    As much as I hate to say it if CP looses most of their express runs because of the redesign it’s on them. I can’t keep defending express buses when I can barely rely on them. I’m definitely at the point where I’m starting to view the LIRR even during peak as a better option. I’m on a bus now probably the first time in months and the op is just dragging his bus on QB stopping early on every red. Luckily I’m not in a hurry today but idk how normal riders put up with this. 

    As an express bus rider, College Point is one of those depots where I avoid conflict. If the B/O asks on where I am going, I tell my destination and sit in the back until I reach the place I'm going. There are some operators that are positive, while others are negative. I can agree that College Point needs an massive improvement for better ridership and better service. Other depots that are better experience-wise is Spring Creek, Far Rockaway, Staten Island, and Yonkers.

    Or they're getting the ops ready for next year when the New Flyer hydrogen units are sent there. Whatever the reason is, the prospect of seeing diesel New Flyers in the northern part of the bx again is interesting.

    It is pretty interesting. Especially because it turns out to be a fleet swap. 

    8331, 8333-8347, 8349, 8351-8355, 8358: Gun Hill to Jamaica.

     

  3. 7500, 7502, 7503, 7505, 7506, 7547, 7549: Jamaica to Gun Hill. 7486 is currently used for training at Gun Hill.

    Currently, 22 XD40s were transferred to The Bronx. I question this decision because Brooklyn's XD40 order is wrapping up, and they will want displaced buses to replace the Hybrids. Unless the LFS HEVs at Gun Hill are having issues, we will have to wait and see.

    2011-2012 Artics are really doing that bad 😯

    Yes. The 2010 LFSAs are having the most problems. Buses I've rode on that had this issue is 1207 from Kingsbridge. Currently, the (MTA)has not picked a bidder for the replacement fleet yet, so by then they will have no choice but to shuffle around the 2011-13 LFSAs to Gun Hill and Kingsbridge.
