Most of the old C40LF have the huge ass MTA logo on them in the front.

I doubt they would re label the bus and put CP stickers on if it was there solely for training. And CP fleet age is older if you only count the CNGs, CP fleet is 97-99, Gleason 99/2000 and the VII's that came a few years later..

I agree, and besides, the inner city neighborhoods certainty do have snot nosed A holes.... Hoodrats... those woman are just as nasty and rude as these so called snot nosed A holes from the nicer neighborhoods, this is coming from someone who lives in Flatbush if it matters lol.

Oh my, I wonder why a DD C40 is there!? It would be awesome if it ran in revenue service at CP, esp on the Q50! :cool:

I had my first bus accident this morning lol. My B8 had a fender bender with a fairly new Cadillac Escalde, minor accident. It was quite funny as this older little dude was driving the Cadi and was livid at the B/O, I mean dude went nuts. I was sitting in the back so I couldn't hear what he was saying. The stupidity of the middle age woman that ride on the B8 kinda ruined the LOLS of the moment though. The dude that was driving the Cadi walked along the side of the bus and this dumb ass woman on the bus bangs on the glass and barks at him... Not actually bark at him like a dog per se, but give him a piece of her mind even dude couldn't even hear her. B/O lets the customers off and everyone checks the damage (There was nothing major TBH, the Cadi might need cosmetic work it was a white SUV and the bus's bumper made contact with the SUV) another B8 was right behind it, one of the middle age woman is now going ham on the driver of the Cadi, dude was just sitting in his SUV with his head down... kinda felt sorry for him. I had the B/O coming home today from work (With a different bus) and dude is clear from any drama I guess. ... Point is why don't people mind there own business? Also I still got to work on time so I wasn't even mad. :cool:

Maybe it was a loaner, I remember a ZF came back to FLA a while back months after UP had all of them... then it went back to UP.

Forgot to post this yesterday.... but 9644 was seen by me on the B41 w/ FLA stickers yesterday. So its still at FLA unless it got transferred today lol.

Man, why do middle age woman change their seat so damn much during the course of one bus ride? There be like 3 to 4 times in one trip where a woman changes her seat on the bus... several woman do this... its so annoying. What makes it more annoying is they carry a shitload of bags with them, I mean WTF is in those bags that you have to bring all that ish with you to work everyday!?! I'm riding on a SRO B8, I'm standing on the HF section of the bus (C40LF), person sitting in front of me gets off, I'm about to sit down and then this effing middle age black woman throws her dumbass bags in the seat in front of me and sits there! She already had a seat in the rear row, and I was standing front of the inward facing seats, she throws her bag there and sits there, I mean WTF? I posposely sat next to that broad just to annoy her rather than sit at the rear seat she just got out of. I got burned this morning and was late to work due to the driver relief showing up late smh, with Original B/O calling supt and all that jazz. Man I hate the B8 bus, I'm glad I got photos of it in my collection I can print them out and burn them lol.

How is a bus with a tranny slip perfect? Your post is funny, it reminds of a poster on buschat lol...

I got a VII CNG on both trips on the B8 today. The ride in the AM the rear vent was open... the outside sound + Inside sound acceleration at once = Foamtastic! There was also four VIIs back to back on the B11 today. Feels good man. :cool:

5105 is the first LED bus, which is still in service at UP. Interesting that 8053 is at UP, that's only several buses away from QV batch (8060 and up)

I miss riding this mode of public transportation on a daily basis... Commuting on a bus daily blows.... I rather drive (If I had a car) rather than ride the damn bus. I realized I only like to ride on the bus when I'm fanning and not for commuting. I love my job just hate the commute in the morning. I miss the ( and trains and the 68/68As and 160s they used, feels bad man. But I miss don't miss High School though, not at all, not one damn bit... Some of the people there yes? But overall, nah.

Yes, I remember seeing 9646 on the B41 a while back.

9643 is at Flatbush... was seen on the B41 on Friday and today by yours truly. I wonder if this came with 9644-9646 or it came later? Friday was the first time I seen this bus down here in BK. 8752 also made it to service, I seen it on the B44 on friday... it was spotted in the sickbay @ Flatbush these past few days by others but shes finally in service... There also was a OG on the B103 today with a black-back, I think this is a new addition for SC but I forgot the number lol. As SC always repaints their buses shortly after they get them.

I wonder if they added service on the M34 due to the Auto Show?

5060 was on the M34 today, flew past me as I was going down to the auto show, yea, this bus is already known as a Quill but it running on the effin M34! Boy did she sound lovely hauling down 34th Street...

I rode on three express buses today, X17J, X1 and BM4.. yea I'm about that life lol. Anyways I seen two express buses that died out there today, a YUK MCI on the northbound NJ Turnpike (Yes, A MTA MCI broke down in New Jersey... LMAO!) and 2230 broke down on Courtilyou Rd. The X1 I rode on was just freshly cleaned by YUK when I got on it, floors still wet, smelling fresh and water was dripping on the outside of the bus, it was equivalent of a blonde white woman getting out of the Ocean at the beach! :cool:

That sucks, as that bus was a runner. :cry::cry:

I got 915 on my ride home on the B8 today, the lights and the HAVC vents are different than the other C40LF. It seems to have LED type lights and the HAVC vents are grey-ish, looks awesome man. :cool::cool:

On my AM commute I ride basically the same run every day, and FINALLY got a VII CNG this morning, dude usually always has a NF.
