Future ENY OP

It’s has East New York decals?

Baffling is not the word for this. I’m guessing the wants to balance the fleet ages and I get that. However, these buses are 3 years old and have mileage issues? I would of thought the NG’s would be out the door when they started sending some to Yukon last week. Hopefully, more NG’s and RTS leave than the XD40’s.

I’d leave the M22 and make necessary modifications within the lower east side portion and possibly extend to 14th and 1st or 23rd and 1st. Worse case scenario. Battery Park to City Hall(M22) and the Chinatown-Lower East Side to be serviced by a new route: M29.

The streets are too tight for a bus route on that street plus the NIMBYS wouldn’t even accept this.

Wow 😮. Did not see this coming. I guess it makes sense. Something had to go. Would of thought NG’s would be on their way out. Just saw 7365 last night on the 46 local. It’s going to be weird seeing sets of 73xx buses in the East.

You might be right. I believe that’s the blueprint bus for the orders correct?

West Farms has borrowed 2 from Casey Stengel- Queens. 4210 and 4218, and I believe they have 4416 from Gun Hill (on loan). Who knows those may stay for the weekend and head back. Also, any day now West Farms is due for new artics. I know 1016 is already there. Dunno if 1019 or 1020 made the trip into West Farms.

However, the M21 runs along Houston Street in which has a better market, expanded roadway. Although the train connections aren't that great. However, that route basically does it's job. What you don't want is a cluster of buses running down Canal street and just sitting in heavy traffic.

I don't think Canal Street should warrant a crosstown. The amount of traffic that flows through that area is horrendous. I'm not trying to knock down your idea. However, on any given day canal turns into a parking lot any day of the week including overnights, and weekends. Also, what type of market are you creating with this route?

Very good to know. Prevost from CSI to Bay Ridge.. Sweet. .. Great video That S42 is about a short ride from the ferry to Clyde Place.

That's very rare... Look like that driver had plenty of seniority and was able to take the prevost out for service or not enough NG's or LFSA's at the depot.. Definitely would be nice to see one on the S78, S79 or even S89.

Yes. The Thruway- Bronx Extension definitely needs a HOV lane to get those buses moving. Direct this to Mr. Byford. I’m sure he would have to looked at. I feel if you are paying premium fare, premium service must be offered.

7621, 7623, 7624, 7629 and 1 more are in house. Last night i spotted 7633 and few others parked in Queens. I think those may head down as soon as today.

As I was leaving the airport from work last night more XD40’s we’re pulling into the lot. Right now at least 15 are there in addition to more stored at a undisclosed location on property. Good news is that it’s going to be a great summer for new buses throughout the city.

Per @EastFlatbushLarry: 7621, 7623, 7624 are at Flatbush Avenue. (FB) with Select Bus Wrap.

Than it is official. Buses rolling into Flatbush. Get your last rides with the RTS.

Consider that move as a LOAN and not a swap. GUN HILL and WEST FARMS tend to LOAN buses during the PM RUSH than return back.

Exactly. However, the average person could purchase a pair of Jordan’s or MCM bag but cannot pay $2.75 on a NYC bus or train.

... and this is why there needs to be some form of enforcement when bus fare is not paid. For instance in Brooklyn you can’t take the dollar van and be short .50 cents and expect to take the ride. People do it. Sometimes the driver will notice right away, others turn a blind eye. However, if you are on a bus and every time you are trying to short change the driver that has an effect on how the fare is collected, also the drivers handling of the bus and other contributing factors. Fare evasion has to be addressed in a way people will need to get or else suffer severe consequences possibly taking away privileges.

SBS Wrap or regular blue and yellow Cuomo wrap

... didn’t know this was going on in Westchester. Too bad liberty lines can’t merge with the ha

Great. Let’s get these buses to their respective depots for service.

Those left Fresh Pond? ... and why CS is extremely short?

Damm, it's that bad in Staten Island.. No wonder why Yukon has been getting some buses from Flatbush and Grand Avenue.

To the Facility? East New York? or Flatbush (FB). As of right now 7616 and 7617 are wrapped for SBS service.
