I got on one of the Prevosts dispatched from New York Bus Service (Eastchester) yesterday on the BxM10 to Eastwood Manor. It was #1405 if I remember correctly.
The bus driver asked if I was headed to the Bronx from Manhattan after I paid my fare, just before I sat down to buckle up. He was courteous enough to turn off the air conditioner just to hear me out. I told him yes, that I was going to the Bronx. He said he asked me that question because he wanted to be sure I got in the right bus. The period that I entered into the bus, Madison Avenue looked like a madhouse with tons of sedans and other cars. Third Avenue was better, though there was a Fort George that almost got too close to the Prevost that I was on. Besides me, there were more than ten people on the Prevost that I boarded. The way the bus driver drove the bus looked insane; there was a point that a sedan due to a sudden stop almost hit the bus from the front while on the Sheridan. There were many stops along Madison and Third where he just drove into the pickup spots. Whenever he saw an opening along Madison for him to get past the sedan madness, he took it and became defensive with how he drove. Yet, the bus driver drove safely coming from Manhattan and entering the Bronx. Traversing the Bruckner into the Sheridan Expressway (make that the Boulevard) was worse compared to Madison or Third Avenues due to the construction, though the Triborough Bridge crossing as well as going through Morris Park Avenue and Eastchester Road were great. The Prevost managed to beat a New Flyer C40LF #306 on the that was headed to Woodlawn Heights, which I took the rest of the way to my place from the Manor.
