8540 QV to CS Currently on the Q44

Queens Village occasionally does some of the overnight runs on the Q44. It’s still a QV bus.

For these 2002s at CP, which route is the common to find these buses, and which time does these buses appear? I know they can appear randomly, especially on different schedules.

They can show up on any route at any time, even the handful of super express runs on the QM2/5/8/20. You’ll definitely see them running during rush hours, but occasionally one might show up during the weekends or off-peak hours on weekdays.

Shit. I dunno why it put XD60 instead of XD40.

Also, I dunno why that's in my Gboard autocorrect.

 

Edit: lemme tag @Bill from Maspeth in this reply.

To answer your earlier question though, they’ve been running the SBS XD40s on the B41, B2, and B31 since FLA replaced those XD40s with the articulated buses on the B46 SBS.

You’ll only really see them on those three routes since FLA wanted to avoid putting them on the B44, 46, and 49 (so folks don’t accidentally get on thinking they’re the B44 SBS or B46 SBS).

I have a Customer Service Rep. in my group that responds on Twitter. I asked them how the Eagle Teams check if you paid with OMNY on SBS. Apparently, they have a scanner they use and you tap your card for them to check that you paid. 

That scanner still works if you use your phone, right? I tend to use Apple Pay when I take the subway / local bus and haven’t used it on the SBS routes yet.

It’s back at JFK, it’s on the Q52 SBS at the moment.

Confirmed at CP, don't know why it's there though

#6235 is currently running on the Q52 SBS.

Are the new 1300s being used every day? I know there are only a handful of them so far, but other than the time I caught 1300 on the QM6, haven't seen them on any other roues or on the tracker when I take a look at it. 

Not everyday.

Last week, #1302 and #1303 stayed at the depot (before today they were last seen in service on the 14th and 15th respectively on the QM1) while only #1300 and #1304 went out. Today, #1302 and #1304 were out during the PM rush on the QM35 and QM2.

I’d assume once more of the Prevosts start arriving we’ll see them being used more often and more frequently. But when the 4 Prevosts at CP do go out, they show up on any route and usually during rush hours, though they have made a few late night and weekend runs.

So 7112 is in Manhattan, running via 23rd Street, with passengers in it. I don't know what to say anymore.

That’s gotta be a training bus out of East New York. 

^^ this. They regularly send buses from Brooklyn and Queens to Manhattan for driver training. A few years ago they sent an XD40 over to Harlem, and they regularly have several buses (I usually spot Orion Next Gens) from the outer boroughs in Midtown driving around the area for the purpose of training operators. I remember once seeing a couple of Next Gens from Jamaica, Queens Village, and Casey Stengel over by 14th Street and 3rd Avenue, all being used for training.

There's really a order for only 25 40FT buses for MTA Bus? That's it? lol. All those OG hybrids in MTA Bus and they only order 25 new buses for MTA Bus.

 

 

 

Looks like MTA Bus is gonna get a whole bunch of hand me down NGs from NYCT dumped on them, oh well, sucks for them. 

I don’t think those 25 buses were ever meant to replace the Old Gens... I remember hearing a while back (sometime around 2017-2018) that MTA Bus would be getting 25 buses (presumably XD40s) and they would be sending them all to Eastchester. This was around the time that ECH still had the RTS’ so I wouldn’t be surprised if the plan to send all 25 there has changed, but I guess we’ll find out in the coming months.

Was it on the 35 or the 36?

35, driver is alive FYI.

So theres currently an XN60 hanging off of University and El Grant Highway..(no passengers on the bus, but 12 people got hurt, don't know how it happened).

Driver was taken out on a stretcher FYI. Not sure in what condition but they’re alive.

361, 362. Is there confirmation those buses move to West Farms from Gleason?  

361 is currently on the B8, so it’s still at JG.
362 was last seen on the B43 almost 18 hours ago so unsure about that bus.

Has anyone seen 0022? It hasn't been on a route since December 31st!

19 minutes ago, Xn40Bx17 said:

0022 is most likely at Zerega Or Kingsbridge.

It’s at Zerega as per the last TTMG roster update on the 7th.

45 minutes ago, Future ENY OP said:

Not as of yet. Bus still reportedly at Gleason. Bus was last out on Saturday. 

It was actually out on the Bx46 five hours ago.

Adding on to the new schedule debacle, they separated the Bx1 and Bx2 schedules... the Bx1 has the new format and the Bx2 has the old one, but both of the maps on the schedules show the Bx1 AND Bx2.

I don't know if this has been asked before but why is there 1 MCI D4500CT in both Eastchester and Yonkers Depots (numbered #2247 and 2248)?  

1 hour ago, Via Garibaldi 8 said:

Probably an error... 2247 and 2248 are both at Yonkers Depot and have been for some time now. I get one of them on occasion, so I know they're there.

Actually, 2247 was sent over to Eastchester a few days ago (sometime around the beginning of this month), and 2248 is still at Yonkers. They were both at Yonkers before then.

Some bus numbered "1111" is running on the M57... anyone have any idea what that actually is? There's currently no 1111 in the system to my knowledge.

5568 is now in the local scheme.

4236 (B82 today), 7802 (maybe) & 7698 (B83 couple days) have readers. I think there's more out of ENY that has readers as of this month.

That was a former West Farms bus, so that unit probably got those readers while it was still up in the Bronx. Wouldn’t be surprised if 7697 and 7734-7737 also have readers, as those were also sent to ENY from WF.

Well, looks like Nova isn't exempt from having problems. 22 is currently having a ton of electrical problems and won't start. It was last in service 6 days ago. This is not a "lolkbscreweditup" thing.

Wasn’t 22 in service this morning? It was tracking on the M100 on BusTime and went out of service roughly 3 hours ago.

@Union Tpke while on the topic of closed station entrances, I will never understand why Bedford Park Blvd is the only station on the Concourse line with an exit to an underpass, and then another random exit at 203rd St. I know it used to have a full length mezzanine, but why was it built this way?

Kingsbridge Road also has an entrance to an underpass as well, along with two other entrances at the street level (Kingsbridge and E. 196th)

288 has a reader set up in the front, nothing in the back tho

Just passed by a B49 Next Gen Orion VII model with the destination "Church Av" and another B49 behind heading to Bed-Stuy at Ocean Av and Av. R 1 hour ago. Seems that school trippers have resumed. 

They’re out on the Bx1, Bx9, M11, B16, and B63 as well, all with their regular school trippers.

I don’t trust web/wiki sources that I find randomly.  

The link is: https://mtanyctransitfanon.fandom.com/wiki/Historical_MTA_Regional_Bus_rosters_(2005-2015)_(mtamaster_edition)

But, is any of this info true: 2005-2006 - MTA bus is formed over the years, and as a result, merged 9 different private companies into one. These buses were gained from the companies and renumbered to reflect the change:

1995 Fixible Metro E 40102-4D:

1550-1599 for Queensboro (Q101, Q102, Q103, Q104, Q105, QM1, QM1A)

1600-1629 for Eastchester (Bx23, Bx70, Bx72, BxM6, BxM7, BxM7A, BxM7B, BxM9, BxM10:

1630-1649 for Williamsburg (B102, B110, BM10, BM11, BM12, BM15)

Can anyone identify: 1995 Fixible Metro E 40102-4D buses - did they exist on an official MTAB roster? What private operators did they come from? Did they ever run for MTAB?

Was there a Williamsburg depot, and where was it located?

what is the bx70, bx72,  b102, q105.

That’s a fan made site. It’s not an official roster whatsoever.
