    That was just my rant today since I was on the B41 -- shit was a headache. If they could make the whole "No Standing" restriction from 7AM - 7PM on Flatbush Avenue to make it a straight through-fare, then we can see some movement.

    Driving down Flatbush Avenue is a pain in my ass. #endrant

    Either a nice, soft hearted guy, or the BO was running hot. :tup: The latter would be me! lmao

    Update on recent transfers from Fresh Pond to FLA - 9595, 9598 & 9599 have been in the maintenance bay since last week, thus not being in service. Should be out and about by Friday afternoon (if not, sooner).
  5. Acela Express
    Yep.

    Who cares; get rid of the 1996 RTS' as soon as possible. I had two of them last night on the B44 and it pissed me off. 9080 (today) & 9082 are possibly the best two I could've driven from that class.

    9598 & 9599 in at Flatbush from Fresh Pond - in maintenance bay today being registered, still with FP decals.

    5045 @ East New York from Flatbush.
  9. Acela Express
    Thanks. That was a real case on Tuesday afternoon running the B46LTD. :tup:
  10. Acela Express
    Yeah, confirmed. I saw the crew dispatcher giving directions to an operator for LGA depot yesterday, so this was a little over 24 hours ago.
  11. Acela Express
    I'll find out when I go back to work Friday.
  12. Acela Express
    I'll miss 8860 - bus was a beast, at least when I drive it. :cool:
  13. Acela Express
    Be happy it's $5.50 and not $10-15.
  14. Acela Express
    9605-9608 are at Flatbush from Queens Village, currently in the maintenance area being registered with FLA. Doesn't sound like a move/transfer to me... :eek:
  15. Acela Express
    Neither came from Flatbush.
  16. Acela Express
    Only way that's supposed to happen is if your encoded transfer expired (duration is 2 hours & 18 minutes) during the time you were on whatever bus initially then hopped onto the N6/N32, then it deducts another fare off.
  17. Acela Express
    So where's your thread in the Photos Section? I wanna see! :tup:
  18. Acela Express
    Don't worry, it had nothing to do with you. Whatever you see us writing, it's more than likely the trip sheet or OVCR card (aka defect card). We don't manually log any fare-beats; that's what the farebox and F5 function is used for.
  19. Acela Express
    I think that's the rule, but not sure how express operators are told to handle those situations, ya know. I usually will ask you to wipe the magnetic strip and try again, and if it's still unreadable, I let you pass through and just hit F5 - technically it is a 'farebeat'. There's some folks who's cards are damaged and they know we'll (most of us at least) let them on after those two tries.
  20. Acela Express
    He was a prick because your card didn't work and asked you to use another one? Really? :tdown:
  21. Acela Express
    Hybrids ain't going no where. More than likely the older 96 RTS' will be displaced to MTA Bus or scrapped, then with a few of those 9600s being moved elsewhere. The 5000s aren't going anywhere since they have the shields installed, and needed for our routes.
  22. Acela Express
    9389 also delivered from UP to FLA -- in service on the B46 tonight.
  23. Acela Express
    Is there a reason you guys keep posting "non-moves", basically random stuff in the regional "moves" thread? I don't get it... Especially when there's an random thoughts page already available..
  24. Acela Express
    Sorry, 9390 is at Flatbush too.
  25. Acela Express
    9383 is also here at Flatbush from UP -- in service today on the B41.
