I got the XD60 again today, and the A/C was on this time. There was this weird whine that went off the whole time that the A/C was on. Wonder if it was the bus itself or if that's supposed to happen.

It's the xd60 trying to follow its dad's whine (Nova LFSA)

Last night I saw 7281 on Metropolitan Avenue with a flashing neon blue sign. It looked distinctive in the night sky...

Does nice bus still have the Orion V that has two doors in the front rather than 4 tiny doors? I think one bus was 1004...

5987 is out and about again on the Q44

It was out since this morning so your kind of late. I'm pretty sure it's the same driver (run no.63) that's doing the route with the bus...he's pretty lucky

7439 got into an accident at Hoffman Drive with a Truck. Everyone else on the bus is fine/slated to be fine. The bumper came off, but besides that, there isn't so much damage on the bus.

What happened?

Talk about friendships!!!

This morning at about 10am, I was running late to a JFK airport convention near the Q6 terminus. I told the MTA dispatcher about my story and I got the ride of a life time. He let me on a NOT IN SERVICE bus which was going back to the depot. Lesson Learnt-MTA dispatchers are nice people [emoji4]

The Van Wyck?(unless you mean the JFK Expressway) While in service? You do know that the operator can get in trouble for that.....right?

Yea I mean the JFK Expy... After the service road.

The needs to be a better job of training operators. There are so many new drivers and they don't know the routes. When you combine that with how infrequent some lines run, it's a recipe for disaster.

I totally agree. Just the other day, a driver on the Q10 which looked unfamiliar to me followed the Q10 in front the whole trip. The problem was that the Q10 in front ended at 150 Ave, and the bus I was in was going to JFK. To sum up, I had to guide the driver to JFK, and believe or not he got a little suspicious when I took him on the Van Wyck Expy.

Can those arctics make the fit into the lot off F.Lews/Hook Creek and 148th on the Q111?

I'm guessing yes since they've been doing it for the past month or so.

Has the QM4 always been assigned to Baisley Park? I feel like only the QM21 was the only express route of of Baisely Park.

Out of the new Select Bus routes, which one has seen the biggest jump in ridership?

 

B44, Q44, M86 or M60?

The Q44 has pretty much the same number of people

The Q56 used to have a VIA JAMAICA AVE on all of its buses, but now only some say that.

Oh wow, fire engine and bus at intersection. That bus have cameras covering all angles so investigation shouldn't last long.

It's a LGA bus right?

 

AND

 

Does anyone know what route it was doing at the time of the accident? Jus t curious

I was on bus 1708 which was on the n25. The driver had a new blue seat, however the horn was torn off.

It could also be the operator not even pushing it.

Oh no...it feels like there's a device that's not letting the bus do over 25 mph.

4160 is really slow. It feels like one of Nice Bus' Orion VII NGs

I rode 8756 on the M-30 out of 126 St. a few years ago before it went to MTA Bus.

I rode it on the Q37 bus like two months ago I think. May this RTS make a splash at the scrap yard...

[aquote name=Cait Sith" post="884727"timestamp="1466797392]Bear in mind, they have a tendency to do this on their twitter accounts.

 

That's true

6476 and 6429 have broke down on Main St and Union Tpk causing a 10 minute delay on Q46 bus heading towards LIJ Hopsital/ Glen Oaks. Wonder why the MTA didn't put it up on the delays page....
