Kingsbridge Bus

How many more 2011 C40's is JG slate to get?

 

A whole lot, they are supposed to replace all of the old C40's, 320- 490, somethin around there, not the exact number but should be close

5705 from KB is now at GH.

 

It's not a good shot but an interesting sight, 5705 on the Bx12

The kneeling sound of 4405 is really loud, I was able to hear it from about a block and a half away and still sounded louder than as if I were standing next to any other bus

I propose

 

Bx3: Rerouted via Macombs Road,then in Bx11 route to GWB weekdays

 

Bx11: Rerouted via Macombs Road and UnIversity Avenue to Replace Bx18 and Allieviate Bx3/Bx36

 

 

1) Sooo...

Are you proposing two routes to run via Macombs Road? The stops on Macombs Road are lightly used by current Bx18 passengers.

2) Bx11 service is heavily used along Highbridge and Washington Heights. If this service is unavalable, most people will go to the Bx35 which is bad enough during the weekdays, The Bx35 currently has to skip both 169st and Jerome Ave at times due to overcrowding during the morning rush.

3) The Bx3 is definetly needed along the portion of University Ave between Grant-174 and Tremont Ave

I saw 5447 entering Easchester as well as another D60HF which I could not read the number of, they look worst than some of the 10XX's there

A bus operator on the Bx33 was removed from their bus this afternoon at Walnut Ave and 138st by a superintendent after being caught texting and driving. From what I heard, the bus operator was not fired on the spot. I also heard that he ran a red light while texting and almost struck a pedestrian. A friend of mine had to pick up his bus from 138st and Walnut Ave and operate it on the Bx36 which cause him to be late. Bus number was 7714. Goes to show that there are many idiots out there.

Off topic, but 7714's farebox malfunctioned later today.

318 is at West Farms, there is a photo in the photos section.

312 is at West Farms, currently on the Bx36

306 is in, saw it on the Bx11

275 and 6270 are at West Farms

I'm assuming 6270 is just a loaner.

270 and 273 are at West Farms

Don't know if im late but 5816 is at Quill, saw it on the M86

5634 is also at Quill with 126st stickers

I just spotted 4876 and 4892 headed towards Zerega on the Cross Bronx Expy

4876 was flashing "New Flyer" on the destination sign

4892 was flashing "UPDATED 8-16-11" on the destination sign

291 is at West Farms, saw it on the Bx35 in the morning and the Bx32 in the evening

289 is at West Farms

Precisely, you are lucky. Lucky you On that topic, I have yet to see any new C40LF's. I didn't see 230 when it was in the Bronx and I have yet to see 266.

Best bet is the Bx36 mainly between 2-6pm

With the new pick, I'm not sure what time the operator who pulls out C40's almost everyday would be where but he tends to drive very fast, especially when he is limited

9241 and 9247 are at WF

9082 is at West farms with UP stickers, saw it on the Bx35 and Bx18

Correction, the bus I saw was 9182, I apologize for any confusion my last post may have caused

For some strange reason, I saw 5621 on the M86 with the quill stickers still on it...either 100 street misses pull out and this was a one day loaner, or those guys are just lazy and skipped that part of the pre service check.

Dosen't Quill do a tripper on the M86?

9082 is at West farms with UP stickers, saw it on the Bx35 and Bx18

For some reason 8949 was cut out of the WF roster, A friend of mine saw it this past Saturday on the Bx-19. Also 5814 is in at WF.

8949 is still at WF, it was on the Bx36 yesterday

5684 at Kingsbridge with West farms stickers, spotted on Bx2

West farms will be returning 6007 to KB by tommorrow from what I hear.

6128 is at West Farms

Spotted it multliple times on the Bx35 with Gun Hill Stickers.

I rode 7819 twice yesterday and didn't notice until the second time I got on the bus that there were several wires sticking out next to where the bus operator enters the code.

I spotted 2407 on the Cross Bronx Expy probably headed towards Zerega.

6003 is at West Farms.
