Welcome to our community, B36 Via Ave U! -
Nice to see Miami as the city name for the Marlins. You forgot that the DiamondBacks have started 3 and 0 this season.

Off-topic Random Thoughts Thread
EE Broadway Local replied to EE Broadway Local's topic in Off Topic Lounge
Hi! I've a job! I work for the Beacon Group. It's Monday through Friday 8:00am to 2:30pm. It's fun - I make rivets, put binders together and help wash cars and trucks. -

Hi! Construction has begun here in Tucson on the Modern Streetcar line (I love that name). Presently, construction is on North Fourth Avenue between East University Boulvard and East Congress Street and on East Congress Street between Toole and Stone Avenues. The good news is that the Ronstadt is open, though Sun Tran bus routes are on detours Downtown due to Congress being closed. When completed, the Modern Streetcar line will run from North Park Avenue and East University Boulevard to the west side of the Santa Cruz River on West Congress Street via University, Fourth and Congress. Why the Modern Streetcar? I think it's to distinguish it from the Heritage Streetcar that currently runs from North Euclid Avenue and East University Boulevard to East Eighth Street and North Fourth Avenue (Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays). It will be interesting to see if the vintage streetcar will run the full route and how frequently the modern streetcars will run. Presently, our best time is on the #8 Broadway-Sixth Avenue which is every ten minutes during the day portion on Weekdays, fifteen minutes during the same on Saturdays and every twenty minutes during the same on Sundays. The #4 East Speedway has ten and fifteen minutes during the day portion on Weekdays. For detour updates, please visit http://www.suntran.com

Sun Tran's Very Special Gillig
EE Broadway Local replied to EE Broadway Local's topic in Other Transit Systems
I got the number wrong. It's 2949. And it has a mate - #2950. Riders enjoy the soft, comfortable front seats on these two buses. -
It's official then? NJT is operating the #10 with the same number? This is wonderful!

That's a shame. -
242nd street - Van Cortlandt Park station

How are the Sea Beach stations? -
I felt this might be coming. Red And Tan In Hudson County has been shedding routes for years. I agree - no way will the South Boulevard be left without bus service. You know what's funny? NJT and M & W work together on West Side Avenue - and have for decades.

A Question About "Bus Following"
EE Broadway Local replied to EE Broadway Local's topic in Other Transit Systems
Thank you. I know it sounds a little odd. I think Sun Tran does things a little differently. -
Here in Tucson, I've seen buses on routes 8 Broadway-6th Avenue and 4 Speedway that read "BUS FOLLOWING". They stop only on a stop requested and beyond the bus stop area. I've been on a route 8 that became a "BUS FOLLOWING". The bus that follows is generally two to five minutes behiind. On weekedays the #8 has ten minute headways and the #4 has ten to fifteen minute headways. My question is: Is the bus with "BUS FOLLOWING" kind of on a "battery run" to attempt to make up time or to keep a minimal spacing between buses? So far, on the #8, it appears to be a Novabus followed by a Gillig while on the #4 a Novabus followed by a Novabus. My #8 did make my stop requested stop the day I was on it.
