ridership, just like the B32, Bx46, & B84.

Well, maybe if they ran more buses, ridership would increase.

Can someone explain to me why there are only 2 buses running on the Bx24? I see this all the time.

Then why is ridership lower than peak only queens express buses by this logic lets add a bxm12 to serve Westchester ave via the hub. You still can't explain why it does so poorly. There are many areas without ADA and do fine without an express bus. If people want faster service there are many options bx41 sbs, bx15 ltd, bx1 ltd, metro-north and at rushhour 3 subway lines. 

Why should people jam in an already overcrowded train? 

5018 was on the M1 last Thursday.

No express bus should stop on anypart of the grand concourse.

Why? The Concourse is long and crowded. Maybe people don't wanna take the or shove on the 1 or 2 buses all the time.

Add more Bx7 service for what? Just make the service reliable and maybe add a few artics and call it a day. Overnight service is not needed. The Bx10 is good enough, as it serves Spuyten Duyvil and Riverdale. Riverdale is pretty dead at night, so it would only take maybe 5 minutes at the most to go through Spuyten Duyvil. The only stops that the Bx7 makes that the Bx10 doesn't make are Riverdale Avenue and 236th, & Riverdale Avenue & 238th, both of which are close to Henry Hudson Parkway & West 239th where the Bx10 stops. We don't want more buses around here clogging up our narrow streets and causing more pollution. If anything I would advocate for later express bus service before advocating for overnight Bx7 service or additional Bx7 buses during the rush.

It's not all about Riverdale, you know. The 7 could use more buses south of Riverdale since the 100 now turns at Dyckman and Broadway.

Yes, they're still running.

Thank you. Do you know if it is day, afternoon or night?

What RTS's did they get? I can just track them.

4932 on the M2, 4924 on the M4 and 9267 on the M5.

Are those Manhattanville RTS loaners still running?

I asked the same thing on Facebook from the user that caught them on the M2 and M5. No answer.

The Bx28 runs one random weekday trip starting at Bay Plaza. I wonder when that is.

Yay now hopefully an RTS will do a run on the M10 just like old days

I doubt it. I was by the M10 today. Not a sniff of an RTS there.

9267 just passed me on 8th St on the southbound M5. Old, old bus lol.

I saw an RTS by the M3 today. Wa up the block so I didn't see what the signage was.

Speaking of Artics, there was an Orion V on the Bx29 yesterday. 6096.

I don't know if it's still running but there was a R68 at Ditmars around 12.

It was out there all evening.

Could you please not repost my stuff on subchat? I want nothing to do with that site. Hell, I barely want anything to do with THIS site!

Could've fooled us
