    There’s a derailment on the 6 line southbound around Parkchester. IIRC there’s no 6 trains after Hunts Pt Ave, and a rescue train is there now, as per this, via E’mari Davis:JjKcJFt.jpg

     

     

    I know this is aside from the point but there is a Quill M31 in the picture

    i saw something Interesting yesterday! Gun Hill and West Farms Has a lot of it NEW BUSES in Eastchesters GRAVEYARD! I dont know why But they do.. Then i call my friend who drives out of Kingsbridge, and he told me he saw the same thing, Then i noticed a lot of manhattan busses in the bronx working routes! I say Hale buses on a Bx28 and a Hale Sbs On the Bx41.

    Then told me that there are over 700 B/O's Out in the bronx and Manhattan is helping the bronx with Hale helping Gun hill, Quill Helping Kingsbridge, and Manhattanville Helping WestFarms. Thats what i was told from a driver. There is a lot of weird things going on in the bronx!

    There was also Hale #6789 on the Bx41 yesterday, and #6761 on the Bx28 today. Another crazy one was Tusky 3939 on the Bx9 yesterday

    M110: it is the better M106, actually serving 106th on the west side.

    M96: Yes, I thought so!

    M62: I think it should, but why do you think not?

    That's the current M31 down York. I would also propose making the M103 SBS, for faster service (that could become the connector)

    I don’t think M62 should be because M72 isn’t SBS and it is doing just fine. M72 doesn’t have high ridership outside of rush hours.

    @OrionVIIonM79 @danig1220 @engineerboy6561 @Lex @WillF40PH @Mnrr6131 @MeeP15-9112 you guys may be interested in this:

    I made a proposal for a redesign of Central Park Crosstown Service:

    https://drive.google.com/open?id=1QYBRpZGFnKxDaT7PLt4XkvmCqXQ3li4p&usp=sharing

    Some notes:

    • M110
      • Fleet: Orion VII NG (previous M106 fleet)
      • Depot: MHV
      • BPH: 15BPH rush, 10BPH non-rush, 3BPH nights
      • Other notes: replaces M106, with different routing.
    • M96+SBS+
      • Fleet: New Flyer Xcelsior XDE40 (these buses replace OGs)
      • Depot: MHV
      • BPH: 15BPH rush, 12BPH non-rush, 5BPH nights
      • Other notes: M96 becomes +SBS+ route.
    • M86+SBS+
      • Fleet: New Flyer Xcelsior XD60 and Nova Bus LFSA
      • Depot: MJQ
      • BPH: 20BPH rush, 12BPH non-rush, 6BPH nights
      • Other notes: current M86 route except slight change on East Side
    • M79+SBS+
      • Fleet: New Flyer Xcelsior XD60 and Nova Bus LFSA
      • Depot: MJQ
      • BPH: 18BPH rush, 10BPH non-rush, 5BPH nights
      • Other notes: current M79 route except slight change on East Side
    • M62+SBS+
      • Fleet: New Flyer Xcelsior XD40 (previous M72 fleet)
      • Depot: MJQ
      • BPH: 12BPH rush, 8BPH non-rush, 3BPH nights
      • Other notes: replaces M72, with extensions and different routing.

    Thoughts?

    M110 will be slow, on 110 St the bus will make stops and the traffic will make it really unreliable, as with the M4. Also, the M4 covers stops on 110 St, so M110 is not needed there. Why make it slower when it doesn’t have to be?

    M96 SBS is already planned, and other routes fine. M62 doesn’t need to be SBS though, but I like how it uses 79 St

    What route is the fastest way?

    TO: ROCKAWAY BL (A) 

    FROM: QUEENS COLLEGE (corner of Kissena Bl/LIE)

    1. Q25/Q34–Q112

    2. Q25/Q34–Q41

    3. Q74–Q37–Uptown (A) OR Q112 (This ones OLD)

    4. Q88–Q52/Q53 SBS

    Or maybe something else?

    Definitely Q88 to Q52/53

    Speaking of bus timetables, I have all but 4 for Queens local (I live there so thats easy), all but 2 for SI local, abt. 60% of Manhattan, and about 30% of both BK and BX local routes. The express routes- 75% for Queens, 20% for BK, 20% for BX, and a nice 0% for SI, only because I have not gone back there since the (MTA) redid all the routes there. I have a good portion of the old “X” routes from there though.

    The express routes are the hardest to find. Sometimes I get lucky when the TA puts express maps on a local bus (Queens Village depot does that).

    Seeing that I started collecting when I was only 4 (that was ten years ago!), I’d say that i got a pretty damn big collection.


    We both will have to start over, seeing that the boro-wide redesigns are happening lmao

    I also started when I was 4, but I don’t ride buses just to get timetables, but I ride them normally. The most memorable bus was #5302 on the M79, back in 2015 or 16. I don’t know how, but I got most of SI on that bus. My friends bring me timetables too though sometimes.
