    7486 from JA was spotted in GH Edit: 7484-7489 are reported JA to GH Additional edit: 7490-98 as well. Gonna keep an eye out for these units but in total 15 units are reported at GH.

    Disregard

    Gotta remember the MTA is a state funded company, so whatever the state sees fit they'll do their best to push things for their perspective. With Cuomo out of office, it becomes easier for the MTA to discontinue wifi without political influence.

    I had to double check on this because I was thinking "Wait, is the Q1 really gonna be based out of QV or would the merger actually have it based out of JFK, making this an MTA bus route with an NYCT label?"

    "Transition time". Since someone unfamiliar with the new OMNY system can potentially try tapping with a MetroCard by accident and god forbid they get stopped for fare evasion.
  9. MysteriousBtrain
    It was already mentioned SEVERAL TIMES that they are waiting for the MetroCard to be phased out

    Need confirmation I am hearing reports of 4112 to scrap.

    1. Proposed 2. Basically a split B6 (Bath Beach -Canarsie and Canarsie - New Lots )
  12. MysteriousBtrain
    If it ain't broken don't fix it ig But an unpopular opinion would be to discontinue the B6 LTD fully with the B5/103 LTD and create a separate local line that would connect with NL and canarsie if need be.

    Which becomes moot when you have to crawl through heavy transit hubs especially with the couple routes extended through Jamaica.

    This is a general statement, but every time I try to connect to the Wi-Fi it is either slow or laggy to the point it becomes unusable. I don't want extremely great WiFi, but WiFi that works. I have a feeling that they made the internet slower unpurpose as a away to "find a reason" to cut more things, and if nobody is "using the WiFi", then why is it around?

    Don't see this mentioned but 6042 in blue/gold scheme

    Probably the same reason someone would be confused at 2 Av/125 St if they saw a Bx15/M15 at the same time even though they are completely different. I would assume it would be similar to the N20G/Q20A/Q20B and N6/Q6.

    I'm thinking he might of saw 4437 which is actually assigned to LG.

    Even as an ADA shuttle even extending the B39 east to Lorimer St is kinda iffy due to the Williamsburg bridge traffic. (Yes I listed it in my proposal earlier but that doesn't mean it's good) Also on the topic of possible Manhattan terminals of the B39 the proposed L1-4 bus shuttles proposed a layover near Lafayette Av and Houston St (near the complex)

    Reread what you posted, then look at the Bronx redesign, followed by the Queens and Brooklyn redesigns. Figure out which ones have X routes, which ones got feedback heard from, which one had a redesign of the redesign and then research what a bus network redesign is. After that, you should know why the Bronx express redesign was cancelled, and not (express) bus redesigns in general.

    Order is not finished yet. Order compiles for 85 artics in the initial order with 85 option units. 85 XD60 buses were delivered in the base order during 2020 (20801-20885), with 25 options exercised by 2021 (20886-20910) and the final 60 being ordered beginning no later than 2024 (24801-24860?). These 60 buses will replace at least 40 aging NABI units: https://www.nj.com/news/2022/12/nj-transit-spending-97m-for-new-buses-a-ferry-and-to-rebuild-locomotives.html

    A bus route will sit in traffic no matter what unless you build a Busway, and the infrastructure in NYC has almost no way to build a Busway anywhere. The B15 to JFK was already bipolar enough as is as often I would see 3 spring Creek buses before a JFK Bound bus in a span of 20-30 min.
  23. MysteriousBtrain
    The B15 does too much work for its own good. Too much delays and there's not much demand for Brooklyn-JFK riders outside ENY and riders to the . At least the B55 has service to Mid-Brooklyn, an area that struggles with easy access to subway service; the B15 has nearby subway alternatives.
  24. MysteriousBtrain
    I personally feel like they could reroute the B61 to cover the B71 to Grand Army Plaza. The B81 duplicates half the B61 as is (Red Hook to Prospect Park).
  25. MysteriousBtrain
    Not 100% familiar with bus number requirements for bus routes, but if it frees up space for MCH, why not swap the M15 SBS/M102 as well? I think the M102 uses slightly more buses than the M15 SBS but someone can correct me
