  1. Apparently, said unit is somewhere in Jersey. Last checked.
  2. So, how do you address the Sheepshead Bay Station stop for the B49? Personally, the B49 really needs to be left alone.
  3. If I was a bettor in this situation. I could see East New York getting bumped out of this and for not just only because of the construction in lieu at the current time.. Just some observations I've noticed that when 4965 and 4966 were at Grand for about a month those buses never made the trip to East New York (unless I'm wrong and willing to take accountability) those units went into revenue service only a handful of times while at Grand. So, my guess is the following: GA > MQ > KB > CH. Don't know which order the assignments may be. However, I can see EN being out.
  4. Dead on arrival.. You don't need Sheepshead-Far Rockaway bus service.. It's overkill. Sorry. I don't know if it would be best to send the Q44 to BX High School of Science/Lehman College. Fordham Plaza seems a bit suitable with better connections including Metro-North. This goes to show that the MTA doesn't listen to their commuters. This whole re-design plan has been boiled down with politics. You even have the transportation chair at the city council essentially giving it a thumbs down because of the coverage that is being provided in Rosedale with more lines, meanwhile little to no coverage in Far Rockaway. The MTA fumbled on alot of good opportunties to expand bus service into Nassau County including introducing service into North Shore University Hospital (Lake Success) and expanding service into Elmont.
  5. There are several Flatbush XD60 artic units (2017) that currently either have no screens or just one screen at the rear component of the bus.. Are those screens receiving an upgrade or the buses themselves are due for an overhaul?
  6. Ahh got it.. Than mayor copy cat went along with it and boom here we go. Since, I work in the vicinity of the area. Traffic is gonna be horrendous and there's absolutely NO parking on Livingston in both directions and since Schermerhorn Street is one direction (Eastbound Boerum to Flatbush) Parking in that area is gonna get very stupid.
  7. First off, what was the previous Livingston Street Plan? This new plan is just worse and it starts on Tuesday 11/14.
  8. That unit has since returned back to Yukon Depot.. Unit was a loan earlier this afternoon driven by a Yukon Operator.
  9. I don’t know if this was reported or not. 7182 is now assigned to Grand Avenue with decals. Spotted on the B62 this morning.
  10. Gotchu. I think the other mess is with the B2. Why take away Marine Park/Midwood/Kings Plaza bus service. In all fairness by taking away that layer of service you lose the B31 interline
  11. …….. Just yet I hope the Brooklyn delegation gets it right to send letters to the MTA to re-do the design. AT WORSE: B49/68 swap is completely horrible even though there’s no depot swap. Also, B48/69 swap also horrible. The talked about B15/B55 swap. Also, no crosstown Ridgewood/Maspeth to Downtown Brooklyn SBS that was widely talked about.
  12. If enough people complain about the re-design it could get thrown in the garbage just like the Queens design.
  13. The real benefits for a B44+ going to KCC would be people along Empire Blvd, Church Ave, Newkirk/Foster/Junction and points towards Sheepshead. The real KCC bus is the B49. There’s no need for a Williamsburg bound bus going to KCC even when school in session. HOWEVER, should a B44 go to KCC let it be the SBS versus the local. Also, B49 needs to be left alone. No need for redundancy service for Coney Island via Bed-Stuy. You already have the B74, B82, B68, B36 and to an extent B1 and B4. Throw the whole Brooklyn re-design in the garbage.
  14. Something tells me that that B44 proposal to Coney Island Hospital will more likely get canned. There’s enough service provided on the B1, B4 and B68. Given there’s enough service at that corridor between Sheepshead Bay and Coney Island Hospital. Also, if I’m a bus rider between Williamsburg and Coney Island Hospital I’d scream hell for this. Honest truth, your looking at a disaster between Sheepshead Bay and Coney Island with no viable solutions or alternatives.
  15. 1226 not retired as of yet. Farebox is intact. However, bus is OOS for maintenance repairs. Parts from this unit are also intact. Nothing is removed.
  16. B47: Flatbush (Original) former B78. Than East New York took over for a bit before it's transfer back to Flatbush (before going to Grand Ave officially when Grand Ave opened)
  17. Those B47 short turns to Flatlands are rarely used.. Even when Flatbush and East New York had the route.
  18. I think some of those units are getting washed real good.. No repaint.. Aren't they supposed to be scrapped as soon as next year 2024 or early 2025..
  19. No HOV lane on weekends for the BQE & SIE...
  20. The new class of MTAPD & NYSP once they come out the academy most will be stationed in NYC to provide those additional services. By default NYPD TD bureau is supposed to do this along with eagle team. From some recent observations I've seen NYSP patrolling in Brooklyn and literally spending the whole day throughout the borough. Usually NYSP is patrolling the Belt/Prospect/BQE/Verrazano Narrows Bridge area looking for speeders and E-Z Pass violators.
  21. The actual location was on Flatlands and Louisiana Avenues on the B82 heading towards Coney Island. Flatlands Avenue and Livonia Avenue don't intersect at all.
  22. Both buses are NOT retired at this time.. Both are sitting in the back of the depot in line up position to be in revenue service as of this afternoon.
  23. copy that. As a far as this list goes. If there's no real need for conductors between now and the 2/14/2024 expiration date will they mostly call people who requested to be re-certified back to the list and prolly leave the rest of the list alone. I know there's a OC test for filing in June (correct)?
  24. I'm in the 9000's and didn't receive a canvass letter for the cleaner position via Conductors exam.. Although, the list has been extended for another year until 2024. Who knows if TA will still use this list to canvass people from the 8000's to the 10xxx's.
