MTV Operator Posted May 8, 2010 Share #1 Posted May 8, 2010 Amsterdam depot will close on june 27th 2010 .a general pick is to start on may 17th. At amsterdam depot the new prints are posted for the m1.last pick there were 58 runs but it has been cut down to 48 runs. The prints also say the m1 has been moved to mtv (manhattanville). The majority of the runs have weekends off . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATCOman Posted May 8, 2010 Share #2 Posted May 8, 2010 That is because the M1 is only going from Harlem to 106 Street weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1447 Posted May 8, 2010 Share #3 Posted May 8, 2010 Yep already know this Dom told me. M1/M7 to head to MV and M18 is a byebye! We could expect some RTS popping out on the M1/M7. Im so gonna be there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotham Bus Co Posted May 8, 2010 Share #4 Posted May 8, 2010 That is because the M1 is only going from Harlem to 106 Street weekends... ...and only to 8th Street Monday-Friday.

mark1447 Posted May 8, 2010 Share #5 Posted May 8, 2010 ...and only to 8th Street Monday-Friday. (Remember that the South Ferry leg will be covered by the M5.) ......Which is the worst decision ever made by the for the M5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotham Bus Co Posted May 8, 2010 Share #6 Posted May 8, 2010 ......Which is the worst decision ever made by the for the M5. True, true. The M5 will become w-a-a-a-y too long for its own good. As some point, they'll have to either split the M5 into two routes (thus resurrecting the M6 in some form), or maybe swap the M5 and M104 north terminals.

As some point, they'll have to either split the M5 into two routes (thus resurrecting the M6 in some form), or maybe swap the M5 and M104 north terminals. I was thinking the same. That would be a lot better than having the M5 go fro South Ferry all the way to GW Bus Station. Who would ride a route that long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted May 9, 2010 Share #8 Posted May 9, 2010 Well unless the person can't reach a w/c accessable station, the average rider will likely take the subway over the bus. Like the , no one is likely to ride it end to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTrain Posted May 9, 2010 Share #9 Posted May 9, 2010 Isn't Amsterdam Depot replacing Mother Clara Hale Depot for the time being? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted May 9, 2010 Share #10 Posted May 9, 2010 Isn't Amsterdam Depot replacing Mother Clara Hale Depot for the time being? Yes it is, Mother Clara Hale is being renovated so the MTA reopened Amsterdam temporarily while the renovations were taking place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennyj17 Posted May 9, 2010 Share #11 Posted May 9, 2010 Why do you need 2 west side routes to South Ferry...So from South Ferry to CPS the M5 and M6 are the same route....It would've made more sense to send the M2 to SF since its about the same length as the M1 with Limited Stops and you still have 5/Madison covered....UGH MTA sometimes leaves you wondering. Or of you want to be honest the M15 and M6 are enough you have both East and West sides covered at South Ferry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumor has it (AND MORE THAN LIKELY THIS COULD BE A FACT), most of the Hybrids at Amsterdam are being moved to Manhattanville. Making Manhattanville damn near ALL hybrid. Those 7 RTS buses will be moved OR scrapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My terminal swap idea (as mentioned in another thread) is as follows: M5: North terminal at 135th/Amsterdam to serve CCNY. M104: Extend north to G W Bridge. Maybe renumber to reflect the non-historic routing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or of you want to be honest the M15 and M6 are enough you have both East and West sides covered at South Ferry. M20 is extend to replace M9 between BPC & South Ferry via South End Av-Battery Pl-State St, because M9 replaces weeekday City Hall Branch of M15. I wonder if M20 going to take M1 bus stop at far side while M5 takes M6 bus stop at far side of Whitehall St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q43LTD Posted May 11, 2010 Share #16 Posted May 11, 2010 So the MV line-up is gonna look like this: M1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 60, 96, 104, 106 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princelex Posted May 11, 2010 Share #19 Posted May 11, 2010 It's disgusting that they are f*cking with the M1 the way that they are. First, this line is used and the idea that they are messing with this line boggles my mind. I don't know if its been mentioned but while there are 2 west side bus lines going to South Ferrry, there will only be one from the east side with the M15. If anything, the M1 should be extended to S. Ferry 24/7 IMO. The M5 to South Ferry is just insulting to my intelligence. They are making an already long route even longer. Disaster is gonna be all over the M5, you watch. And it's totally stupid and ridiculous to have the M1 end at 106th St on the weekends. I just walked past there this afternoon, there is no way in hell you can properly end a bus there. I hate the I really do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3348 Posted May 11, 2010 Share #20 Posted May 11, 2010 Is there any reason the M96/M106 aren't based out of 100th St. depot instead? Is there not enough space to store those buses AND the express buses during middays? The M96 is literally 4 short blocks from the depot at Park Ave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q43LTD Posted May 12, 2010 Share #21 Posted May 12, 2010 MTV: M1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11 and 60MJQ: M8, 9, 14, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 34, 42, 50, 57, 96, 98, 104, and 106 Routes in red are the routes that supposedly are heading from MTV to MJQ. I'd keep the M104 at Manhattanville, with some SB runs coming from MJQ. The M96/106 can go to 100 St Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK 7212 Posted May 13, 2010 Share #22 Posted May 13, 2010 Sorry but its not happening that way.It would've made sense if they swapped the M66 and M96/106.The 66 would be better off at MJQ and the 96 would be better off at 126.But like its been said, just don't think!

What if you moved the 40 foot buses the M96 needs for service over to 100th St.? The artics can stay on the current routes 100th St. has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
