I'm not questioning it entirely. I just wanted to sure he wasn't including overnights as he did say "Full Time" cause that'd be overkill (As he would say I'm afraid). For Middays it would the most likely time of day to see additional LTD service. Last time I've seen that route on a midday nearly 3/4's of the bus seats were taken & this was from Hillside/Springfield. Probably a decent idea perhaps but I'm still on the fence with it. Only my opinion though.

I know I shouldn't waste my time responding but here I go nonetheless...

Once again here, all replies are in bold.

Does anybody know what's holding up New Flyer XD40 #4812 & Orion VII 3G #7001 from being delivered to QV as of yet?

From me: Q5: Limited-Stop Service on weekends (at least saturdays). Times from 11:00am-7:30pm. Q17: Add LTD stop service on saturdays 9:00am-7:00pm Q25: 10-12 minute frequency increase on Saturdays from morning to evenings. Q30: Add LTD Stop service on weekdays. Eastbound buses from 7:00am-9:00am. Southbound buses 2:30pm-5:00pm Q36: Eliminate LTD Stop service. Yes, I still stand by this. Q42: Restore Saturday service. 45-60 minute headways. Q46: Add LTD stop stop service for PM from 3:30pm-6:30pm. Q65: Same as Q25. Q74: Restored for Rush Hours only from 7:00am-9:30am & 3:00pm-6:30am Q84: increased frequency to 8-10 Minutes for Rush Hours.

No, I was talking about QV.

I have a small few ideas here. I haven't rode any Manhattan routes for a while so bear with me. M1: Re-extend to South Ferry. M5: Cut back to City Hall-replaced by M1 for South Ferry service. M42: In the event that the M104 des return to the U.N. route frequenucy here to be cut back to around 7-8 Minutes. M57: Frequency at 7-8 Minutes during AM & PM rush hours. M104: Bring back U.N Terminal. The M42 is ruined during rush hours & needs assistance heading Eastbound. And...Go!

The same can be said for QV right now too. We keep giving the 96XX series RTS to FLA but we have yet to get anything back. Although I miss QV being an RTS dominant depot the new buses are at least helping out very well. I'm kind of surprised that QV's still able to make service with the minor storage we got. On a transferring note Novabus RTS-06 #9566 is not @ JA. I rode it a couple of days ago on the Q46.

NovaBus RTS-06 #8869 @ JA.

Same spot as you. However I do plan to though sometime in the near future. Once I do though don't expect me to be big on it. I simply just plan to start with my home express route the X64. I'll also ride an UP or YUK run route just to know the prevosts.that's it.

And the JA buses to QV swapping saga continues as #5036 passed me on the Q83 earlier. This must mean that anotner OG is expecting an OH.

Yesterday, NovaBus RTS-06 #9187 had the honor of being a CS bus for the day. I happened to ride it on the Q31. then again today deheading behind #9186 it should be back @ JA.

Just a few notes more note then I'm off: -While riding #9556 yesterday, I just happened to notice that it had huge a** numbering stickers. Wonder what's behind the need for the big numbers.:confused: -This morning I had to witness Orion VII #6426...which now has the new scheme as well! -Ne Flyer XD40 #4819 kept repeating it's "please exit throughtherear door" 6x after the stop requested sign lit up (guessin somebody played with the button or leaned against it). I just had to Lol! (Although not outloud) -Orion V #6125 sounds off a ringer like the V CNG counterparts.

I have to agree. The sides of the rear seats are very cramped especially for those who have long legs. Then at times whenever I see crumbled trash in that area or whtever I just avoid it altogether. I mostly sit in the aisle facing rear seats the most for some reason. I even choose those over the single seats to which I get a little more personal space. The only other reason why I don't bother to sit at the front because of the elderly (though I know it's not their fault). I don't always like having to get up for them especially if a lack of gratitude is shown. Only if I'm speaking to the B/O when I need to would I keep myself in the front. As for the single area behind the B/O, I'd hit that the minute it's in the clear. At least I get to be listening to some of the sh*t that I have on my 4G & Ipod.:cool:

*Sighs*. Yes there's still.RTS @ JFK. I wouldn't be surprised if they get more to replace the remandier of the Orion V's there. Speaking of the V's until recently it was them opposed to the RTS'es that I saw the most. Me wonders why they didn't do so already as to having the RTS replacing them Orions (like LGA RTS to the ex-bees.)?:confused: On a different note I happen to have seen Mr. Orion VII #6428 in new uniform otherwise known as the new scheme w/black decals.B) Irony is that I already rode #6429 (the one in.white decaled uniform). Wonder's who's next for the scheme. I just hope it's for another QV hybrid, 'cause I'd love to see more buses rolling around in my neighborhood w/new uniform.

Speaking of the 600's series... Didn't someone say that the 600's were restricted to weekdays only months ago? Well, I don't how true that is as last night have seen a 6XX series Orion V running on the (Q44) LTD line. If this keeps up then I bet there's a slight (but decent) chance to get a 6XX 'V on weekends.

Just as I thought, Orion V CNG #749 still @ CP. Currently seeing the bus from a distance @ Parsons Blvd on the (Q25).

Oy, Again with JA's RTS thrown over to QV routes. I believe I saw their #5164running on the (Q46) earlier this mid-afternoon.

Earlier this evening I believe I saw #9231 on the (Q56). If this is true then I'm afraid CS is once RTS-less. On another note, sorry if this is known already but I saw #5046 on the (Q24) w/FLA stickers.

Another JA RTS working for QV...NovaBus RTS-06 #4925 was ridden by yours truly on the (Q83) LTD minutes ago.

Two RTS moves: -#8804 @ Jamaica w/corresponding stickers & witnessed it NIS & later doing the (Q85). (I Think) -#9235 @ ENY. Seen it on the (Q24) or (Q56)

Saw Orion VII NG #4132/6 on the (Q54) nearly a week ago.
