Who said I got it from here, if you would have taken the time to thoroughly read my post, I said "couple of FB sources".

That leaves around 18 OG O7 hybrids left from Queens Village and indeed NYCT. Could all be gone possibly by this time next month assuming the LFS order and the displaced NG hybrids increase in number.

I guess so, I mean afterall, they didn't get Sunday service until about 5-6 years ago.

Eh, I always found Septa to a be bland and generic system.

If that's the cause, then probably ditto for the R211s, unless whatever comes next for the B division has backwards compatibility.

Interesting indeed. What are the odds of the MTA getting into the ferry business?

Can they also run in a set with the R179s though?

What the question says.

After the Concorde retired in 2003 (the jet, not the Chrysler car), there has been no real replacement for this one of a kind beast. Why is that? In a way, it seems like were regressed back 30 years after retiring these planes without any new models to replace it. Is Boeing or Airbus working on a Next Generation passenger Jet that is Supersonic in nature?

B25, B43, B45, and B65 for me.

Damn, what the hell?!? I didn't see this. This could have ended badly for all involved.

I agree, they have all the money in the world. I'd say tax them to oblivion.

I don't know Septa very well. What is their issue?

If there's a market for a service to and from the Bronx, I'd say explore it. Besides, NICE is consider (albeit more long-term) to have express bus service to Manhattan in the future. This is based off that idea except it would use local 40 footer buses (maybe artics if the ridership is there). It would also have some closed door segments like other Queens bound lines.

Well, everything in general is going up in prices so you point almost seems moot now doesn't it?

Right on the money! I can't stand how some people try to act like they know all the answers (while failing to elaborate at the same time). Damn fools is what they are.

The NYPD has been using Ford Explorer Police packaged SUVs since atleast 1995-96. It just wasn't common place until around 2001 or so.

Better yet, what are even the requirements?

Queensboro is a good spot. About time as those stations over there by LIC in general are hell to pay climbing those.

I suppose weekend service is pretty much an after-thought for SCT.

You'd think they would have done this back in the mid-1990s since the Metrocard was coming out back then. Guess NJT is stuck in 1995, lol.

Now that makes sense as they are more worn out over time.

How feasible would a route from Hempstead bus terminal to Co-op City in The Bronx be? Here are some proposals I made before elsewhere: - n1 weekdays off peak hours every 20 minutes, rush-hours, every 10 minutes, Weekends every 30 minutes at all times (except overnight which the last bus would head to Elmont at 11:45pm.) -n4/n4x, n6/n6x I keep as is right now. -n15 I would give it a limited (n15x on rush-hours every 15 minutes), everything else stays the same. -n16 I give it weekend service every 35 minutes, stays the same during the week. -n19 stays the same. -n20g I would rename "n10" and n20h would revert back to "n20". n10 would run every 12 minutes in rush-hours and 20 minutes the rest of the time during the weekdays. Would get 24 hour service and run half-hourly over night and on weekends. -The new "n20" would maintain its current schedule. -n21 would be discontinued and replaced by a restructured n20. -n22 would get 24 hour service and partial Articulation (get XN60 buses for some runs). n22a service restored and runs rush-hours only. -n23 stays the same except runs til midnight. -n24 gets n22 treatment and would run at all times. -n25 would run every 25 minutes off peak and 15 minutes during rush-hours. -n26 runs all day from sunrise to sunset every 30 minutes off-peak and 15 during rush-hours. Would get weekend service. -n27 weekend service restored. -n31 would be discontinued and replaced with a restructured n32 with headway management every 10 minutes at all times (8 minutes in rush-hours). 24 hour service for the n32. -n33 discontinued and replaced with a restructured n35 that would get the n32 treatment. -n36 would be restored to pre-2017 NICE cuts. -n40 discontinued and would just be called "n41". Current service levels remain. -n43 keep as is, but have it run til 2:30 am with headway management for every 15 minutes at all times (10 for rush-hours). -n45 restored to pre-2017 NICE cuts and run rush-hours only. -n48 and n49 stays the same. -n54 runs 7 days a week. n55 discontinued. -n57 + n58 combine into n57. n58 discontinued. n57 runs every 20 minutes. -A new "n59" would serve Mineola to Northshore Towers and terminate in Co-op City in the Bronx. Headway management and run at all times. -n69 takeover by NICE and extended to RVC. -n70 discontinued. n71 extended and increase in service frequency. n72 reduced frequency and runs rush-hours only. -n78 + n79 combined into new "n75" route. Runs every 30 minutes at all times til midnight. -n80 stays the same. -n88 gains headway management. Any thoughts? This is of course if budget allows. Show less

In general, don't NYC DOT repave a block...once a decade? If they got rid of that segment to begin with, then I'd imagine that portion of the Q77 wasn't carrying that many passengers.

Or a least relocate their fleets like Casey Stengel did back during Sandy.
