There is no R142A on the / unless your saying R142/A. But you make a good point!

When I look at this thread or the random ones around, makes me feel like this is Facebook and Twitter Sometimes I just love to open up the window on the top side. A nicer air, unless the AC is on. The Bx36 I've been avoiding... That route is hell with only 40 footers. Only see artics like 1 or 2x during the week. It needs artics badly...

1) The 40 doesn't need to go all the way down to 233rd / WPR. You got the 42. Besides its not as heavy compared to 241st (via the 42 to/from 233rd), that's where a lot of people would take the / 42 combo. Tho, I will give you credit on sending the 40 bus to 241, instead of just Rush Hour (and that one bus around 10:30PM out of Valhalla to the Bronx via Elmsford SQ) 2) This again... The 43........ The purpose of the 43X is to give EXPRESS service for those from Medical Center to Mount Vernon and Wakefield. If people want Pelham access, let them use 40/41 LTD to Eastchester Sq for the 45. Or extend the 45 to White Plains. 3) The Bx31 is possible to have it run on Mclean Ave to Central Park Ave to at LEAST the Cross County (Ends) via Empire. This could relief the 20/21 service. The Bx8 is long enough, just have it head to 233rd as someone mentioned above. 4) The Bx35 hmmmm..... Maybe extend it to Hunts Point, instead of the planned route creation coming this 2013.

Agreed. Besides the BxM3 doesn't even get crowded. The most is those using the to/from w1/2 bus. The BxM1/2/18 would offer those on Riverdale Ave in Yonkers an alternative to using Metro-North at Ludlow St RR, Yonkers RR or the bus service. Doubt it would be packed anyways. I would just extend the w40. Usually the w40 would empty out and everyone is walking South 5th St just to hop on the 42, which of course gets crowded. Have it every hour service to/from Medical Center and IRT 241 with all other trips ending at Petrillo Plaza.

You told me? I know the drill ! The R188 gossiper still doesn't get it. But if he wishes to continue, that's fine. More people will bash, and less help from us good folks won't be here to assist.

The only Bus route that will connect with Mount Vernon East RR (By like 2 blocks) is the 40/41LTD/43X, but these don't run down to the Bronx as much as the 42. Mainly Rush hour, with one or two w40 buses outside the rush. TBH, im not bothered much grabbing the 42 at 241 or walking to Mt Vernon E. RR (Yes I've done it lots of times). But for other folks, the other option is just sitting on the 42 to New Rochelle Transportation Center and connect with train service, or just walk a few blocks. Never hurts. If the Bx41 was still running to Wakefield, they could of still had a one seat ride to Fordham Plaza for MNCR service. Which is why I think the Bx41 should get restored to 241. Lot more usage it had. If there is some usage between the Bx7/the w8/(1), I think it would be nice to extend the w8 to at least to IRT 231st Street. Have it go down Kingsbridge Ave, East on 230th, up on Broadway and turn on 231st and begin. Follow the Bx7. Maybe hourly service? Or your suggestion on extending an Express bus route on Riverdale Ave in Yonkers. BxM1, BxM2, BxM18, one of those routes can continue and end at Getty Square. Especially with NIS buses heading to/from the depot... Tho not sure if the Riverdalers / Spuyteners would favor having an extension of its routes to pickup those in Riverdale Ave in Yonkers. (Even tho they can still use the w8 to connect with an Exp).

I like how you "LIKE" certain post that tells the truth on "Waiting and Seeing", yet you continue to conclude as if your the MTA and not slowing down with all this.......... not good man....

And where are the extra cars coming from for the ? The OOS R32s lurking around the system or R46s out of JAM? If this happens.

This is old news, they are already rehabbing them.......

I know, the and does swap, but remember, the Redbirds had those swap signs before. I wouldn't imagine the install something similar to that. Of course the and/or getting it is still slim. To bad these roll signs aren't electronic, which would get changed at the operators cab and make it easy for the crews to change the route/destination.

Just because Corona's R62As have LED side lights, doesn't mean these must go to the . As I and a few others know, even IF the gets it first, who knows if it will last long on that line. I've mentioned before, politicians and riders, may not be happy getting the old back.. Which means, even the can get it, or even the and/or (ITS POSSIBLE, you never know, so no conclusions, even related to swap) can get it. We still don't know at this point where it will go. Hey, the can even stay with its R142As, and can get it... just yank the LEDs or leave them as is. We all know the makes good, and a lot of times dumb decisions, we just gotta take it.

