Re: Your new avatar. I like the idea of a Concourse SBS and had been thinking about it for a while, but I think there should just be a Bx1 SBS. No Bx2 SBS. I think the Bx2 should be extended to Riverdale Av at all times, and the Bx1 SBS should operate via 231, Bailey, Van Cortlandt Av West, Sedgwick and then follow the current Bx1 route to Mitchell Houses. Stops would be on 231 at Riverdale Av, Broadway, then 238/Bailey, Sedgwick/VC Avs, Tracey Towers, Bedford, Kingsbridge, Fordham, Burnside, Tremont, Mt Eden, 170, 167, 165, 161, 149, and 138/3 Av.
Bx2 local would operate via 231, Bailey, Albany Cres, Heath, Fort Independence, Sedgwick, and then it would loop around the block (South on Concourse, 149, Courtlandt, 3rd, 138, and then head back north on the Concourse) for the few people that still want Concourse/144 and Concourse/138. The loop routing would eliminate all those bad turns the N/B Bx2 has to make to get from 3 Av to 149 St. Passengers would be entitled to loop privileges.

I'm not sure. I haven't kept in touch with him. Try googling him or going through old subtalk and subchat threads. The only information I have is that he called himself Booge on said message boards.

Does he have any Bronx bus maps by any chance? I like collecting them and learn about past service patterns. :cool: The thing is, I dunno what to exchange in return other than some bus brochures, maps, service advisories, etc... from last decade.

I got it from an old subtalker/subchatter named Booge. In exchange I gave him a CD with some of my transit photographs on it. He suggested we make that exchange so I could get that map in addition to a 1976 Brooklyn bus map, 1989 Queens bus map, 1997 Queens bus map, and 1982 (I believe) Manhattan bus map.

How did you obtain it other than ebay? Do you know anyone that has extras of old Bronx bus maps that I can obtain without any credit card? (don't have one)

This is not completely up-to-date, but it's very close to the readings we have now: http://www.hopetunnel.org/bus/dest/NYCTA_08-01-2006.txt -

Something not seen in years, a RTS (8785) in Kingsbridge. I think it had an Ulmer Park sticker. -
BUS - Random Thoughts Thread

I remember too. I would hear it practically every day about 6-7 years ago. But Kingsbridge fixed it about 5-6 years ago, well before it left the depot. Those RTSs left Kingsbridge about 3-4 years ago. Unless 8870 has started making the air raid noise once again, it's a different bus. Also there is a RTS in Kingsbridge now. 8785, probably from Ulmer Park.
