I'm planning a New York trip from Toronto this coming April. I intend to fan mainly the Nova RTS, NFI D60HF, and older R-series rolling stock like the R32s. I originally planned this for July 2017 but plans fell short due to personal reasons. I've heard that the Nova RTSes (4900-5249) runs on M66, M72, and routes in downtown Brooklyn, D60HFs (5510-5769) run on M14A, M14D, M79, M101, M102, M103, and R32s on the C and J lines (Correct me if I'm wrong). I've heard of this from CPTDB last year but MTA might've retired some buses or moved them around since, so is this still the case today? What are some suggestions for good routes to fan these vehicles, good and accessible locations for transit fanning, and/or other ideas for transit fanning during my 2-day stay there? I also would enjoy highway runs but at the same time, my safety during my visit is another concern (would rather not fan vehicles in dangerous locations such as Harlem). I know I'm asking a lot but I don't have an extensive knowledge of MTA as I do with the TTC and I've always wanted to visit NYC for this sole purpose.
1) RTS's still run on the M66/72, and also the M12, 20, 21, 42, 50, 55 & 57
2) D60s/LFSA run on the 101/102/103 and also on the M14.
3) The R32s also run on the
4) The best place to bus/railfan would be Midtown ( between 72nd to 14th). Best place to trainfan would be Fulton St for the R32
Hope this helps.

Does anyone know what happened to 677 and 5987?

Not for me.There's the occasional glitch where everything goes off-line, but it seems to be up and running again.

2878 is on the BxM9. I thought older CP buses weren't allowed on that route.

It runs on the service road, not the highway itself.Not really, the Bx5 runs on the Bruckner Expressway for parts of the route.

Literally right now I see 5764 on the Bx5 on BusTime.
It was on the HIGHWAY. Is this a glitch on BusTime or what?

Male.Was the driver a male or a female?

I've been on 3069 before. The driver stopped at the X63/4/8 stop and bypassed the BxM3/4 stop.There's one driver out of Yonkers who clearly loves 3069. If that bus is out during the week and it's during the morning, I can bet 9 times out of 10, I'll know who the driver is. lol

He said A division (IRT) not B division (IND/BMT)Oh, is it because only uptown service is available in Lower Manhattan, meaning ®s must be running over the bridge downtown, meaning the switch from the bridge tracks at DeKalb to 4th Ave local will be used?
