  1. I have a friend who lives in Bay Ridge near the B63 saying that the B1 should go back to Bay Ridge-Shore Road. He told me that he can take that route to Brighton Beach without a transfer!

     

    But I found out that more people ride the B1 to Bay Ridge-4th Avenue than Shore Road! One time I've rode the Xcelsior #4840, lot of people get off at 5th Av and the last stop, 4th Av! Believe me, that bus was packed!

     

    In my opinion, I don't really know if the service should be changed on the B1 and B64! I don't live near both of those routes, but I just take the B8 to 86th St for the B1 or Bath Av for the B64!

  2. B36 is a busy route, but it's not right to be limited because of the shortness of this route!

     

    What NX Express said, why in the world would you want the limited to skip the Sheepshead Bay Station? Bus stops near the stations are busy, so that's a really bad idea!

     

    So no B36 routes can be limited!

  3. Sharing my future:

     

    When I grow up, I want to work on the (MTA) New York City Bus at the Jackie Gleason or Ulmer Park Depots.

     

    If I'd choose Jackie Gleason, I would choose a bus route where it travels through Chinatown with lots of Asian people. That route will be the B70, because the B70 does not run very frequently. Boy, do I have to wait for the B70 for so long. Once that happened to be and I waited for 30 minutes for it! There was only a single bus appeared, not a double-bus. I'm Chinese, and I can communicate with Chinese people who do not know how to speak English. Even though the B70 is not my favorite route, I want to drive it for some point. There are a lot of pedestrians there, so I will try by best to drive safe.

     

    If I'd choose Ulmer Park, I would choose a bus route that usually doesn't get crowded that travels along Bath Av, 13th Av, and Bay Ridge Av. That route will be the B64. If the bus gets overpopulated, then problems start like people shoving each other because they're squished. I want to drive the B1 too, but I dislike the traffic between 25th Av and New Utrecht Av. Once, I was in my car, and one car does not want to move. I waited for 5 minutes for the car to move. Cars behind be are shouting like crazy. The B64 does not have a lot of buses, so I really wanted to make the route better!

  4. In overall, I've rode the Orion VII 3G EPA 10 six times (6x) on the B64 while going home from the Bay Ridge Library. I spotted 3Gs EVERYWHERE!! Man, it was all over the place!

     

    I've heard a quiet whistle on the C40LF #934 while riding the B4. The bus stopped for so long at 5th Av and Bay Ridge Pkwy for operator change! It took like 5 minutes for the another bus driver to come, wasn't so bad! I guess Detriot Diesel Series 50G engine makes different noises!

     

    Last Friday while riding the 3G, the operator jerks the bus a lot! It was actually kind of fun! I feel like riding a roller coaster!

  5. We are having another new Luminator sign! You'll see for yourself, but request are not ready to be made yet!

    Hope ya'll like it! :tup:

     

    EDIT: I will be making changes today!

     

    - I will NOT make flipdot signs anymore! I don't have the scroll effects! Ask other sign makers like IRT Bronx Express and RTS CNG Command for a flipdot sign!

    - My fantasy Luminator Voltliner and Voltex needs improvements. This time the Voltex and Voltliner will be easy to be read, neat, and big.

    - There are delays on Luminator Horizon requests because no one seems to do any of them and this thread is not very active anymore so does any other artistic threads.

    - Luminator Vertex is CANCELLED for the rest of the day, so don't bother requesting for one!

    - I will possibly handle all Titans requests! If IRT or any other members wants to do it, they can do it before I can.
