Kingsbridge Bus

6124 and 6151 are at West Farms.

I always wonder how much of that is just people at the depot fooling around...

 

6707, right,

it wears Amsterdam stickers while it's at Amsterdam

it goes to Quill, gets Quill stickers

it goes to MHV, keeps the Quill stickers

it stays at MHV, gets new Amsterdam stickers

and now at MHV, it gets MHV stickers (8 months after they got the bus)

 

Huh?? They put Amsterdam stickers on a bus with Quill stickers out of MHV?

I think i remember seeing Quill stickers on the left and AMS stickers on the right while 6707 served out of Manhattanville a few months back.

The LFSA at WF is 5772.

I have just confirmed by a West Farms bus operator that the bus inside West Farms depot is 1288. It will be used for training while West Farms batch arrives.

I have been told by a West Farms bus operator that an LFSA is at West Farms from Kb for training, I do not have an exact number.

6079 is at West Farms, I keep seeing it on the Bx35

8949 has been returned to West Farms last week, was on the Bx11

I spotted 230 yesterday on the Bx36 with a broken front LED sign. There was a paper in the front displaying Bx36.

Is it just me or is 7746 way louder than 7691?

i rode 7746 twice yesterday (coincidence), and it makes a lot of noise.

I saw 6007 and 6009 on the Bx11 with KB stickers last week.

I spotted 8820 with West Farms stickers

1045 is at Eastchester for scrap, i also spotted an NG sitting there on Saturday with the RTS's and MCI's in the back of the depot.

5401 is at Eastchester for scrap

5681 is at West Farms, in service today on the Bx36

1084 from west farms is sitting at Eastchester for scrap

1. For #3, was it something like this?

September 1999

 

2. IF the Bx5 still traveled to Pelham Parkway at that time, was it a rush hour only service? If all buses ended at Pelham Bay, ignore this question.

 

3. Did the Bx6 have a weird branch like this?

February 1984, credit to Harry.

 

4. Was the Bx13 truncated to Yankee Stadium? The 1993 map shows that it didn't go past Yankee Stadium.

 

Sorry for the bizarre questions.

1. No, the buses just ended at the freeway exit on the map.

2.Route terminated at Pelham Bay Pk

3. The Bx6 did not have the crazy bus pattern shown, they just ended at the very end of Food Ctr drive

4. Bx13 service to 3 ave during rush hours existed during this time

Thanks for the responses. I have more.

 

1. Did the Bx30 travel to 204 St and then Webster Av Co-op City bound or is it like today's pattern?

 

2. Did the Bx28 short-turns at Jerome Av exist? Was the Fordham Ctr terminal a weekday and Saturday-only terminal?

 

3. Any details about the Bx29? Was it only City Island and Pelham Bay or it was extended to Bay Plaza?

 

4. Was the Bx35 terminating at Whitlock Av at that time or at West Farms Rd?

 

Answers are truly appreciated. :tup:

1. I didn't even notice this untill now, the Bx30 did run to Webster, then to Gun Hill Rd

2. The short turn at Moshulu pkwy and Jerome ave was up to 3 times for frequent at times than to Fordham. During rush hours, buses to Fordam rd ranged between every 15-20 minutes weekdays. No Sunday service like you said to Fordam Rd. Some buses also short turned at 206st and Bainbridge.

3. The Bx12 and Bx29 both went to Bay Plaza but didn't go inside where all the stores are. The last stop was Edison and Baychester Ave right off the freeway.

4. the Bx35 terminated at West Farms Rd.

on the previous questions I have not answered...

The Bx42 terminated at Balcom Ave

All Bx1 buses terminated at 231st and Riverdal ave

6021 is at KB

6098 is at KB

I rode a New Flyer Bus on the Bx12 +SBS today. Wha....?

I guess there was a problem with one of the LFSAs.

That's funny, i saw 5761 on the Bx12 +Select+ last saturday and yet, there were like 4 LFSA's sitting in the depot.

I appreciate the response. Just a few more questions since bus and train service patters are my main interest..

 

1. Does it show the Bx55 via 161 St? checkmatechamp13 scanned his 1993 map last year and it still showed that branch, even though the early '90s subway maps didn't.

 

2. Was the Bx26 Bedford Park branch a weekday only terminal, while the Fordham Ctr was a regular terminal?

 

3. Did the Bx1 travel to Riverdale/246 St? Did the Bx42 terminate at Balcom or Davis?

 

Thanks again.

1. Yes, the Bx55 ran across 161st during rush hours to Yankee Staduim during this time.I'm guessing it wasn't shown on subway maps because the then realized that the branch was not part of the 3 Ave Elevated.

2. Both the Bedford Park Blvd Branch and the branch to Fordham and Kingsbridge Roads are listed as full time branches.

3. The Bx1 terminated at it's current terminal at Riverdale Ave and 231st. However, the back side of the map has a list of all of the Rush Hour/ School day trippers. Whenever I can, I will look at the map and check to see if there was a Bx1 tripper to 246st Riverdale.

I will also get the information you requested on the Bx42 service whenever I

find the map again.

Feel free to ask any other questions.

5682 is at West farms, west Farms stickers already on it.

6151 is at KB, on the Bx3 with Gun hill stickers

6099 is at Kingsbridge, I spotted it on the Bx3. Once again, this bus might be another loaner.

:eek::eek:

 

*wants one*

 

Does it mention any details about the Bx1 via Bedford Park? That branch was eliminated in 1997 according to the mta website. (web archive)

I'm sorry I took so long to respond, i was looking for the map.

According to the map, the Bx1 ran buses off the Concourse down Bedford Park Blvd to Paul ave. It then ran down Paul ave to Moshulu Pkwy and goes back to it's current route. There is no information on the back of the map on frequency or amount of Bx1 buses that ran down Bedford Pk Blvd since some buses also ran the regular route down Grand Concourse with the Bx2.

Btw, the map was updated as of May 1991

6095 is at KB, it might be another loaner, it was on service on the Bx3 with fresh west farms stickers.

Does anyone own any Bronx bus maps from the '70s to the '00s?

I have a Bx bus map from 1991 or 1994, i can't remember the exact year right now. It includes the old Bx24.

I guess the liked the trail they were doing on 7691 cause 7746 also has what 7691. I forgot what it was called. I saw the bus about two weeks ago inside the depot and on the Bx36 last Saturday. It's nice to see another O7 CNG that does not make much noise

So 6707 is a Manhattanville bus, with a Quill sticker on the driver side, and an Amsterdam sticker on the door side. And the Amsterdam sticker was only put there this week... Random observation of the day.

I saw the Quill sticker when that bus was on the M3 about 2 weeks ago but i only saw the left side of the bus.

I was rudely awaken last week at 4AM to a loud sound of an Orion 7 CNG and couldn't go back to sleep.
