Q113 LTD

I saw more station intercoms being installed along Fulton St . They started from Grant Av, and I saw some at Euclid Av.

They think this is some kind of game and it is not.

I was going through some stuff in my old box full of old junk that is few years old and I found this: Probably nothing special.

Check this out: so funny

I remember riding a R46 on the years ago. I only rode it like 2 or 3 times and I was hoping to see more of them but that was way before the R160 showed up on that line. It was very very rare to see an R46 on the since it was full with R32s.

I remember I used to see cameras on RTS few years ago. What happen?

My first time seeing that too. This site is changing a little bit. I have not been on site for like 2 days or so.

QM17 - Passengers about to get off.

Any suggestion of what could a R179 look like or it is too early?

Some are terminating at Euclid Av due to rail condition at Grant Av. Everything is fine now, just delays.

I saw a lot of D60HF's on side of the road near JFK Depot. I was thinking why they are there. Most likely they can't fit in the lot with the rest of the Orion Vll, Orion Vll NGs and some RTS(if im not mistaken). I really miss the D60HF when it used to ran on the Q113 years ago.

When is Baisley Bus Depot ever going to get these new buses? Probably next year. I have been waiting for a long time. I have been on the Nova LFS, articulated version & C40LF. XD40 & XD60 I never been on.

I left Manhattan around 3pm before the signal problems began at WTC and Chambers St. By the time I got to Far Rockaway around 4pm, I got the notification from my app about the signal problems. I would of hear a lot of commotion at Chambers st if I had got to the station around 4pm. Also n/b ran express from Euclid Av to B'way Jct around 1:30pm because of debris on the tracks at Nostrand Av.

I notice that the Q22 has some RTS marked with " New York City Bus".I also saw one Orion Vll NG on the Q22. If I get the change to see it again, I will take a picture.

I was home at that the time when the was suspended and the went local from Euclid Av to Hoyt. I take the all the time from Far Rockaway to Chambers St. Today, the Broad Channel Bridge was stuck open for 10 minutes. I got a notification like 3 minutes later after the conductor made an announcement. You should try out this app call "My MTA Alerts Mobile". You will receive automatic notification regarding to service changes, delays & planned work. Or you can try "NYC Transit Status", which is similar to the other app but instead of receiving notification automatically, you can choose what subway line, RR or bus you take everyday and you will see the information.

Happy birthday MysteriousBtrain.

I downloaded this app called "NYC Transit Status" developed by David Waring. The app is really accurate. I looked at the service changes and it seems good. I also looked at the service changes on mta.info and compare to the app and the results are the same. I had double check to make sure the info was correct. Whatever it said on mta.info, will appear on NYC Transit App. In the app, it has Subway, bus, Metro North Railroad, Long Island Rail Road & MTA Bridges and tunnels. I had like two transit apps on my phone, NYC Bus Checker & TripGo. And now to make it my third app, NYC Transit Status. I have Desire 510 btw since last November. https://www.davidwaring.net/

Would be cool if they have a 7-day forecast weather display on the small tv screen on R160s.

Sorry, I didn't realize my copy and paste came out wrong. Just ignore that first reply. Can't even edit since I don't have permission. Here is the correct one I was meant to send: Yes.

You know what, I was watching GOTHAM and one of the scenes I saw was an R68 covered with graffiti. I was enjoy watching SVU. I notice a R160 in the background with a cast member name Peter Scanavino in the foreground during the theme song.

So I saw your video riding the ex-foothill, how do you feel about the seats? Does the suburban seats feel comfortable?

I was on the going home in Far Rockaway and at 88 St Boyd Av, I saw writings on that big black box that was on the platform. Just can't believe that the spend millions to renovate stations and yet, those dam high school kids write on the walls with permanent markers and the has to paint over it.

I am curious to know what would a Ex-Foothill Orion V CNG look like if it was painted in NICE color scheme instead of the old orange and blue stripes that are on all current Orion V CNGs. Since Orion Vll NGs are in the new NICE color scheme look, I will think that whenever they order new buses, I am sure it will be in NICE color scheme, while all the 2002 Ex-Foothill Orion V CNGs will have the old orange and blue stripes like the rest of the current Orion V CNGs. I also notice that Foothill Transit's Orion V CNGs has bright white and blue stripes, while their new buses has a unique Foothill color scheme like a blue and green wave on the side.
