It's being pro-active; something like that, you don't just throw at riders (esp. ones that's been used to riding freely for just about half the year now) on the day of.....

Oh. Ok. Ridership on the bus has been pretty low.

Although I have not been riding the subway lately, the R160s on the  are great! I didn’t really like the R46s on the (R). Don’t criticize me on that.

Yep.... Both B46 locals I took early this morning (coming & going), along with several other buses I saw along the way, had the "Fare Required" signage on them...

Maybe as a reminder that you have start paying in the front on local/limited buses on Monday?

Where will 0022 be assigned to?

I have a question about the upcoming Prevost order. Is it going to replace the remaining D4500CLs? Or some?

The  switches are being replaced! The last time they were replaced was in 1999!

One thing I really like on the destination signs on the buses is the "Masks required" code! This will be a temporary code.

6543 JFK to scrap

I am going to miss these units!!

Hey guys. It has been awhile since I last commented on any thread. But anyways, I haven’t done train/bus fanning since March 10th. The day before the WHO declared the Coronavirus a pandemic. The last route I did was the Q48. It was an Orion VII NG #4217. That route was great and the operator was quick. Just wanted to make a comment on this thread.

Once the B1 gets articulated buses, I will like it again. As of now, I no longer like that route.

B25 bus was removed from Saturday evening from a distrubance that took place in Downtown Brooklyn.

I rode on a R46  last night! 5818 I think.

The R-32s are now down from 184 to 140.

These 44 are now retired effective January 30, 2020:

3406/07, 3419/3740, 3426/27, 3428/29, 3436/37, 3445/3468, 3446/47, 3518/3519, 3548/3593, 3586/3587, 3590/3591, 3610/11, 3650/3767, 3660/61, 3728/29, 3730/31, 3770/71, 3818/19, 3822/23, 3872/73, 3876/77, 3896/97.

Of the 82 overall, 18 that were retired had operated at East New York.  The rest (64) have always been running out of 207 Street.

3410/11, 3454/55 and 3483/85 WERE retired as of January 3 then reactivated.  They are still in passenger service as of January 31.  It looks like they're going to make it.

Round and round she goes, we hope the R32 roulette wheel has stopped.  That's the long-rumored number of 80 (actually 82) R-32s retired.

Whether that will be enough, the wheel has to be stopped??!!...

My reaction to the R32s being retired...

Rumor is true. Byford is out. 

Did NOT see that coming!

Yeah. I saw on Hylan and Narrows Rd. I was going to take the SIM15... BUT, I got on the SIM35 instead.

Man.... It's amazing to think the R142s & R142As are very soon approaching there 20 years of service. I remember back in late 2000 when I first rode a downtown train to 42nd Street, at the time on a brand-new Bombardier R142 (probably one of the very few that were running at that time) with that new car smell. Just a thought lol.

They still look new!

7247 has screens. (Version 3)

I have only been on a R42 once and it was in February of 2018 on the (J).
