  1. This follows the model year of the bus, NOT the manufacture date of the bus.
  2. From my own experiences, I've had rougher running cars from CI than the Pitkin cars even if they look worse cosmetically.
  3. I would argue to making the bus system free, but it's pretty f'n obvious not a single person would want to have that conversation without screaming entitlement or not wanting to pay the taxes necessary to fund it. And I recognize that this is a complicated subject topic altogether that can't be solved easily (as much as people like to think it would be by just throwing more police onto buses).
  4. Why put the time and money to train them on nearly 20 year old buses that won't last a year.
  5. Better to do that than open pre-maturely and have an accident that gets more negative PR than this. I do get the complaints about the time it’s taken to complete one side of the renovation.
  6. This is something that happens often on almost all routes. That and more people are using OMNY, so I would not make a judgment call just for looking at a stop for the amount of time it takes to finish lunch.
  7. The already makes local stops during the overnight hours. That change happened a year ago for CBTC work.
  8. To fill in for the Nova they sent to LGA for training. The post is in the same page.
  9. It's literally the same as the recent weekend G.O. but with the added shuttle between Times Square & Hudson Yards to accomodate riders heading to the New York Auto Show that weekend.
  10. I counted 99 with the following: BP units: 8964-8966, 8968, 8970, 8972-8973, 8975, 8977-8979, 8983, 8985, 8987-9005, 9007-9009 (35) JFK units: 9010--9014, 9016-9017, 9019-9020, 9022, 9024-9025, 9027-9031, 9033-9049, 9051-9053, 9056, 9060-9061, 9063-9064, 9067-9068, 9070, 9074, 9078, 9080-9081, 9083, 9086, 9111, 9114, 9117-9118, 9125, 9127, 9131, 9134, 9138, 9150-9152, 9167 (64) Anyone feel free to correct the overall list.
  11. The Bronx units still look pretty good and run well. Sometimes the cosmetic shape doesn’t tell the whole story. I know a lot of buses that looked bad were ones than ran better.
  12. Alright, just keep it in the random thoughts thread instead of cluttering other threads here. It’s getting a bit annoying seeing you spam the threads with misc comments that don’t have much to do with the topic at hand.
  13. Check the fleet & depots thread. This is the scrap thread.
  14. Riders are going to complain about the lack of weekend service on the 63rd St Line and I doubt the wants to put money to have the be extended and run full-length trains again on weekends.
  15. You don't need to react to almost every post. Let's try to minimize the filler here so that posts of moves are not lost in the shuffle.
  16. There's more on the Far Rock routes today. 3 are on the 22 and 35 each.
  17. That doesn’t answer my inquiry as to if the 45-foot MCIs are a benefit or deterrent to normal service on the Fairview lines. You only touched how it’s no problem in terms of managing equipment at the garage. I’m more curious as to how service has gotten better or worse with the 45-footers over the 40-footers, with everyone arguing for both points.
  18. Most likely there for repairs as those two haven’t seen service in over a week. It is possible they’ll run on loan like 4682 did last week.
  19. I think it can be argued that having the 45 Foot units there is an issue. It didn’t seem that problematic when the 40 foot coaches were there, but with the 9000s and 22000s there the problems with them may of become a bit more noticeable. This is just a hypothesis as I don’t have anything that can back it up or dispute it. Hopefully those in the know do have better arguments.
