  1. I have to check the transit app map for the looks of it's corridor
  2. LFSA on Q58(next pick)??? I thought Q58 isn't artic ready(after moving from Fresh Pond Dept). I wish it has to get XDE60s, but that plan was eliminated
  3. I used to hate RTS' since 2012 until early 2018. This is because I over exaggerate alot with their mechanical problems(ex. fires, wheelchair lift stuck, brake noises, etc.) and I hated their Series 50 engine I used to love most as a little boy. Since 2017, I was worried about their braking efforts whilst I was braking that bus at low speed, while others counter argued that these buses have such sharp brakes(I don't believe it, at that heavy duty design). Those XD40s and other Xcelsiors rule NYC with a perfect value, which is why they became my most favorite bus(top of my list) since Q2 2016.
  4. I am an Xcelsior fan/op, they are my favorites too. The XN60s and the XDE40/60s are my most favorite Xcelsiors. I do like the RTS'(2nd favorite model), but my main ones are the 1990-91 TMC units with 6v92(w/V731) and trapoxidyzer( along with the Novabus 1997-99 units).
  5. The RTS' are your most favorites ? That's what I was thinking about before.
  6. That was my uncle, he hired me as a supervisor apprentice
  7. I work out of that depot. Just like my uncle said(co worker), we have those buses there to remind us what don't we want to pull in and for drivers to start the service quickly/drag them to a terminal, extra shifts. Or even leave them as spare buses in case of any bus break downs, that a supervisor have to bring another one after the broke down units gets towed. Every depot does the same too.
  8. I didn't mean it the rude way. I should've parenthesis"(no rude reply)" with the "just wait"
  9. I also found out the tires cannot get hot and burst with those alcoas.
  10. Are you talking about the 4800s review ? Thank you and for my other reviews
  11. You remind me of last summer about me willing to sneek peak at the facility, which i didn't know it was illegal. Especially that I am an MTA worker, but that may cause the termination of my job. Even one of my YT subs, would report me to the MTA in order for me not to leak the surprise buses. Thanks for the advice though😉.
  12. This is a re-do of my last 4800s review. I know many of you love these XD40s. Enjoy😉!!!
  13. Oh plz!!! As an Xcelsior fan, the combination in that 2014-15 XD40s batch are so much better for less pollution and it felt like a race car. I know many officials despise them due to how quiet they are. The 4800s combinations are excellent too, but some slight features I dislike(e.g. half pane rear doors). Yes, the 2 units out of the 4830s range you've mentioned are powerful, I rode them before. I still love the the recent XD40s(2018-19) alot better than 2011,2014-15 XD40s. They are so robotic in their performance. My very first unit of them I rode was #7623(FB unit, B46 +SBS) in May 23, 2018, it was amazing. In December 2018, I also have operated my first 2 recent XD40s(after they were just delivered in MJQ) which were #7573 and #7585. When I acelerated them, the speed was swift and fiesty as I wanted and each time I did that(I had them NIS) was around 7 - 8a.m. along 12th ave(Manhattan). With #1073, it should be the most popular unit with the XN60s. I already know the 2014-15 XD40s(my favorite Xcelsiors) are your wost favorites as you have mention in my topic..."Which buses of NYCT/MaBSTOA is more popular ?"
  14. Yep, I've been in that unit before. The last time was 01/26/19 and I knew it was the only unit to feature those Gen 2 Gemini seats(more complex than the XD40s seats).
  15. This review uploaded today on YT will bring you more memories of the best CNG buses from Brooklyn. How many of you guys miss these ? Youtube: King Auto & NYC Transit Flickr: Cedric Jean Louis
  16. This my first YT review of 2019. This is displaying my most favorite D60HF(and the last D60HFs of NYCT). Feel free to watch this if this is your favorite bus. They are retiring quicklyy, so get your rides & medias in ASAP. The delivery of the newer LFSAS knocks out these classical D60HFs.
  17. This is also a review(uploaded on 12/09/18) to be poste here. This is where you guys count this bus as a best CNG bus. However, it's not because of it's growls increasing complaints which is why they are my least favorite. Subscribe(Youtube): King Auto & NYC Transit Flickr: Cedric Jean Louis
  18. This is my first review(uploaded on Christmas eve 2018) to be posted here on this topic. The most iconic buses of NYC y'all want to watch, but the Xcelsiors will have the value when these buses leave the property. Subscribe me on YT: King Auto & NYC Transit Flickr: Cedric Jean Louis
  19. Remember the Orion VII 3Gs from 2011 and once they loaned one NG ?
  20. Horray!!!! I will see if I could take one for "OOS" while on the job(I have to consult with my uncle first)
  21. I'm hoping for XE60s to come Quill. I want to see and watch how that plays out.
