  1. I believe (I could be wrong) Uniticket doesn’t work in Brooklyn. Although the Nostrand LIRR station is 2 blocks away from the B44 bus stop on Herkimer for SBS and Fulton for the Local. As for East New York the walk to Broadway Junction is all you need and plus uniticket rarely promoted on any of the East NY bus lines: B12, B20, B25, B83, Q24, Q56.
  2. Apparently WF just received more XD40’s. The TA needs an option order for more XN40’s for West Farms.
  3. It’s not a full snow storm. The snow will switch to rain throughout the day. However, if the weather is warm enough. Expect the same forecast as the last time = RAIN ☔️ and not SNOW ❄️
  4. Yes I agree. The service spans on the 26 definitely needs some form of an increase. I kinda find it disrespectful to the folks of Halsey Street not receiving adequate bus service unlike Gates Avenue Every where you turn a 52 is rolling down Greene Avenue in both direx. The 52 is the unofficial B38 with expanded service since the 38 is no longer Fresh Pond.
  5. Random thought: These service increases on the B52 are doing mighty well. This about the 4th B52 I’ve seen going to Ridgewood in a 10 minute span. However, there are 4 B25’s bunches up on Fulton heading towards East New York.
  6. I believe Quill is supposed to be testing the XDE’s also! So it makes sense for the swap from GA to MJQ.
  7. Thanks for the correction @trainfan22 I’ve thought those buses were hybrid.
  8. The 3G hybrids started at Ulmer Park, although they only had 30 of them. Than 2 other depots had the 3G’s.
  9. Um according to the top statement. XDE40’s will go to Ulmer Park. Ulmer has had hybrids before.
  10. You mean by way of Grand Avenue and Fresh Pond from Charleston and Yukon respectively. Correct: I could see Yukon’s NG’s going to Manhattanville or a split between Manhattanville and Flatbush (since they are not receiving additional XD40’s)
  11. Why would Brooklyn need to take on SI’s and or The Bronx NG’s? Most of Brooklyn is getting XD40’s except Flatbush and Flatbush is not so willing to give up their RTS for anymore NG’s.
  12. Staten Island is already getting new LFSA’s. They need to wait their turn. The mainland is suffering even more than Staten Island plus Yukon is due 77 LFSA’s. Delivery is supposed to start in March. Sorry if I sound a bit bias on this. But which depot is artic ready for Staten Island? Also, I understand the new congressman is trying to do good on the island. However, he really needs to understand how the DOB works.
  13. Yes. That is correct. With an extensive re-construction of Fresh Pond than it could happen. However, real estate construction really sucks especially in the Brooklyn Division
  14. Ulmer Park: B6 ENY: B15, B82 GA: B38, Q58 (GA is artic ready). FP: No clue. Gleason and Flatbush. Routes are self explanatory.
  15. Agreed. I’d send to Manhattanville. At least I thought what Fresh Pond was doing with some of its buses. Sending to Manhattan and Casey Stengel. Another thing. Every time you turn around Stengel is getting buses from Brooklyn. They need to simply get buses from Queens Village and Jamaica to make service and stop getting from Brooklyn. [Thats a DOB thing]. Surely outside my pay grade.
  16. Why would MJQ send their old XD60’s to Flatbush and they get the new ones? What u just said doesn’t make sense at all. MCH is receiving delivery this month and FB delivery begins in March.
  17. 4060 and 4061 made the trip. Fresh Pond picked up 2 more XD40’s as of today.
  18. Low key. Leave the B9 alone. Let alone. Leave South Brooklyn alone. All these drawn up proposals are only for benefit and convenience instead of actually addressing the main issues of Brooklyn service. Most of Gleason’s Bay Ridge routes start in Bay ridge for one reason only. Scheduling and deadhead purposes.
  19. Random thought of the day: Road call bus of the day: 6608 from East New York. Bus got towed on Atlantic Avenue. Went out of service working the B45.
  20. 4060-4064 are still at the pond. Those haven’t been moved yet.
  21. 2nd part of this statement is correct. I’m definitely the same way. However, the did that on themselves to get these informational screens without doing proper homework on the companies that they selected and don’t say that the dog ate work. 1/2 ass work only equals frustration and aggravation.
  22. Practice some patience. Although all the screens don’t have transfers YET and they will have the soon. You should at the least have an generalization as a commuter to where you are going whether it’s on a bus to Kings Plaza or going to Manhattan. #rantover #fin
  23. Although I don’t post much on the subway side of the forum. However, I boarded a train. Looks like the new R179 series. Car # 3172 yesterday. Also spotted a set of cars ending at 3180. Just wanted to know if the R179 cars start in the 3100-3200 series.
