  1. Got off a B12 that short turned at New York av yesterday afternoon - News to me that the B12 even had them.

     

    Lot of livid people on that bus... Normal crowd gets on b/w Alabama & Ralph, couple pickups & dropoffs here & there b/w Ralph & Utica, but all of a sudden, the b/o starts telling (potential) boarding pax at Utica that New York av is the last stop... He does this as the B12 that was in front of us, just pulls off... So you had the people that boarded b/w Alabama & (the stop before Utica) wanting to xfer over to the bus that just pulled off.... People wanted the b/o of the bus I was on to "call" the b/o of the bus in front.... Luckily (for them) there were about 4 or 5 people waiting to board at the next stop (schenectady/lefferts)... We pull up behind that bus, and I'd say about 20-25 people or so got off to xfer over to it.... Needless to say, that bus (an xcelsior, if anyone cares... lol) left crushloaded.... The RTS I was on, only had about 10 ppl. left on it....

     

    Meant nothin to me, since I get off at Albany/clarkson (well before NY av).... I'm mentioning this because I found the whole situation to be odd.... When I boarded at Alabama, the bus was signed as going to Ocean av (like normal)... When I got off at Albany/Clarkson, it was signed as New York av... I wonder when along the way the destination sign was changed, if the b/o knew from jump that the bus wasn't going the full distance, or what....

    I was the driver of the excelsior lol I was like what is going on, I thought that console had put him out of service or something but I see that he keeps going, I have experienced operators put peopleoff the bus just because they can, so I thought the rts operator was playing that game, but then I saw that they had turned him short.
