  1. That's one of the easiest fixes on the bus. Just push the window out and as far up as you can go and let it slam
  2. Except you can actually move a train with the doors open. ...10 years of this site and still oozing of new information left and right, isn' it amazing?
  3. My oldest son graduated from the stroller and walks full-time (thank god lol), and my youngest one (4 months old) uses a stroller. On the off chance I have to actually have to take him on the bus (normally I drive, if not I strap him to my chest) I fold the stroller a block before the bus shows up. I don't use them big bulky ass strollers as they take up space.
  4. Never knew the conductor waa the one that moves the train ...learn something new every day here on this site
  5. I take a small hiatus and come back to this...
  6. They can easily share a stop if anything. Both the M60 and Q70 share stops within the airport and the receipts say "LG00" instead of the individual route.
  7. The ones in Livonia will be for the 42 St (S). Probably just rotating the cars out
  8. There's no such thing as off-topic in a thread with no specific topic lol. But to answer your question, it's kinda hard to answer since most bus depots started out as trolley barns and whatnot. If I had to take a wild guess, I would say either Hale or the old 12 St depot.
  9. It's in the new SBS scheme. All incoming buses by default will come in wearing the new scheme and the SBS scheme will be wrapped over it...well the lower half anyway
  10. Well send every other via Crosstown then. No need to extend the and send the on some ungodly reroute
  11. via Cranberry normal via bridge Manhattan bound ...simple
  12. The latest plan is that everything from 2010 is only gonna get the USB and Wi-Fi upgrade and keep the blue stripe. Only the incoming buses will get the wave scheme
  13. Thats not how the back doors work. I'll explain it using the Novas: When you turn the door handle to rear on the local buses, the back doors will unlock (green light comes on) and will stay unlocked until someone touches the tape/bar, in which the doors will open and stay open. When the operator turns the handle to close, the doors will start to close. If the sensor picks up something in the doorway, the doors will automatulically reopen and reclose as many times as it needs until they're closed and locked. On SBS buses/buses set in SBS mode, the doors automatically unlock and open once the driver turns the handle to rear. As with the local buses,once the handle gets turned to close, the doors will close and recycle if the sensor catches something in the door area.
  14. We're only getting 5 buses. The 32 uses 4 buses for the entire line and the 39 uses 1.
  15. -City Hall LL does not have a platform up to code to be used by passengers. - The only runs about 10 trains a weekday. It isn't it's own separate line, they are all just trains.
  16. Those are the blueprint buses. Generally speaking, those come in first to tread the waters and see what needs to be changed. Once they get what they need, the production buses come in while the blueprint buses go back and get their changes. Usually they come back at the end of the order.
  17. 242 St to Rector St, loop via old SF via bridge at all times ®Court St to 95 St, 71 Av to Canal St Ditmars Blvd to Canal St
  18. Compared to other depots citywide, Yukon is still fairly young. It was built brand new 36 years ago. ETC is more or less the Yukon parking lot for the express buses since that little small lot across the street can't hold all of them. Castleton I can agree with you hands down needs a rehab
  19. It's still a huge toss-up on which artics ENY is gonna get. They're still deciding between the Bronx 4700s, or just a piece of the XD60 pie itself.
  20. If I had a dollar for every time he said that, or the whole orange spiel, I can fund phase 3 myself lol
