  1. NICE is not going to spend an additional $300K+ per bus to equip hybrids. CNG is almost clean as it gets.
  2. Well two people were on the tracks at Atlantic Av... 1 dies, another in hospital: http://bed-stuy.patch.com/groups/police-and-fire/p/one-killed-one-hospitalized-after-barclays-center-subway-incident-bed-stuy Also hearing another incident at 161 St on the D train? as well. Not a good day.
  3. You know why MTA demand $30-50 million more. Nassau undercut the deal with MTA. Everybody knows it, Nassau is not paying fare share to the bus system.
  4. Try maneuver at the Kings Plaza bus stop terminal... the B9 spot which a lot of B9 B/Os hate it.
  5. Kawasaki wins the M-9 order: page 74-75 http://www.mta.info/mta/news/books/pdf/130916_0930_LIRR.pdf
  6. The 600+90 bus order is diesel only. The BYD bus is 100% electric. No diesel fuel. Get that straight.
  7. DesignLine = Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.

  8. why go to bathroom when you can carry this...
  9. Straphangers... Now, its dangerous for short people to hold on.
  10. That map has changed, I think its just the proposal way back in early 2000s. MTA is fully committed to build a true SAS from Seaport to 125. There is plans for 125 St/Lex on 125 St to near Lenox Av for trail tracks, maybe a future crosstown 125St?
  11. we will have to wait for the next MTA Capital Program to see if they have added money for phase 2. The exciting news should be when it is open for real.
  12. That was a 12-9. http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/man_in_subway_suicide_leap_m0YN03zeO0Zu2Nh1wpm3cJ
  13. Old crappy Gillig Phamtom bus in Long Island Bus decal http://www.ebay.com/itm/5x7-PRINT-MTA-LI-BUS-GILLIG-549-AT-MITCHEL-FIELD-DEPOT-APRIL-1-1995-/290949612967?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43bdf2c5a7
  14. thanks. unless someone repost the comments from Newsday article.
  15. Since Newsday is only access by Craplevision customers, can someone repost the latest news like.... 7-19: NICE eyes biggest bus improvements in years www.newsday.com/long-island/nice-eyes-biggest-bus-improvements-in-years-1.5729688
  16. MOST of the schedules pdf links work except a few like the N20, N22, etc. they are the oldest available from archive.org. http://web.archive.org/web/20021029224955/http://www.libus.org/libus/routes/routes.htm
  17. That code is long gone when MTA reprogram to the NYCT destination sign style.
  18. It is pathetic... NEARLY an HOUR ride from 59th Street to Atlantic Av on around 12pm to 12:50pm. I counted 15+ stops..., holding at 59 St for 10 mins and 36 St for 15 mins to let the go by. No announcements at the stations. Very little information from the conductors. Lots of angry commuters because they are LATE. Normally at least 15 mins from 59 St to Atlantic. Just great. Great job, MTA for little to NO communication to the customers.
  19. There is... Greg Mocker over dramatic, harassing report: http://landing.newsinc.com/wpix/video.html?freewheel=91044&sitesection=wpix&VID=24617536
  20. Southbound 1 train hit the idiot guy where he was sitting on the platform dangling his legs right near the train enters the station. Legs might be cut off...?
  21. Artics are overkill and its not the solution. B-9 just need more buses on certain times, maybe school trips and plus add some supervisors to make the B-9 run on time.
