1438 is running on the QM16 today.

I'm assuming trackers are disabled? Because I tried to track it earlier and it didn't appear

This is confirmed. It is indeed at Far Rockaway.

Is 1439 at FR too? I heard rumors that its also there, but I don't trust it. I'm asking to make sure

1438 is supposedly at Far Rockaway depot

I'm waiting for the day I see 100+ people show on the passenger counter for an SBS artic. 

An S79 got 56 people on board right now. 

yeah, speaking of 50 people, the Q55 was a MESS this weekend. Overcrowded buses and long waits. Took an hour for a bus to arrive only to be packed with people

Possibly a loan.

if it was a loan, why can't they just call up any other Manhattan depot? i mean a loan from brooklyn is too far

The DOB (Department of Buildings, not Buses) ordered the building vacated. There might be a danger of the building collapsing partially (or worse) if the bus is moved.

If you remember a guy aggressively flagging you down at 34th Street last Wednesday, then that was me.

yeah they probally need to put up some scaffolding or support in order to remove the bus

Bus is NOT scrapped yet. Bus is still in service

I realized that from before

2910 ran on the QM1 earlier this morning, so it is not scrapped yet.

2910 is the last D4500 in the system to be scrapped. This marks the end of the flipdot era in NYCT

Though I've noticed the counters on the new 13xx express buses don't seem to show up all the time.

one of the reason could be a broken farebox. i remember riding 1311 on the QM4 once and it rejected my card even though it had enough, and when i checked bustime a few mins after I got on, it did not change (i was the only passenger for the trip and it should had said 1 passenger) sometimes i feel like the cameras on board play a role in the passenger count

9504 was last in service in September 2020. It's in Indiana.

what is 9504 doing in indiana in such a long period of time

That’s odd. I saw it at the Eastchester scrap lot on Saturday. Either I mixed up the number or it left the lot shortly afterwards.

Hm they must had pulled 3003 from retirement, wonder why, or maybe it could be another mixup with another unit

On 4/4/2021 at 1:07 AM, Kingsbridgeviewer382 said:

3003 & 3017 to scrap.

3003 was spotted on the QM20 today...

alright, I'll bite. 

why would CS part with XD60's aside from summer loans? 

I think he might mean XD40s... 
 

7 minutes ago, limitednyc said:

doses this mean that cs might  send 60 xc60's to lga?

 

'

Could be a possibility. But I think they might just send their NGs to other MTA bus depots

9623 and 9624 seen at ronkonkoma

2002 MCI 2858? ran in service today, front and side signs completely broke and it didn't show up on the app so I have no idea what route it ran on. But I saw it on 6th Ave about an hour ago.

 

 

Surprised these are still seeing off peak service with around 20 Prevosts at that depot.

The flipdots are pretty rare seeing them off peak...

34 minutes ago, Calvin said:

Prevost 1319 took its place for #23 as that unit went back to its original arrival spot. 

So likely, 1319 is going to hit other depots as well just like 23 did?

And shouldn't this topic be in another place? Correct me if I'm wrong

If they were to extend the route, it could be more beneficial. Also, some people prefer riding the bus over the subway because of accessibility, cleanliness, or convenience. It kind of sucks how B51 service was discontinued...

What if the B39 got turned into a crosstown manhattan route extended from Allen Street to 6th ave via Spring and Broome Streets, and possibly extended to bway junction via broadway? Just sharing an idea

That's not inaccurate info. That's a bus going OOS or taking a route off of the BusTime route, which happens often. There are a few deadspots on some routes like the QM2 in Beechhurst where every QM2 will disappear in the route, then reappear further along.

Yeah this does happen sometimes...

1 minute ago, Lawrence St said:

Anyone else notice that real-time data tends to be incorrect or inaccurate for stops that are close to terminals?

you're not the only one. sometimes when i track express buses, they just disappear out of nowhere 2-3 stops away from the terminal. i bet thats because the last passengers got off the bus before the terminal

5 hours ago, SoSpectacular said:

While not necessary to ring the bell at the last stop, it's standard operating procedure for bus operators to check our buses at each terminal...

We get in trouble if we wind up bringing people into the depot on the bus and they get left behind unannounced... You know, safety hazard and all that.

this happened to me on the Q43 once, i thought this went right to Jamaica Center once but it actually stopped a block or two away
