Drivers at MTA; just curious, are they lenient in regards to red light camera tickets? At my old job they would look at the footage and give you a 2 second courtesy if you were driving an artic or an express bus.

You get a ticket you pay for it plus got to hear from the GS

Why they dont try to have most of the novas at jfk/bp and xd40 at lga/eastchester which will make easier to move them around if they have to do ?

Ahh, oh well LOL. Does this new system at least show the BO the list of upcoming stops or anything else helpful? I've seen that on some Academy routes

It  show the stops

Oh, so its shows if you are on schedule, not anything about other buses? That's dissapointing, I was hoping that pilot program that allowed BOs to adjust based on the bus ahead of them was actually being put into use

That wont happened to let us adjust ourselves that device is the new radio to communicate with supervision thats all

Funny you mention this, I’ve noticed on CP’s local buses (C40LF’s), they’ve installed clever devices that turn on and show how far (in mins) the bus in front and behind is. So I’m guessing they’ll implement the capabilities to login to the bus and put destination codes into there. 

The clever devices are going to allow to sign in the operator but they dont show how far is the other bus what you see is if the bus is on schedule

Once Metrocard is totally shut down (which could still be quite a while given the slow OMNY rollout), will fareboxes be removed from the buses?

On a related note, I see that the Roosevelt Island Tram now accepts OMNY, and it counts towards the weekly unlimited ride count

The plan is to get rid of farebox  completely 

Well already started training in the buses with  E-mirrors in LGA depot artics buses also

4196 CS to LGA

60 mph on the locals  only when they work on the bus and forgot to put the gobernador back at 40 . Last year we have one of the artics do 60 for long time it was nice to go on to rockaway beach on that one 

4175 LGA  to scrap

7447 (LGA) still has a luggage rack on the left side of the bus.  I rode that unit on the Q39 the other day.  Any other 40 footers still have luggage racks?

All the bus that were wrap for the sbs 70 still have the racks
