R10 2952 Posted May 2, 2010 Share #102 Posted May 2, 2010 When I think of a route that deperately needs articulated buses, the Bx10 comes to mind. That route with its bunched-up, irregular running of short O7s (with some O5s thrown in) is a f***-up as it is. The Bx10 is a very strained route. It is so bad, that I can't even recall, after two years of using this route, when a bus showed up ON TIME at a bus stop. When one compares the Bx10 schedule with reality, the actual arrival times are either several minutes too early, or several minutes too late. A lot of times, scheduled buses never come. I once waited from 7:15 AM to 7:40 AM for a Bx10 to come; there were supposed to be 3 or 4 Bx10s within that time frame, and yet none came. At about 7:40, a severely overcrowded O7 showed up, and skipped the next couple of stops. The problem? Too many people, too small buses. This route is a nightmare on a regular basis.

MTR Admiralty Posted May 2, 2010 Share #103 Posted May 2, 2010 Agreed. The Bx10 could use some artics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T to Dyre Avenue Posted May 4, 2010 Share #104 Posted May 4, 2010 The Q12, Q13 and Q44 could definitely use artics. For that matter, most of the bus lines that connect to the at Main Street could use artics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaBus 5121 Posted May 4, 2010 Share #105 Posted May 4, 2010 Honestly. No route needs artics until the MTA changes policy. I think its either 3 (60ft) buses for every 4 (40ft) buses or its 5 (40ft) buses for every 4 (60ft) buses. And since the MTA reduces the headways, it'll only make the conditions, the crowding, bunching, delays worse. I like artics, it would be nice to see them on different routes. But unless the headways remain relatively the same, and unless its 3 door artics, I don't want any artics coming to my routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
