Wasn't aware that Coach USA has timetables for ONE (Orange Newark Elizabeth Bus Inc) bus lines (the 24, 31, and 44):

you can (or maybe it's *could* now) find printed copies at newark penn alongside the njt ones

I'm no expert, but I think the
's acceptance facility is Zerega.
I might have misspoke in that quote. It's out in Secaucus getting some sort of work done, but I'm not entirely sure if that counts as an MTA acceptance facility.

Same with the buses from College Point that were up there yesterday.
Were those cruisers to help with express service or c40lf?

Looks like NJ Transit is going to retire at least 19 Neoplans beginning on May 1

Does anybody have a listing of which buses are out of service or retired from the current section? I might try and update CPTDB for MTA NY buses.
?I’ve been editing the roster such that every bus that is no longer rostered is noted as such.

Q32 to 48th and Queens
There’s always the TTMG page with the sign codes on it. It’s out of date but there’s plenty of old short turn codes on there

20802 was tracking out in st. Cloud, MN yesterday

What’s especially concerning here tho is that there appear to be paper signs on there for the n22 and n24....
hope it’s never come to that ...

It takes the n20 two hours to travel between Hicksville and Flushing.
The n22 takes 90 minutes and n24 takes 98 minutes between Hicksville and Jamaica.
NICE would have to bring the n20x run time to 90 minutes to work.
Not necessarily, the only reason someone would ride the full n20X would be to go to Flushing. The 22 and 24 only go to jamaica, so if you want an accurate comparison, add in the walking transfer + ride time of the q44+ (or q17 if you prefer) up to flushing...

It’s a shame that all of these cancelled orders would have been *far* more interested to ride, see, and fan than the orders that took their place.
that’s just me though...

Artics run (somewhat) consistently on the BL-5, which I don't understand....
Idk, one time I was hanging around Getty Square and all the off peak trips were using artics but as soon as the evening rush happened, all those artics disappeared and the 5 was seemingly 100% 40 footers...
I'd argue the 7 is pretty consistently artics but I'm not local to Westchester so I can't say that with any certainty..

Does the mta not run artics at night anymore? I’ve been tracking a bunch of routes for the hell of it and I couldn’t help but notice how every artic route i tracked was 100% 40 footers, even the sbs routes

The fleet was recently changed to larger buses, and rerouted over to LIJ. The old circulator route didn't really serve any points of interest. It gets decent usage among HHAs in the area.
Wait, they use 40 footers on that route now?

The Q103 has to be the most irrelevant route in all of the MTA. I know there are other routes that are kinda out there, but what's the purpose of the 103. I know it's not to far from Queens Bridge Projects and stops by the
, but other than that, that bus is just there. If you look up on Google Q103 Bus. The 1st image your gonna see 100 series Orion 5 from Like a decade ago. And a few more pics, but not a whole lot. It operates on over 30 minute headways, so yeah... most irrelevant route in my opinion.
Feeder to the subway and serves numerous busy commerical districts and residential areas. It's not exactly random or irrelevant
As for pictures, I've fanned the route numerous times over the past three years and I know I'm not the only one.

The M79 is another route that I question if it really needs artics
Nah............ The M79 definitely needs artics. The route runs quite frequently and still artics fill up, especially in rush hours. Not to insane Bx12 levels, but it still fills up. Replace those artics with 40 footers and you'd either need boost service a ton or turn the M79 into one gigantic SRO clusterf**k in the rush hours.

The M96 isn't exactly perfect as is lmao. I don't ride it nearly as much as the M79+ so I can't really say much, but even off peak I've had buses where all it would take is one more busy stop and the bus would be packed like a sardine can//

Isn’t the Q12 interlined with other routes? Won’t artics find their way onto other routes? That means they gotta edit all the runs?
They would probably redo the runs so that the q12 is no longer interlined? Or the driver can just drive back to CS from flushing and swap out the tic for a rigid. It’s not that long of a deadhead

Nice. Just wondering when ENY or FP will start getting rid of theirs.
My guess would be as the delivery of LFS allows. Then September 2nd will be the big day once the XD60s displace a bunch of Grand's 40 footers bc of B38 articulation. I'm still clueless as to what the deal is with Q12 articulation but that should free up some more 40 footers. THen whenever 7850-7905 roll in...

Does Meadowlands have trips on the 156/R? 20803 was doing the 156R yesterday and I was wondering whether the bus was briefly loaned/transferred to Fairview, or if Meadowlands has 156/R trips that I'm just not aware of. Sorry if it's a bit of a stupid question, I'm not that familiar with njt depot-route assignments.
