yes, they do. mostly when they're being serviced.

in the past there were definitely terminal interlines with the 8 & 9 at Jamaica terminal when it ran out of JFK. the interlines that currently occur on the 41 are from the JFK Q6/7/8/9 school trippers iinm

Q41 used to be based out of JFK. it's definitely based out of Far Rock. it got sent there when the 52 became sbs and was sent to JFK.

if it shows up on any of the FR routes, then it can be posted in the random section, providing the bus number, run number and route. the reason why people don't post transfers between FR and JFK (regardless of how noteworthy it is) is because they're rather frequent. and even then, it's not verified if it will run in revenue service.

I thought it was established that posting "transfers" between JFK & Far Rock wasn't necessary since they are under one management (AGM, etc)

they leased a plot of land for 15 years, with no plans whatsoever to build anywhere on the island in the meantime, and no contingency plan(s) going forward. so what exactly was the point of having a Meredith "Depot" in the first place? is it a case of they just don't need a 4th depot or annex on staten island anymore or was this another case of wasted time/money with the "powers that be" sitting around circle-jerking with their thumbs up their collective asses? I'm seriously asking... no sarcasm.

7 buses with no reimbursement fee for approximately 3+ years of service (which will more than likely be more than 3, depending on the depot & runs they run on) p.s. they previously ran in Vermont of all places. there's no way they're beat to shit. sounds like perfection to me.

it was definitely an OA thing before the creation of MTA Bus.. and it was definitely utilized thru Local 100 before the consolidation, specifically with wildcat runs & lines with split runs iinm. these days I've only seen x-runs as extras from Manhattanville (specifically on the M98) aside from that, these days it's hella rare. i can't find anyone to explain why the B35 short sign is displayed in this fashion these days. i absolutely hate it, and i don't understand (letalone care) why it was changed. this is why they're ass backwards.. after an eternity of the B6 sign displaying Bensonhurst ÷ Harway Av, they change it to 25 Av - Cropsey, meanwhile, McDonald Avenue or Av? too confusing/too much going on.. let's shorten it 🤦🏾‍♂️

the b/o could've been going on swing (performing a pull-in) been assigned a deadhead or been instructed by console to run light due to lateness. there are MANY reasons why a b/o leaves a terminal without servicing the stand. just because a bus arrives at a terminal, doesn't necessarily mean it's truly assigned to be the next bus to depart from said terminal. ask any b/o. these things do happen, especially during middays. I sincerely hope people on this forum understand that our full paddle reports are NOT displayed online via apps/websites like TransSee for a damn good reason. TransSee (for example) doesn't display pull outs & pull ins... and they shouldn't.

not really. x is not used with run numbers internally (at least on paddles) x is usually used as a placeholder. for example, if a b/o has run number 021, some operators will display it as x21, 2x1 or 21x. in this case, it's used as a placeholder for zero, for any assortment of reasons, especially when it pertains to the manual run boxes. sometimes, when hitting potholes, the run box's numbers will slip, from zero to x or from 5 down to 4, etc.

yes, and since there are more people who have jobs that start at 4am/5am, those hourly overnight routes that currently exist aren't doing them any good

having glanced the documents, i will say the Q11/21 combo is a rather pleasing development. having overnight service end at 157 & Cross Bay as opposed to Pitkin makes alot more sense. the Old Howard Beach/Hamilton Beach combination (serving both branches simultaneously) seems like something they should've been doing going back to the GBL days (much like this routing in general, if I'm being real) 😂🤣 i see they backed away everso gingerly from a few stupid combos (Q10/64 and Q1/6) ok! they kept the Q41 intact (kinda). i would love to see the service hours expand, especially with the lakewood avenue routing, but i guess you can't have it all. sending 112's to euclid 🤔 I've seen that idea on this forum in days gone by. well damn! they ended the Q44 to Fordham foolishness! 114's ridership demand via redfern projects (and Lawrence, LI) is so robust to bring an end to the Q113? damn.

"management"... meaning whom exactly? what do they consider "management" ? the AGM? GS of transportation? GS of maintenance? because with all due respect, i don't think any respectable GS or AGM is passing along info to self proclaimed foamers/fan boys. just my opinion.

i was thinking the same thing. i figured it was unofficial, i just wanted a link to a clearer image to assess. i don't know why, but i believe they're not even close to an official "final" draft, and that release date will be pushed back further.

they really have no choice but to keep JA active. even if BP or JFK weren't in Bus Co./different union locals, i can't imagine them being able to help much capacity wise.
