  1. I have an idea for a new service pattern on the SAS opening in 2016. Astoria-Coney Island, broadway local via bridge 96th/2nd-Coney Island, broadway express via bridge, Forest Hills-Bay Ridge, broadway local via tunnel -reduced service overall, more , & trains instead 96th/2nd-Bay Ridge, broadway express via tunnel (local at night)
  2. Not sure if this has been mentioned but 4258 and probably more of that fleet are now at Yukon. That means one thing, CAS is making space for the New Flyers!
  3. NICEEEEE!!!

  4. that looks nice.. ill take a NG sign that says:

     

    S83 Limited

    S83 Pt Richmond

    & then switches to

    S63 Bay Ridge

    86th St Sta

    S63 via Victory

  5. I would like to make a request: orion ng sign S53 LIMITED S53 PT RICHMOND S53 via BROADWAY
  6. B90 LIMITED - Bay Ridge to Cross Bay via 86th Street via Kings Highway via Linden Blvd via Cross Bay Blvd This way you can travel from Staten Island to Jamaica, Queens without stepping foot into the subway and only transferring twice. Q87 - Cross Bay to Westchester Square via Rockaway Blvd via Linden Blvd via Merrick Blvd via Utopia Parkway via East Tremont Avenue

  8. Can i request one in orange please? S54 ST GEORGE FERRY S54 via MANOR RD
  9. I've been out and about on Staten Island and have yet to see a single O7 either today or yesterday.
  10. I'm definitely going to pass up on the S44/S94 tomorrow morning, for the S40 or S46, to try and catch an O7 during the AM Rush.
  11. The three O7 NGs are there. I saw 3802 last week, and managed to spot an O7NG (it ould have been either 3809 or 3807) sitting inside the yard by the security gate around 1230pm today. This is the real deal people!
  12. The S53 is a CAS route and runs over the Verrazono Bridge. The S53 was the first CAS route to have the Level II O5s, so I wouldn't be surprised if the O7s start off on the S53.
  13. I was on the S96 yesterday afternoon, and saw 3802 sitting right there in the front next to some O5s. And just a few hours ago, Trevor got this shot of it! http://www.subchat.com/buschat/read.asp?Id=112438 I pass on that one. The CAS routes need more variety because all it has is 1999 Orion Vs and nothing else. At least when I ride the YUK routes, there's a chance it could be a '93 O5, Nova, TMC, or '99 O5. The only Yukon route I would like to see the NGs on is the S44.
  14. That's exactly the corner! I was out and about today on the Island (S46, S48, and S54) and it was like a 1999 Orion V world with a few Novas living it in it. No sight of any O7 NGs, although I did catch a Yukon Nova on the S54 which is pretty rare
  15. Omg, I think it's pretty crazy to see that video, because I over in that area twice today, and I remember seeing 8292 on the S61 heading up Victory as I was getting off my S46. :eek: I guess the person taking the video had just about the same luck as I did, trying to catch the O7 in service. @East New York.... the O5s sometimes do hit the ground! I remember last month on the S98, we went all up on the curb once, definitely leaving a mark on the O5.
  16. It's about time! After enduring hell with the SI Division, I think it's very nice that they've made a sharp improvement and now new buses are headed this way too. Yep, your right about that. I spotted all of the few TMCs (about 5 out of 300+ local buses) at Yukon in only a 3 hour sitting in the St. George area. I will definitely make sure I'm out and about tomorrow to go hunt for the O7s.
  17. You think the SIR is bad? Try getting around by bus on SI..during any weekend. The headways are the worst! The MTA just needs increases every on SI. We need more limited service as well, but of course they'll never see that until a crush-loaded bus crashes with people standing up to the front doorway.
  18. It was stated by the Mayor's Staten Island Transportation Task Force that the R44s will be replaced by 2011. I'm actually anticipating it because the SIR is so boring with the R44s.
