Nice shot lupojohn! Dyckman has gotten much better after the renovation.

Found this picture on a news article... looks a lot like Bedford/Nostrand , but I can't be so sure. Would anyone know where this picture was taken?

So now it begins....

Is it possible to make a scrolling sign like this:

If so, could I have a Q38 route sign reading:

"Q38 REGO PARK

         108 ST - 62 DR"

"Q38 VIA ELLIOT AV

         VIA PENELOPE AV"

that scrolls every 3 seconds? (I knoe this sounds like a lot...)

I saw two RTS on the Q30 at night. One at around 12:30am and another at around 1am. Do RTSs from Jamaica depot run during the overnight hours?

Probably; they're the most abundant fleet there. (unless either the Orion 7 1Gs or 2Gs are more abundant)

R32s on the ? sweet!

No they're probably going to use those R42s outside their rush hour-only schedule.

EDIT: Where is that thread located? I can't seem to find it.

They're not threads; they're just sections where you can post photos.

I have some bus photos that i've taken along my travels, but it's not really related to a specific topic in the Bus Photos section. Should I start my own thread or should I post them here?

There is the "Regional Transit Photos" thread, or if not even transit-related, you can use the "Off Topic Photography" thread.

Wonder what'll happen to those Orion 5 CNGs after the train goes back to the Rockaways (I know they're likely to retire but god knows what the MTA will do)...

Just out of curiosity, why did the have its northern terminal changed from 168th Street to 145th Street?

Guessing either cuz of passenger demands (like the / on Brighton/West End) or for uniformity on the map.

1020 now at JFK.

The complexities continue on I see...

Any further word as to when the R-188s will arrive to corona?

Not yet, except that it's pushed back to June or July

Not sure if this was mentioned before, but I found this on the MTA site: http://web.mta.info/nyct/service/FloodMitigationWorkBeginsat7DowntownStations.htm

Sounds like nice work; what's left is to do this work before August-October if possible (the time where a storm is most likely to hit NYC)

Why the long wait? Those trains look tested enough.

Because safety.

The via the 2nd Ave line: 

 

 

Well, I guess they are keeping the to Astoria then....

Are the all ex bee-line Orion Vs are gone or couple of em still exist because I use to see them faithfully on the Q101 and Q18

They are still out there... but only a few are left (at least on the LGA routes).

1833 is still white with LIB colors. Just saw it on the N20!

I heard from you that there was a particular reason for keeping the original livery... would you now happen to know why?

Would the repainted RTS-06s be the ones that went through the rebuild program?

I've always been wondering why EL tracks are replaced so frequently... if anyone knows why this happens so much, answers would be appreciated.

One word: TIMERS

Actually more like "safety" lol.

Correction: Coach USA/Community Transportation (based in Paramus, NJ) now has 6 more NABI Transits; #6322-6327 are all operated by Community Transportation/Coach USA although they are marked NJ Transit.

All of the transit buses of Community are marked with NJT logos if I remember.

So from what I hear this summer the will be split into two sections, between Forest Hills and Whitehall St, and Jay Street to 95 Street. There is a rumor going on that the southern portion MIGHT use CI equipment, though remember that it is a rumor.

Wonder if this splitting is for finishing the repairs in the Montague tunnels due to Sandy.

The smaller texts look the same, but there is definitely a change in the route sign font and larger text.

Saw 2542 & 2552 working on the 24 line for the past week. also as for 1514 I always see that bus when I'm in elizabeth. they use it mostly on the 52 or 26.

Wow... so Community Coach transferred their fleet to Olympia I see.

Word has it that 8000, 8018 and 8051 have had their signs changed to Luminator Titans, any confirmation on that?

It probably is. Someone on subchat reported 8051 with a Titan sign.
