Recent effort by Harry to change the size:

Quick little summary of all the former MTA Bus coaches at Charleston: 3069, 3072, 3076, 3084, 3087, 3096, 3109, 3116, 3117, 3136, 3137, 3175, 3186, 3187

If I am understanding this correctly, the 33 initial buses are now part of the 21000 series (21335 - 21367) as opposed to being added on to the 118 option (instead of 22001 - 22151, now it is just 22001 - 22118).

1901-1930 were the 2002-2004 GO Transit units; 1931-1940 were former 2003 NJT units. https://cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php/Academy_Bus_Lines_1901-1930 https://cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php/Academy_Bus_Lines_1931-1940

My understanding is that before COVID, the MTA had been seriously planning on swapping the and the on 63rd/53rd. Maybe it still is. Back when the started, people complained through the roof about the running on 53rd Street. But after a while, ridership on the picked up and the complaints went away. How funny would it be if people complained again.

Turns out some weeks ago, a manhole cover legit lifted a Q66 on Northern Boulevard. Jeez, the force of that cover......

You do know that in Europe, almost all metro systems are deinterlined, right? Just pointing out the real-life aspects.

As long as lines can have reliable, frequent service, like waiting every 3 minutes instead of having 3 minutes followed by long 8 minute gaps I'm good. Yeah, having the expresses only go to 96th Street and having all the locals use the tunnel is good. On a separate note, I wonder if the 63rd Street line could ever be hooked to the local tracks via those abandoned trackways at 57th Street.

What's wrong with wanting to be a transit planner? Why the hate? It doesn't even have to be implented fully. Some places yes, some places no. In real life, there are clearly some instances where it sucks to interline. Even before the TA started going nose-diving to the bottom in 2018, it was already a PITA waiting for the N and W. It's a problem when my parents, who know nothing trains, used to notice that they had to wait for two trains to pass before an Astoria train would show up. It is a big problem going back decades that one little problem at the DeKalb and Nostrand junctions screws up everything. Even the bus people know that bus interlining runs can screw with a bus line's frequencies. Just as people want to interline for the sake of de-interlining everything, there are also people who hate the "fad" for the sake of hating the fad.

Best point of reference is the CPTDB wiki page. It's not official, as it is compiled by other busfans, but I would look at the Paratransit roster. https://cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php/Central_New_York_Regional_Transportation_Authority 2950-2962 are 2009 IC Bus 3200/ElDorado National Aero Lite 1020-1031 are 2010 IC Bus 3200/ElDorado National Aero Lite 1115-1118 are 2011 IC Bus 3200/ElDorado National Aero Lite

Has anyone ever come across this map before? https://hudsontma.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/HTMA_Map2018_R2_Revised.pdf This map of Hudson County has maps from the NJT timetables and has its own custom transit map.

Someone posted a FB video of it being moved. I don't know how likely it is for being used for any excursions.

Why does it matter if the bus garage came before? Does it have some indisputable right to exist? Last time I checked, health is pretty important. It's why we've been moving towards transit that emits less pollution than before.

They've been told many times before by the mods, but they never listen. They'll tell each other to stop it, but it never does. So start bringing those conversations here, and not there.

Read the description of the thread above: "This TOPIC is strictly for bus deliveries, moves & transfers. Any discussion related to these moves should be done in the MTA Bus Operations: Fleets and Depots and Bus - Random Thoughts threads."

A bus can have the same number of seats but the height, the thickness, and the angle of the seat could all be different. I can't find any dimensions/measurements for the seats and distance between them at the moment.

I don't know if it's old, because the same person just posted photos of 3096 and a couple of other former MTA Bus coaches with Charleston stickers. He writes they've been transferred because they are short on buses and for a future SIM23/24 takeover.

They put up apartments in that stretch, so it would very hard, unless an alignment and station underground under a different street is chosen.

There used to be, but now these two are the exact same route. It's almost like they kept one extra route to say they didn't cut a route or something.

I was about to say why is he posting about a NICE bus in this thread, but Zerega changes everything.
