mark1447 Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share #26 Posted January 23, 2010 The MCI suck Nono i corrected it for you! :cool: Better?! No need to explain! If you dont want people complaining about you, then why do you start pointing negatives about other buses. You know you hate every thing except MCIs, and dont tell me you like Orions, you only like Orions when an express bus route pops out.. All Fleets ROCKS! Even the Hybrids and MCI! Even tho i prefer the Rapid Transit Series more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted January 23, 2010 Share #27 Posted January 23, 2010 RTSs are the greatest. They'll outlast most O5s. And I don't hate the MCIs even though I think SOME express bus routes are a waste. A bus is a bus, whatever shows up first, I'll take it. Same goes for the subways.

Grand Concourse Posted January 23, 2010 Share #29 Posted January 23, 2010 Well I would still take the subway over an express bus as I'll end up at my destination around the same time if not faster by subway. I've been riding the subway for years, I'm used to the crowding. I'm not paying extra for a luxury service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoSpectacular Posted January 23, 2010 Share #30 Posted January 23, 2010 If only things didn't go down like that between New Flyer and the MTA... Those C40LFs are the bomb! Best low floors we got in the city, imo. They ride like a high floor, it blows my mind every time I ride one! Those things BOUNCE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, too bad the same can't be said for the foamers who call themselves a commuter, yet they avoid a line just because of equipment it uses. That makes me laugh!!!!!! If I see an Orion 7 NG on the S79, I'm getting on it. If it's an Orion 5 on the S79, I'll definitely get on it! As long as I need to get where I need to go in one piece, be it on an R160, an R44, an R46 or an R32, I'm getting on. This discrimination over lines because of the subway cars it uses is retarded.

Grand Concourse Posted January 23, 2010 Share #32 Posted January 23, 2010 Yup, if they were unsafe in the first place, they would not be running.

They ride like a high floor, it blows my mind every time I ride one! Those things BOUNCE!!! I like the way the C40s runs, noisy, but pretty solid overall.

However, on my trip home I'd always take the . The R46 is more comfortable than the R32 and it has more seats (meaning I can sleep on the train).

Grand Concourse Posted January 23, 2010 Share #37 Posted January 23, 2010 He's sadly a lost cause.

Bx41 Wakefield Posted January 23, 2010 Share #38 Posted January 23, 2010 NABI wants no part of the MTA, they dont wanna risk their business with them.

Queens Surface Posted January 23, 2010 Share #39 Posted January 23, 2010 incorrect Nope Correct, Some Express bus routes have no point and don't carry people. Why would NABI be risking their business dealing with ? Is too demanding in what they want in a bus? Since the wants to spec their buses so much it messes them up. So NABI does not want to be held responsible when the buses fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, it's an obsession for him and it comes at the expense of the average riders to maintain those 'precious services'. I just wonder how much longer those Designlines can handle the daily useage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope Correct, Some Express bus routes have no point and don't carry people. Oh wow, a 3 word response... a step up at least..And if you don't like the bus you are always free to ride the express buses you love so much. Plenty of room there, as in empty seats. And fyi, I've been riding the hybrids for at least 3 years now. There's nothing totally bad about them. You're actually wasting your energy arguing?:confused: Yeah, too bad the same can't be said for the foamers who call themselves a commuter, yet they avoid a line just because of equipment it uses.

An RTS I was on had to restart 3 times for the lift to work. Another time a bus had to be taken out of service because the lift was stuck in the up position.

error46146 Posted January 26, 2010 Share #47 Posted January 26, 2010 Hell yeah, every time I get on an Orion 7 NG on the S79 I'm usually displeased because for the whole ride it feels very bumpy. All you'll hear is rattling and shuddering and crap. Not the same on an Orion 5 though. i swear why cant they just keep making orion 5's? why make an orion 7 to begin with..they coulda just made a hybrid orion 5 if they wanted but NOO..

The R46 is more comfortable than the R32 and it has more seats (meaning I can sleep on the train). I see where you are coming from. Last semester on Saturday mornings I'd get on an R44/46 from my hone station @ Utica to get to the ferry because my priority was getting on the 6:30 a.m. ferry. Coming home would be a different story. I'd take a train uptown, downtown, and all over because of the RFW and simply, I had time to kill. Sir, where is your thank-you button?