I'm very aware of that. Anyways, would anyone know if there will be spare R62As left once Westchester is full of the R62As?

Ok guys, can we please just get back on topic with the R142A/R188. JunJun, you have been told already. Wait and See is all you need to do. Lets not flame or go down a hill to hell any more.

This kid still don't get it smh .............. I guess some folks don't know about "WAITING and SEEING"... I swear most folks in this community is thirsty as f9ck for all this.. This is why I keep to myself when I'm out there at times....

Please don't tell me your "Junior" on FB.......?

Actress Suing MTA After She Was Forced Out Of Her Home For Second Ave. Subway Construction NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A commercial actress said she was forced out of her apartment by the MTA and now wants them to pay her what they promised. Sally Ardrey was in the Wisk commercials back in the 1970′s, where she said the famous phrase “ring around the collar” as she cleaned her husband’s shirt. The 74-year-old grandmother has filed suit and said she wants the money promised to her by the MTA. The New York Post reported this all began in 2009 when the MTA forced her out of her East 73rd Street rent-controlled apartment because of the Second Avenue subway construction project. She said before moving into a non-rent controlled apartment on East 91st Street, the MTA promised a payment for $65,000 to help with the rent increases. But the lawsuit filed by Ardrey said that payment never came. She said she finds it hard to make ends meet every month. The MTA said they are considering a settlement. http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/09/03/actress-suing-mta-after-she-was-forced-out-of-her-home-for-second-ave-subway-construction/

MannyB = Manhattan Bridge right? Besides that, who knows if the rest of Phase 3 and the rest would occur for years from now. We still got Phase II to put on this list. Also the M15+SBS would give riders an alternative ride to the SAS, and the SAS won't interline the BRT fully, only on the East Harlem/Upper East Side/Yorkville. The rest below 72nd, won't matter at this point.

If this happens, where do you plan to have the portal at? Besides, not sure if this will work especially with residential south of Claremont Parkway, Plus St. Barnabas Hospital up in Belmont. This would be nice tho

Ah I see! So pretty much if I fill in a single fare, I get a paper transfer or just transfer in the card? And this transfer can be used within any other Express Bus route?

But that only exist with the Unlimited Express Bus cards. Can you request transfer if you pay 5.50 Regular / 2.75 Dis/Sn? I've been on the Express and thats denied. I think you should be allowed to get a transfer, even if it cost an extra buck.

I would only allow Express bus transfers, for those in an outer borough who wants to go to another outer borough via Manhattan. While there is Subway to use, but another option would be nice, even if the transfer were to cost something. I mean NJ Transit allows Express bus transfers, even tho its different since most folks are going to different counties in NJ.

Were you from the Bronx before tho? You do have a good knowledge ma man! Now if I only I had the same knowledge for Brooklyn like you! lol Only know little. But yes, the Bx41 needs it back. But who knows now, they built a damn bus only Station next to the IRT Gun Hill Station, which caused a few bus stop changes around. As for toenail clipping, it happens on the Local Subway and Bus, I'm still waiting to see it on the Railroad, which is a never seen! Same for the Express lol But that is fking disgusting. There have been some swapping going on between KB, WF and GH. So yes you will be seeing some more KB LFSAs around. The Bx9 was exclusively LFSA, but now the Bx1, Bx2, Bx41, SOMETIMES the M100 sees the LFSAs. The Bx55, haven't seen any yet. All this is for next years BRT41.

The only place I can think of is where the M34 ends near the Javit Center. Enough space for it. But, I say the M104 is find where it is.

It did before, but now n0. I still think they need to extend that route back to where it previously ended. That route had more ridership up there, then the Bx39.

True, but even with no traffic blocking the BRT lanes on the Bx12/M15 routes, most drivers won't use the BRT lanes. For the M34, the only section I can think of where the lanes are not usually used is between 5th and Dyer Ave West bound, and 6th to 5th Ave Eastbound due to parked buses, trucks, police cars and cars coming out of the NJ495. But other then that, there is better enforcement along 34th St..
