Maybe not. MTA is keeping groups uniformed in one category. Like Ulmer Park, Fresh Pond, Flatbush and Gleason in Brooklyn, all buses will be New Flyer. 

The XD seem to hold more people with the seat configuration then the LFS.

This one seems puzzling as they have to be high mileage and the Q44 is a high mileage route. At least with the B44 and B46 and intra-Manhattan SBS, mileage is kept down.

B46 is a high mileage route

Your response here is abridging my actual reply; you are going outside the scope of my reply, with the addition of random generalizations.

I'm not going to waste my time here, I'll keep each response short and sweet.

You're repeating what you've said previously, I already explained this whole B36 and B74 phenomenon. The reason I mentioned Ulmer Park, contrary to what you see it is as, was to hint the fact that the depot can handle extra equipment regardless of its size. Thus making a more serviceable B36 actually possible with the right circumstances.
 

 

We're talking about the B6, I don't know why you're bringing that statistic up. I'd say this is deserving of the irrelevant title.

 

 

The B11, with my proposal, is still going to have that connection..? I rest you said, I response with a hefty 'Ok.'

 

It's my perspective, can't get mad at someone's opinion right? Get some propriety.

 

 

You misinterpreted my usage of 'pivotal'. I was referring to Vanderbilt and Vanderbilt only. I never mentioned the 'B67 being a pivotal giant', with that, I can care less for the rest said as it was said based off a misinterpretation.

 

 

Well assuming you didn't make any counterargument to that B100 justification, I can safely say you do not have anything else to say about that. There are other roads that B41's at layover can take to get back to the main King Plaza terminal? That wouldn't exacerbate anything, it'll give the terminal more breathing room in terms of bus presence.

 

 

For Canarsien very rare will you find anybody that gets on before Remsen going pass the  for Flatbush junction. The B60 is the option for  service as the is about 10-15 vs 25-30 going to Flatbush in Rush Hour or the B17 I almost never seen anybody ride from Rockaway Parkway to Flatbush in the morning for subway service . The problem with the B6 is the streets are narrow and the 40FT are at capacity so more buses is not the answer.

9533 made an appearance at Journal square yesterday on the 1

and today 9543

Could Hilton be In line for The extra 60FT? the 1 is long over due. The 25 should be looked at also Springfield is murder

There’s nothing wrong with using the older codes. In fact, the original names are still used internally. It’s not worth stressing over.

I second That relax.

They don't run them on the M14 anymore. I heard it's because they would die mid route, but I don't know exactly.

They never really test equipment correctly hence they whole Hybird Debacle. The XE should have test In all Boroughs under normal conditions if you intended to run it anywhere in NYCT. It’s not rocket science and you are most likely right, but if you know this board they will call Shit Water Hennessy 🤷🏾‍♂️

Can someone enlighten me about the B40 and B78? I've never known about these routes being in existence before.

The B40/B78 were pretty good before the merger despite having to transfer for Ralph Av service. The B40 was down the block from ENY so runtime was smooth never waited long it seemed. Now the B78 not so much you would be lucky to catch it from a connecting line very erratic run wise but also smooth line.

How do you know? Only up to 20811 is built, so far.

Your the one that works at new flyer right ????

We have been seeing more numbers tracking albeit at the 0-0 coordinates, namely 20808 and I also heard 20809 tracking there too. 20803 is still at the CMF, and I don't know for sure where any of the others are. 20801 seems to be at the Ferry Street bus facility.

20814 is built

Just like how Kawasaki and Bombardier bid for the best build and ditto with New Flyer and Nova, it's the same exact thing with MCI and Prevost.

Now that this is addressed, can you not get off topic?

Didn’t start the off topic and I clearly made a statement and moved on with it so tag the right person thanks a lot bro 🤷🏾‍♂️

MCI would've won the contract if Prevost didn't drop their original offer by 13 million and offer a better delivery schedule.

You really think that huh lol ok I’m leave it be now.

This isn't the thread for this question, but I'll answer it.

Neither of them failed. The double decker actually passed tests outside of height restrictions. 37 buses were originally going to be ordered for the x17J and some of the other via Jersey routes, but that plan was eventually dropped, reason being that those buses would be permanently at Charleston, and they would rack up miles really fast. It made more sense to order standard 45ft coaches.

The D45 CRT LE also passed tests, they were in the bidding wars with Prevost Car Inc. for the latest order for MTA Bus and NYC Bus collectively. Prevost Car Inc. lowballed MCI by 13 million and won the contract, which makes me very skeptical about this new order and how long they will last, because the current batch of 2500s, 2600s and 2700s on Staten Island aren't holding up as well as some people would say....

Rumor is that the MTA didn't want to be the first big buyer of the D45 CRT LE, but I'm not quite sure how true that actually is.....I think AC Transit will be the first big buyer of those CRT LEs with 150 units, but I could be wrong. Prevost was also awarded the contract because the buses will be built in upstate New York, which would allow for more New York State content into the fleet.

On the topic of the D45 CRT LE, we recently had an engineering test bus in the city about a month ago, covered in wires. They were testing the bus out in various areas of the city and collecting data on it, perhaps for future consideration for an order.

That all it really balled down to is political as usual “Buy New York “Orion part 2 smh.

By whom? Because as far as I remember, I recall seeing the Volvos doing trips to/from PABT.

156, 158, 159 all use 60 FT so I don’t see why the 107 or any other routes would not be able to.

That’s awesome! 
There’s also two articulated buses on the B46-SBS (your post is many times more interesting XD)

Try 6

5498, 6048, 6058, 6131, 6172, 6176

Got you 🤣🤣🤣 the buses suck it’s not hard to tell NABI are good for smaller fleets. The road call is very high these buses are not put together very well. South jersey is ok due to the lack of wear and tear, routes are not as heavy minus Philly routes. 

Don’t let me stop you tho boss 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

 I’m very much in the loop 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️, I don’t care enough to go back and forth with a mod. I know how this ends when people have info not passed by the gods of the forum you win 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️. I don’t spread miss information I just don’t listen to the non sense you push on your members when your not %100 accurate, unless your a CEO and I missed it or wait you work for somebody DOB that it 🤣🤣🤣. 

Not talk about that one freak accident in Newark, you really reached with that one. Tons of missing runs due to Lack of spares mostly Ironbound & Hilton. 
 

Mind you this was after the Big Engine swap I give them credit for maybe the 64xx and up. Back Door sensor, wheel chair failure, buses kneeling and losing pressure. NJT knew they f*ucked these were never going pass 12 years.

Wrong.

The bodies and the stainless steel frames of the NABIs are holding up fine. The ones that are prioritized to go first are the Caterpillar engine buses, as the engines are costing them more and more to maintain ever since Caterpillar left the bus market.

There poor quality most likely and not worth keeping longer then 12 yr.

XN60 #1045 was in a accident last night 

6239-6240 are at LGA

Modifying Ulmer Park slightly or move it to ENY or Flatbush (why am I thinking FB, that's retarded) if it's a big enough demand for future route picks. With UP isn't almost seems political when it comes to buses they can handle. But they'll never lose the B6 which is financially understandable and obvious but who knows, I guess. I wouldn't be against the idea of B6 getting artics, no one would I would think,  but it'll be a while before the  surfaces a plan for a configuration/conversation, especially with the agency's financial track record.

 

Who could possibly know at this rate? 1) It's not like a trying to announce when it will. 2) We acknowledge that it's not in the next CP, Thank you, Captain Obvious.... for the painfully reminder.
