#6821 most likely overheated.

So is this bus a writeoff?

Well, we know that the shuttles, W, and G trains are likely the first to go as they are some of the lightest in terms of ridership. That's among the reasons why the W was cut the last time we had cuts here.

To be fair, he isn't wrong when Foye said, "10 percent of the total U.S. gross domestic product comes from the New York City region." From what I've heard, during the recession in 2008, 1 of the reasons why or probably the reason why we went into a recession was because the MTA wasn't making enough money. Then again, this is what I've heard, could be completely fake or sort of on the right track, I don't know.

Can't be, because at the time, ridership at the MTA as a whole was booming. For example, in 2007, MTA Long Island bus alone had more than 107,000 daily riders!

I am actually surprised to that end that East 80 Street is still a 4-lane road instead of 2 lanes and a center turn lane. The usage of that road doesn't really warrant 4 lanes all the way (and between Avenue J and K, there is a fixed speed camera).

So is it safe to say that #587 is the first new C40LF to be retired?

Is there any word as to when (or even if) the subways will return to 24 hours?

RIP JG XN40 #808... 💔💔💔

Where is the proof of this? I haven't seen any reports of bus fires anywhere?
