4487 is done

We're gonna build the SAS, and make SEPTA pay for it...bigly

Just got off work (I work near the depot) and 6006 is still there

The ones from a few years ago were just loaners from Ulmer Park. Hardly the case

5102 has engine cradle issues and it's not worth the fix.

A 4 car train of 179s would be SHORTER than the 4 car sets of 68s they already use

During the GOH era, the 32s were rebuilt on the basis of how bad they were, so the worse ones were done first. Not all of them were done with its respective mate, so there were many mismatched sets. Not counting the few that were mismatched because of accidents.

It's not rocks per se, it's the parking garage built above it that is crumbling onto the yard below. It made the news months ago

Settle down

Yeah the order got changed. Gun Hill is getting the piece Grand Av was supposed to get.

Seems self-explanatory lol Training the shop guys to apply/remove the SBS wraps without making it look like a disaster on wheels

No decals, no radios, no fareboxes They were legit there

He's an operator out of Yukon. It was probably an internal memo that was sent out

There's no standees allowed on the CNG cruisers because of weight restrictions.

6848 still sitting at LGA

Yeah it has the multicolored version of the signs in the Prevosts

Skip-stop is still being done east of the junction

To be safe, use one per person. Don't even have to be anything on it lol

In a rather odd move, 6845 and 6846 are both sitting in LGA

Lol my bad, I was thinking of the Bx6...Bronx is No Mans Land to me

He wants only the Limited trips to use artics, and that just isn't feasible without completely changing the way every single run is set up. I'll use an example... Operator X starts his day and his first trip to Hunts Point is on the local. Going by his logic, he naturally should get a shorty (we'll say 7746). He finishes his first trip, and his next trip going to Washington Heights is also a local. Finishes that trip also with no problem. Now his next trip to Hunts Point is a limited trip. Once again, going by his logic, he's supposed to have an artic. Operator X has 7746 and has a limited trip to do to Hunts Point. Now what is he to do? That's the whole point I'm trying to make...

Local routes and their respective SBS counterparts are considered separate routes for a reason. Your whole day is either on one or the other. Besides, the entire line is 100% artics I've already explained to you the other day about local and limited routes

It's not feasible given the way many of the runs are set up. You could do a trip one way as a limited, and your next trip out could be a local, and vice versa.

On the R46...yes

A few years ago. 5658 had a scaffolding (and part of a building) fall on the back half of it on the Bx15, while 5656 crashed on the Bx19. They took the front half of 5658 and the back half of 5656 and made a "new" 5656. The bad halves of both buses (presumably renumbered 5658, not that it matters) were put together (for a lack of a better term and sat at Eastchester. Fun fact... Unrelated to those 2 incidents, 5657 caught fire so at one point 5656-5658 were all out of service at the same time.
