Bet you guys wasn't expecting an NG on the B9 tonight :-p

they were literally coming every 30-90 seconds...

 

 

Sounds like the 46...

The B41 was so f**ked up they had an operator from Fresh Pond do an LTD trip from KP to Cadman Plaza..

 

 

I was gonna do the same but damn they don't have no where to sleep at KB lol

 

Oh, fucck that.

We have 2 MCIs from Ulmer Park in track 1, so I went to sleep in that bitch.

Transit changed their mind again...all buses will complete their (Sunday) run as scheduled.

 

That was the plan all along; they just needed folks to get to where they were going quickly to evacuate the streets.

Now, of course we were gonna complete our Sunday schedules since #1, what are we gonna do when we get back to the depot, right? #2, it gives the shifters enough time to park all buses coming into the depot at a slow pace rather all at once; trying to park the remainder of buses at 9pm would've been a madhouse.

I stayed at the depot after my run last night, so got a full 24 hour shift in, then found a way home.

Its a switch on all buses (well the ones that have back doors) where the back doors will open on their own when you turn the handle to open the back doors.

 

Why do you think the SBS buses do it on their own...

Eh, that's somewhat correct, but actually when the handle is in front-and-rear door position (or just rear door), the back doors will only open automatically when the operator flips the touchbar bypass button, and must do so every time he wants to open those rear doors at will.

However, your scenario works on SBS buses. The LFSAs have a knob for SBS mode (which enables the flashing blue lights in front, and opens all doors automatically once handle is in the rear-and-front door position) and regular operation mode.

umm just have that new route come to williamsburg via meeker and end it at navy yard or marcy ave. Direct links from brooklyn trains.

 

Good idea...

... but I suggested the B48 since it's low on ridership and this can attract many passengers from around Brooklyn going to LGA.

Just a wild thought I had over the past few days, but has there ever been any consideration of an direct bus route from Brooklyn to Laguardia Airport? We already have the B15 and the A train connecting the borough to JFK, why not have a connection to LGA as well?

AFAIK, the only connection is via the F, G & R trains, then transfer to the Q33/47 buses.

I took a look at the Brooklyn bus map, and one possible line that may get some usage is the B48 to LGA via the Kosciuszko Bridge into Queens.

Possible suggestions?

The Flatbush stretch could use the service more. They have NOTHING except B41 non-LTD. This would probably draw people from that overcrowded line. Though adding the train station would probably help too.

 

The B41 has enough runs as it is. The only issue with the line is constant traffic congestion on Flatbush Avenue.

 

 

do u always drive a NG or is it sometimes a RTS

 

Mostly NGs, unless there's none available upon pullout.

Nope 5284 is suppose to go to Gun Hill...

You have it under the MJQ assignment per the roster.

And then the door smacks me in the face and we got a problem.... jk

 

Pay attention then, bruh.

Better hope you don't get my bus on the B46 my man.

 

 

Those sensors are sensitive sometimes. Even if you get something in the sensor area, the doors will open

 

Not with me; I hit the emergency brake override button to get them bitches closed, quick.

Ok guys lets get back on topic here please????? Thank You.

 

Ok, moderator.

I drive a car and a commuter van (Queens). So I know well, and I frequently travel those streets from time to time..

 

You're a dollar van op?

When did 9480 come to FB? The only 9400 I ever saw was 9491 (a while ago) and I haven't seen that bus in a while.

 

It was moved to 126 a few months ago.

I've only had that bus once when it was at Flatbush.

Caught the last B44 Limited of the night. Bus was 5181 and the operator drove fast like how a limited should feel like.

 

I know exactly who you're talking about - that's my boy. I saw him on the fuel line tonight as I was going home.

If you want a real LTD operator, you better hope you're on my bus one night. lol

Not sure if this is news or not, so I'll just state it here: I think I saw 9570 on the B41 today. So I take it FB has 9570-2 now?

 

Old news. We have 9560, 68-72.

Both 5144 & 9635 can die, slow.

5144 is worse piece of shit I ever had. Fucck that bus.

472 at Gleason, deadheading to Brownsville 2 mins ago

He's good I seen him post a couple pics with female counterparts....now some other guys on here....idk man lol

 

I'm fuccking with him. I know him personally. lmfao!

I was walking with my girlfriend earlier today

 

Hold on, fact or fiction?

9569 at Flatbush from Grand Avenue

More like ungrateful, whiny, bitchy, unappreciative foamers...

 

The hoes must stop their fucckery.
