Anyone know what happened to the Prevost express bus order?

We’re still in a global pandemic, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s delayed.

Some bus news -

2020 Prevost 1300 has made it to an an acceptance facility finally after being delayed for a while due to corona. It's not on property yet, but unless something goes wrong, it should be at some depot in short order

MTA will be taking over the SIM23 and 24 from Academy in the coming years. The option order (1607-1629) has been exercised as a result

The Nova LFS HEV pilots aren't far behind

From CPTDB Wiki - @Orion6025 (not sure if it is the same one here, so I didn't tag)

Apparently there’s a code break for the M125. There’s a picture floating around via IG. 

Yea I did it lol

Not trying to be rude here, but I requested my bus signs on FEBRUARY 13th, and you didn’t do them yet, and you said you would.

OMG I am so sorry - there has been a lot going on. I'll do them ASAP.

@loveofelevators I am working on yours as well.

The N6 has been dumping people at Elmont Rd rather than at the city line(about a mile away) where at least they can transfer to MTA buses.

Yeah, that seems short sighted.

Very shortsighted. Are they even providing some other means of getting to the city line or Jamaica - that wouldn't make sense either, but at least people can get to where they are going...

Any emergency moves due to this? 

 

All R179s pulled from service

What plan? The Bay Ridge one? I believe so... This is a different set up entirely. I would like to see coach buses on these lines ideally. We'll have a conference call tomorrow to discuss particulars.

True. Maybe this could be the first D45 CRT LE in NYC!

edit: maybe an enviro500 would be better, those are low floor

- How do you plan to obtain the Rolling Stock for this private Express Bus Service?

Wasn't the plan to use an old RTS?

(I think coach buses - or at least artics - would be better)

Should the  line be extended from Jamaica 179 further out into Queens up to Cunningham Park ?

Combined with a rethink of the buses in that area feeding the train, I think it's something worth considering. 

Looking at the bus routes currently on Hillside,  stops at 188 Street, Francis Lewis Blvd and Springfield Blvd would allow you to consolidate the buses on north and south of Hillside into one route rather than funneling together to Jamaica.

Yes, please. I’ve long been in favor of an  extension further down Hillside. With the tail tracks extending as far as they do, that’s probably one of the easiest places to break ground on the extension.

I proposed a Queens TramLink which would partially serve as an  extension (and maybe you could extend the Streetcar Shuttle to 179th)

See here for the proposal:

What I Really Want Is A R179 Sign.

Which line???

2 hours ago, loveofelevators said:

Ok!

Could you post a single post telling me what you want - it is still not clear.

Just now, loveofelevators said:

Oh, Yeah. Jova42R, One Large R179 Sign Saying:

 Kings Hwy

 Brighton Lcl

 6 Av LcL

Could you please be more clear on what you want? I cannot do 8 signs for quite a while. Is that ok? If not, please tell me which ones you want as rollsigns. Rollsigns are much easier to make. Thank you.

Just now, loveofelevators said:

*groans* Fine...

Meaning...? You want some as rollsigns? Which ones? Which type??

Just now, loveofelevators said:

 

You didn’t write Anything - you just quoted yourself. Were you trying to respond to me?

@loveofelevators this is a lot - i will try to have it within a week or so. Do you want any of these as rollsigns?

ALSO: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tag me when you post! I probably will not see it otherwise.

@loveofelevators I can make some of your signs (R160s and R179s). If you want these, post in my thread (linked above)

Gotcha. I think we're on the same page; I don't think there is a way to get the subway off of Second (either to Third, or east to Alphabet City). The latter has been studied and dismissed in every single iteration of the project since the '70s. 

I get your pessimism, but this is also the proposals thread, a place where people are specifically supposed to vent ideas that will most likely never happen. Personally rather than the lower half of Second Avenue I think we should just link East Side Access to Atlantic via Downtown; the entire reason SAS Phase III and IV even makes sense is because ESA is about to dump people into GCT with only one overcrowded train line to get downtown, but if that's the problem then a better solution would be to bring those trains downtown rather than make people transfer for no reason.

@CenSin @Trainmaster5 @LaGuardia Link N Tra: My plan for Lower SAS:

It uses 65 St to get to 3rd, utilizing 66th's wideness, then uses 37th to get back to the waterfront, utilizing the tunnel entrance. It then goes down the FDR to Av C, and hits Two Bridges before going down South St to Hanover Sq. There are TRACK connections with the  to provide operational flexibility, and Tisch Hospital is a 3-track short-turn terminal. In addition, Houston St will have a pair of inner tracks connecting to the  inner tracks, and provisions for connections to the .

Thoughts?

I Want You To Request My R142 !

1. I don't make these signs. 
2. Stop quoting random people, only @4P3607 makes these signs.
3. You can request piskelapp signs here. They are mainly suited for R160/179 signs, but i could try 142s
4. this thread has been dead for quite a while, not the best idea to macropost.
