Melbx15

5574 out of KB in local scheme 

5576 out of KB also in local scheme 

I’m hearing through the grapevine that MJQ will be going through some renovations to its roof which will require some of its fleet and routes  to be moved to Manhattanville and Tuskegee airmen and MCH is this true?

My thoughts of the M125. The M125 honestly, should run out of Manhattanville. Why?

For one, the current Bx15 (and future M125) terminates right by it (straight deadhead to 133rd where it's located).

And secondly, it would be shorter headways with Standards (3-4 Minutes for 40-Footers) than Artics (8 Minutes with 60-Footers).

 

Also, some Operators could interchange M125 and M104 trips.

We have to start using our brains people the M125 is not part of the Manhattan Division just like the M100 it’s part of the BRONX division hints why it’s part of the BRONX redesign therefore it will not be based out off Manhattanville (it can’t even handle Artic operations yet) , MCH, 100st or MJQ. It will be based out of a BRONX DIVISION DEPOT that can handle ARTICULATED OPERATIONS most likely West Farms because it’s closer to 149st than KB or GH. The bx17, 21, 32 & 33 all deadhead back to WF from pt Morris/Mott Heaven with ease i don’t see why the M125 can’t do the same from 149 let’s not forget that the bx15 does have some trips that begin at 3ave - 149st to 125st in the early mornings

Jamaica is going all-electric.

 

From the MTA's Facebook post:

With the talk of Jamaica getting rebuilt FINALLY does that mean that during construction they’re buses are going to Casey Stengel and Queens village depots and if so can the two depots handle more buses it’ll be interesting to see which routes go where 

5317 - gun hill to west farms with WF decals

A bus on the Bx11 was involved in a fire around an hour ago near Jennings Street: at the time, police are saying the fire may have been caused after a motorcycle collided with the bus, and that folks were evacuated before the fire broke out. The bus (which was an XN40, number unknown) looks pretty scorched and in a bad state. Videos and info are on the Citizen app for anyone who's curious.

145 (7815) lasted a pretty long time before being retired, I think 101 (5518) as well, if I’m not mistaken.

101 was ex(5519) and 145 was the original Orion CNG ex(7685) not 7815

The following buses have been freshly repainted 

WF - 5846

TU - 5866, 5905

5846 Tuskegee to West Farms 

5339 - KB freshly repainted 

I guess the MTA is getting back into repainting these buses

They are saying that the operator of the bus either experienced brake failure or didn't properly navigate the turn and veered off the road, leaving the bus dangling from the overpass.

the passengers are okay with non life-threatening injuries but the bus driver suffered the most severe injuries and is in serious condition. 

5443 & 5489 to gun hill from MJQ

358 & 359 to west farms from Jackie Gleason 

Soo I just passed 5441 on 125st  on the bx15 limited but on bus time it’s showing 5441 is in the Bronx going to 149st on the bx15 local and the tracker is moving when you refresh so maybe I’m going crazy lol anybody else experienced this

What is Kingsbridge getting?

Most of the snow loans for KB are from queens village but as rush hour comes there could be other loans from other depots

Is it fully in the local scheme? Last I checked, only the front of the unit was in the dark blue scheme.

I only saw the front half it was wrapped in the local scheme

22 is back in Secaucus for further adjustments. Word is that it will demo out of Manhattanville.

It would interesting to see it run out of manhattanville, not everyday you see a nova bus doing runs on manhattanville routes
