How? 

Putting all those cars in one train isn't a waste?

Are all these R188s gonna be on the 7? That's a waste

Check the Fleets and Depots thread to see what attics Flatbush will be getting.

Seems to be a few coming over and honestly the B41 can use some Artics...

I don't really care for the Museum of Sex ads. It's a way for the MTA to make extra money. That is all.

Any New(er) Flyer Artics coming in Flatbush?

Would extending the B67 and B69 to either Ave I or 18th Av be feasible? It would allow for a connection the B8 and B11.

Not a good idea there. If people really need that B8 or B11 so badly, walking 3-4 blocks is bit easier than sitting on a bus through that hell of traffic

I believe Gleason has a 1990 (#0007) that goes out once in a while as a MetroCard sales bus. But as far as passenger service goes, no. 

Nice. I might have to keep an eye out if I'm in Bensonhurst for that.

Is there any 1990-1994 RTSs still on the road?

Rant: 

But im tired of the Rockaway parkway "terminal" I have been using it for the past few weeks and my god its so inconvenient. One that terminal was made for trolleys not buses. I found out there used to be a loop that went through an alley way for them. Second the terminal shouldn't have only open access to the B42 for a transfer. Its wastes peoples time to go around the fence to catch the bus. Also its dangerous having people walk out in front of buses and alleged traffic. Like who the hell even designed this?! It doesn't make sense at all. Thirdly the routing of the buses there don't make any sense. Why should the b6 and b82 make two loops to get to the station? I know they're rerouting them in the future but this have been done in the by now also the terminal should have been done way better to fit for buses. 

Yeah, that terminal is a bit too small and yes I agree that loop thing that B6/B82 does there is ridiculous. Hopefully, the SBS buses coming in will get rid of that

Seeing this bus today took me back to my childhood, so many memories of seeing these buses on the BM's prior to the takeover, never got the chance to ride one. I wish they would have at least towed the thing to Atlantic Antic so fanners could check out the bus one last time before it got scrapped, oh well.

These pics were DELIGHTFUL. My childhood memories. Had the chance to catch a ride on the Q35 multiple times before the takeover. Haven't caught ANY of the old COMMAND buses. Maybe the B100 one time when I was a toddler but thats that.

They need those buses yesterday but I guess better late than never. Gotta get Glenwwod RD done near the station and setup the Bus lanes at Kings Hwy...

We all waited 1000 years for this

Yeah, the R179 is gonna be in service soon. Don't believe anything but that fact...

*How many trains go to/from New Lots Av?

 

Flatbush has 2... B44SBS and B46SBS

B41 is next up for SBS..

 

You may want to venture out more in Brooklyn!

Actually, I was talking about Flatbush Av (B41)!!

Good to see some SBSs in their but no love for Brooklyn. Flatbush NEEDS a SBS

The return of the R32 on the B train? I guess it could work. That train is only part time. But I don't want that train to JUST have the R32s...

I always wonder. I used to used to see a few RTSs here and there on the B8 and B35. What changed? Did MTA just decided to let JC Depot only have CNGs or...

Someone please explain this to me...

What the hell is this? Go home R143, you're drunk

DEAD. ON. ARRIVAL. No need for a B47 limited. Plainly mis-management going on with that line. What the really need to do is re-instate the B78 and let it work the southern most part of the route. Kings Plaza to Rutland Road . Let the B47 work the northern part of the route. St.Johns Place to WoodHull Hospital or Graham Avenue station.

Hell, I might as well propose a resurrection of the B78 and the B40

Man, I miss those redbirds trains. The AC on the cars may not always work but they ran like Usain Bolt on speed...

Maybe this has never been brought up before but how about a B47 limited. It takes forever for those buses to get to Broadway from the mall. I can't fathom why they even merged the old B78 and the B40 in the first place...

Any new news on the T train? I love another route being ressurrected

I had a dream where I was checking the ridership stats next year and saw that the B82 was 10th in the city. Given the B82 is not a route I have any experience with that dream might have been some kind of omen.

HAHA. Maybe it'll be with the SBS coming in

I'm hoping for a B41 SBS but I guess I'll have to wait for that in 2020...

I can't wait until these guys begin service. The test runs looks promising!!
