  1. It's like 3 - 3 ½ weeks. After your line training you'll go back to Zerega one more time for graduation, and most of your day afterwards is BSing with your classmates. The very next day you report back to your depot, and you're on ya own. Your first day will make you nervous. Just get over it right now. lol
  2. Congrats, Jamar. It's not over though; you still have 3 weeks of line training to deal with when you're settled in at your new depot before you graduate and receive your operator's badge. Keep up the good work, guy.
  3. It was my last trip on the 46 to Kings Plaza, so a little after 11PM.
  4. Saw 4843 from Ulmer Park on the B6 last night at Avenue H and Utica.
  5. http://www.nyctransitforums.com/forums/f181/shots-buses-here-there-%7C-dec-18-2011-a-33823.html
  6. More than likely going back to Gleason with one of Zerega's Superintendents. They take 278 all the way into Brooklyn, and off at 39th Street, or 'sometimes' off at Tillary and take the local streets.
  7. 230 was already sent to West Farms to train their operators, so that theory is out the window. And, BTW, 947 was being sent to Zerega or just leaving Zerega because that's the correct route from JG on the Bruckner Exp. (or Blvd.); either way, it passed the streets that would've routed it to West Farms, anyway. There's usually a C40LF departing from JG every morning to head into Zerega for training purposes, FYI... usually operated by an Superintendent.
  8. This is not a transfer or bus move; that bus is used for training classes from Zerega to pass qualification course. 9655 from Flatbush is also used for training purposes. It sounds like the Superintendent took his/her students to Long Island for the day.
  9. He's not bothering me at all, because I know how he is, and he's been that way for YEARS -- talking a whole lotta nothing. It's all good. But thanks though.

  10. Wrong. JG was last operating RTS Nova 5230-5249 when they were first transferred down to Brooklyn from Kingsbridge I believe a few years ago, prior to 2005 (but certainly not 12 years) I believe.
  11. Happened months ago. It's a good bus too --- ungoverned. lol
  12. How does the "LTD" work with the B103? I see in this thread someone mentions the 103 not stopping in the Park Slope area - does this relate to why it's labeled an LTD service? I figured LTD would come into play when there's local runs on the 103, too, but there's not.
  13. Funny you mention those specifics- I had 9644 last week Tuesday on 41/46 split-run; had 8756 on Sunday afternoon for my first half on the B44, which was a rocket bus; and 8912 on Thursday afternoon on the B41, which was a great bus, too, except the radio was busted. lol It sucks making your ADA announcements without the PA.
  14. I knew about 5056 because I was operating it on the B49 about a month ago.
