I left CP in 2015 to come to LGA so I've driven all LGA's routes and I think that Q19 and Q23 won't pay as much as Q53 did for CP drivers. Not to mention Q53 has a lot of traffic (drivers make money), bathrooms on both ends and places to eat. Q19 has Astoria projects basically nothing there. and just main st. Q23 is even worse, crescent apartments is weird last stop, because passengers get on at woodhaven and metropolitan by Wendy's to go back to to continental ave & corona and some give trouble to get off. Some dispatchers have told me to keep them on bus even during layover. Bathroom restrictions suck at union tpke apartments, because you have to cross the street and weird spot for bus stop by garage door entrance, also at 102nd and ditmars no place to eat, just Marriott for bathroom. I notice Q23 has more detours as well. I wonder is it MTA ruling only on route swaps, or does union negotiate on trade? I know CP drivers are going to have a field day on the q23 just because of that end of line dilemma south bound . All CP routes have last stop, they're not used to that. I may end up going back to CP, because I liked it there, but I'll see what happens. Any other route swaps in MTA bus you guys hearing?

Hey guys, I heard from union and other drivers that 2017 the Q53 is going back to LGA and CP is getting the Q19 back and also the Q23 to make up for the runs they lose for the Q53. Has anyone else heard anything more about this? I have to talk to some of my other friends at CP. It seems to be a bad trade to me.

I don't see that on lower right hand corner using the Flickr app on Apple phone. There is is a right arrow and it doesn't say anything about bbcode? -

I looked at the interior and it has remained the same, no new farebox as of yet, note on glass said 7445. It's the only one I've seen in depot so far. I'm using my apple phone to upload the pictures, so when I click on the picture in Flickr it says copy url, I'll send the url to each picture, hope that may help. https://flic.kr/p/Kub4pN https://flic.kr/p/KZEHKw https://flic.kr/p/Lr4dba https://flic.kr/p/LjaZci https://flic.kr/p/LgGGUf https://flic.kr/p/Lo7Cvf https://flic.kr/p/KZEFLb -
