    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 (A)

    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 (A)(C)(J)

    Hope this helps. 

  2. 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

    I've been on 3069 before. The driver stopped at the X63/4/8 stop and bypassed the BxM3/4 stop.
