  1. Run a search of all the buses in TransSee or some other program and see where any are located, and then to meet one of them if there are any present. Last week I tried to get one on the B60 using this method, but I ultimately got one on the B47.
  2. A new yard could be built over Beach Channel Drive in Far Rockaway if necessary, but there's already a yard at Rockaway Park.
  3. I saw several of these ads in Brooklyn today.
  4. We should take CS Depot and push it somewhere else.
  5. The B1 and B9 both operate on Ocean Parkway for short distances. It is possible to get a permit to run buses on roads where they are normally not allowed.
  6. There's a crossover between the express tracks south of the station.
  7. I think there are some with four rides for use on trips where multiple bus transfers are required. Sometimes I'll use mine on a weekday when school is closed. I went to ride the Enviro500 to the ETC on the X17J yesterday, and used my Student MetroCard to get back home because I had one ride left on it. I only just managed to get the at 86th Street at 8:20.
  8. I once did that by accident when trying to fan the LGA shuttle buses.
  9. TransSee works well for this, but you have to refresh it manually.
  10. I first noticed that at Sheepshead Bay last Monday.
  11. Does anybody know why when after a train arrives at a terminal and dumps its brakes it waits several seconds for the doors to be opened?
  12. I noticed that as well and thought that maybe they were possibly doing away with front ads.
  13. That was probably 5177. I was on it yesterday and saw it still had the LGA stickers even though it has been assigned to FB for a while.
  14. When a train passes on the IRT lines by 7th Avenue station it clearly sounds more dampened than trains passing through the station. As a regular user of the station it isn't all that confusing, but maybe that's just me. Also, if you look closely from the north end of the northbound platform it is just barely possible to see the and pass by if you stand in the right spot.
  15. The doors are locked because if they weren't it would create a safety hazard. Other systems with 75' cars also do this.
  16. Last night I went out to look for an R32 A Train, and I never once saw an R32 C Train.
  17. When was the last time the R179s had a failure?
  18. The B35 which is going to become an artic route in the future may be converted to SBS, but it will likely stay as it is for now. A B41 SBS is more likely, and it would probably also get artics.
  19. One of the models of electric buses the MTA is leasing for testing.
  20. It certainly could. The J and Z operate as one line.
