    D60's I didn't go over to look at the numbers.

    Exactly!!! What a lot of people don't understand is that we are the drivers (or operators which ever you prefer lol) we know the schedule better than what these people (in their comfy office chairs) who make the schedule. -- Yesterday I noticed next to the 207th street yard there was a storage lot with some artics in there. Any body know what that's about?

    Chances are that bus was late LOL TA Rule, climate control must be engaged in the "on" position at all times.

    5796 in the house @ KB still has GH stickers.

    This MaBSTOA section is really interesting! http://bus.nycsubway...pix?nsystem=377 -- Looking at a lot of the pics of the New Look Fishbowls Ms. B (Supt.) wasn't lying when she said back then they had no right side mirror!

    Just took a look. Wow, a Man artic in 1974 I would have never known they had artic's back then lol (It was probably just a pilot)

    I'm in the 2,000's lol...I have a better chance taking the next promo exam.

    You mean you love the smell of sweaty arm pits and some stranger breathing on your shoulder lol.

    Kind of sucks they get it easy now. Only thing is if they ever drive an RTS they are gonna be mounting curbs like crazy and panicking because there's no convex mirror on the right side lol

    Not quite true. 4373 from my depot was retrofitted with the trolley brake set up and from what I've heard from the new guys at the depot is that they did their 7 day training on hybrids.

    I don't think WF has a tripper on the Bx4A but yesterday I saw 7690 possibly as a loaner to GH on the Bx4A

    I have good hearing so no...but other ops have complained that the partitions have become a huge communication barrier. I personally like the partition's, I take all the air out on my seat and sit low to constitute the whole "out of sight...out of mind" mentality, It gives the bus a more subway car feel being that the passengers don't bother you at all.

    Man....they should put those roll down window visors that the LFSA's and Bee-Line's Orion V's have in the D60's when they overhaul them.

    I am interested in knowing...what exactly causes that sound?

    5802, 5805 and 5813 all in the house at KB I also spotted 5799 (Bx 12 SBS), 5795 (Bx40) and another WF LFSA on the Bx 4A today. They may just be temp loaners to GH.

    Wow, I feel even more special for actually being able to operate 1078 while it was at it's last days at west farms...power on the flat but once it was on an incline it would roll back. Yeah, I believe it has more to do with the heavy vehicular and pedestrian traffic Manhattan has to deal with because each of those 55xx's from Quill haul some serious ass. Although I do have to admit that there are some oldies that outperform the 02-03's like 5295.
  19. youngblaze
    Ahh so I see that one joined 6035 from CS as well.
  20. youngblaze
    We lost a good one...5703 from KB is now at GH.
  21. youngblaze
    WHATTT?!?! the 02-03 are the best D60's only thing is that sometimes you get a hard up shift that even rocks me in the seat but other than that they are better buses...better acceleration, braking etc...
  22. youngblaze
    6035 from CS is at KB -- also spotted 5943 on the Bx15 with no depot decals
  23. youngblaze
    There were 3 of them out there yesterday lol...the past two Saturday's there have been at least 2 out there on the Concourse so you might get lucky today.
  24. youngblaze
    I saw one of those HAI TMC RTS's out of JG driving along the Concourse yesterday. It then went on to make a right on Fordham Rd. I wonder what it was doing in The Bronx.
  25. youngblaze
    Lucky you I had to deal with 9304 and 9325 out of LGA...I also noticed a few guys taking their NYS CDL road test on Hybrid's as well.
