Add 8421 to scrap; that bus has been off the roster for a while now.

M99 and B99 are operating in today's OWL service. Seems like the Bx99 is completely suspended today. Hopefully not that many people are impacted.

Can you stop getting off topic and start using the random thoughts thread please?

Ignore post

If not mentioned: 5571 in local wrap

Add 22 CP->LG

3975* was transferred a bit ago

Forgot about that article. Feels like because of Guse we have buses retiring more rapidly especially at the time that article was posted.

What's the current list of active orion VII OG hybrids?

Long story short, it's not just Trump's fault. Y'all keep glancing over the 2010 budget cuts like that wasn't a thing. Not to even mention how LIB disappeared into thin air a year later. And just because Biden became president elect dosen't mean the problems will disappear overnight (even with plans for re-improving Amtrak). MTA heads were already terrible with budget management. What Trump did to "stall and look good" (during a pandemic at that) made it just worse.

Storage/repairs/maintenance

Good morning. Did you know that heading over to the fleets and depot thread gives you all the up to date information you need?

5573: local scheme

Because the SIM2 kept the same pattern 24/7 (save late nights)

On top of that, 348, 350 JG to WF Both operating the Bx17

I think it's been there for months cause I had it registered as WF for a while.

@Via Garibaldi 8 it looks like they are discontinuing QM17 overnight service. Meanwhile the inbound trips to Manhattan are crush loaded to the point where there's standing room only. It's ridiculous how they are cutting such a service with almost no alternative. (Nobody wants to take the Q22->Q53->Q60->Bx99/M15-> another crosstown

I'll just leave this here:

Staten island. Couple people use it on the SIMs.

22 returned to Zerega.

Not so fast. I'm now hearing rumors that that guy wasn't even a T/O and (possibly) could be making it up.

Hold on. So a whole train gets ripped apart from someone f**king around and you don't expect whoever did this to get (the maximum) sentence possible. And how come it has to be political?

I follow the bus moves and even I feel this ain't really anything special.

As a business/operational pov it should not matter on what stance the person stands at in politics. I feel whether republican or democratic the still needs a major reform. Imo the agency was bound to be in this situation sooner or later. Covid-19 basically sped it up. No matter what stance anyone takes there's always gonna be that one crowd that's not gonna agree on how the country and this agency is run plus there's always bts action regarding how to invest the budget correctly. It's a matter of not picking the deadliest poison and providing the best confrontation on this crisis. (By the way if anything Trump is the one republican I know of that's actually pushing for the stimulus but I don't like posting on any type of platform about politics and I'd like to keep it like that)

Random thought for an extension of the BxM6 from Parkchester to Eastchester in the peak direction. New stops would be the following: Metropolitan Ave/Castle Hill Av E Tremont Av/Silver St Eastchester Rd/Williamsbridge Rd Eastchester Rd/Waters Pl Eastchester Rd/Sackett Av Eastchester Rd/Pelham Pkwy Eastchester Rd/Mace Av Eastchester Rd/Gun Hill Rd Eastchester Rd/Burke Av Eastchester Rd/Boston Rd Boston Rd/Tiemann Av Boston Rd/Ely Av Boston Rd/BayChester Av Boston Rd/Bivonia St Boston Rd/Dyre Av Boston Rd/Provost Av
