Im inclined to agree about the low floor artics sounding like shredders, all LFS' s in general (no fleet bias intended)

Lol the B49 off peak in tge AM is the granny cart express there are 5 on my bus right now! I hate how people bring them in and then that results in the bus taking 5 minutes to discharge the passengers when it's time to get off.

Then what happens to a couple of the Q trains that short turn at 57-7 ave

@Abba trains are already backed up to the middle of the bridge with the current weekend service patterns

@MTA Dude yeah depending on the needs of the schedule, Idk if snowblock can confirm this but the Q trains that short turn at 57-7 ave are usually put in as N's because thats what it looks like

@MTA Dude the Quincy thing is what happens when an N switches to run as a Q train from Astoria the FIND may glitch and still think its running back as a Nancy

Wait so that means no R179's on the Quincy?

This year the BM ridership was terrible, it seems like much of the area where the BM's serve is getting mor car friendly than ever. Ik people in Mill Basin who'd rather drive to the city than take the bus just because they can. I don't know if this is a direct correlation but it seems like over the last year there has been more and more cars in Sheepshead/ Plumb beach with less and less riders

@ENY Really? I thought the farevoxes were different. The bottom of each farebox is different and the openings for which you stick the vacuum in to collect to coins is different on MTAB and NYCT

I was wondering is this considered selling a swipe if someone asks me to swipe them in and pays me the 2.50 or less I also have another question there is a random lot housing express bus mid day in long island city that could be seen from the is that a depot or is that like a layover lot where B/O's park midday

Well when I went to Stuyvesant orientation a couple weeks (yes im a freshman, no congratulations for getting into stuy is not necessary I already heard enough and frankly im quite tired of hearing it) I took the 6:45 BM3 I had the same mindset as you, I thought to myself oh ill get a seat in the front and no one will sit next to me, I got on at Bedford and X and I took the only bench with 2 seats available at about Kings Hwy or maybe K I don't quite remember I was half asleep but I remember looking up and seeing all the seats filled and one dude standing

Hey @BM5 2125 Is doing the 9:30 BM3 saw it on layover

To comment on BM5's post about routing and the truns post #3282 (tapatalk quoting feature doesn't work) the routing of the BM3 is precisely why the bus still has so much service, if it weren't for those people who got on at batchelder. I get on at X and Bedford; during rush hour the bus is already full, sometimes we go next bus please after K because we are over crowded, if you were to say make it easier for the riders at emmons and just send it up Knapp or Nostrand people would stop using it because the train is fairly close and the 20 or so people who use Batchelder would start taking the 4 or walking to the train

IMO if you want that many riders from the BM3/BM4 base you would have to run the bus via Church because about 4 ppl would get onto my BM3/4 (if im fanning) on those church ave stops

@BM5 what about the ones at UP Di you think they will be around until the end of the summer I wanna fan then

Alright ty!!

Oh gotta catch em while I can What are the bus numbers of the 102 DWL3SS

Wait are they being retired soon?

2131 in service!!! Spotted on the deadhead from BM3 just now. Haven't seen or rode that bus in forever

So then why can't they use R46's for the Greenpoint tube closure if it has every station programmed why do they have to use R160's

@BM5 You think that's surprising last staurday rhe 9:20 BM3 had Standing Room Only even before it reached avenue K where a lot more riders get on. Could it meen the ridership on the BM's is starting to rise?

I just got off ex Atlantic Express bus #6666 on an Academy charter man that thing can run

Imo the mta express bus seats are the most comfortable seats in the coach bus industry Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk
