Manhattanville

Been seeing alot of OG hybrids on MHV routes specifically on the M1 from QV.... I seen 6448 and 6436 i think, its a loan but y does MHV choose QV to handle the routes?  And i wonder if they will ever put nova lfs as loans on the routes like they did with the M3 this summer 

Ok just a curious question, How bad is NICE bus service... I've only ridden Suffolk County bus in LI for a few years, but how horrible is it. even on a scale of 1-10?

The New Flyer 312 THO!!! that transmission it has has a great ass whine.  I wish MTA could order more C40LF's to replace the early 2000s orion cng's but they aren't 

Yeah that was me I was propsing extending it both ways; to 5av 57 st and to Trinity Exchange place and have ut utulizing 10 ave. Question where you riding NB or SB on the route

@NYSubwayBuff I was riding NB from 14th and 9th ave... It was so empty I decided to just ride to 42nd. I didn't wanna take the whole trip

All this talk of the returning.  :-) I think it would b a good idea to treat that line like minus the fact there is no skip stop pattern cuz that would b unnecessary

Yooo does any1 think the M12 is a productive route?  It was empty AF when I rode it, only 1 passenger besides me.  some1 mentioned it being extended chambers b4 i think it could of got a little more passengers riding if thats the case.  Idk it doesn't seem like its not getting that much ridership

Is there any possible way MTA will take a deal with NABI since they are a part of New Flyer now or no?

The sound you are hearing is the retarder disengaging.

That's for the diesels as well?  Like that's the retarder disengaging too? on 1014 new flyer?

Can anyone answer this question?  Does any1 know wat that sound is when a bus is about to stop and it makes "CHIT" noise.  the all New flyer models on the MTA have it the 1993 orion's had it b4 they retired and orion cng's do it.  Does any1 know wat I'm talking about? If not this may help 

 @ mark 0:16.  And how come all the CNG buses does that grumble sound when the gear shifts?  I heard its called a "retarder" or something.  Please comment.

Dude saw 6010 on the Bx3, Is that an Ex-Eastchester?

Might be off topic but can someone tell me is the M100 the only standard 40' foot bus route that also get 60' footers from Kingsbridge?  Is there another route that gets the special artics treatment during rush hour besides the 100 from Kingsbridge?

August 31st is when they running the M12 right? 

8907 back on the M4 again, same run as yesterday.

 

Interestingly, 6329 pulled out of the depot for the first time an hour ago. Either it's back to Yukon, or it could mean service.

Ugh I have a feeling it may go back to Yukon then... Manhattanville would choose RTS models to run than a 99' Orion 

Yo is it me or I only see 8907 on the M4.  Not any other line so far.  I wanna know if Manhattanville is running the Orion 6329 tho.  Kind of want a new change of pace from the 03',06', and 08' orions now.

Curious question,  just want to know why Gillig didn't want to do a deal with MTA?

Hey kinda new here but I always wanted to know how come they don't run CNG buses on Manhattan or Staten Island routes... Theyre strictly in BK, Queens, and The Bronx.  It would be pretty cool to see a New Flyer on the M5. please respond
