To a certain degree, there shouldn't be any splits or trippers listed on the S.I Express routes because nowadays, all the depots have a piece on some route. Charleston & Yukon does pieces on the x10, Castleton does a piece or two on the x17, etc etc etc.

What are the depot assignments for S.I.'s express routes? Because they have been confusing me for the longest. There are missing routes, misplaced routes, I don't know what's where.

For the most part, the depot assignments are correct...just removed the trippers and splits.

 

 

...and you forgot to add #3558 to JFK.

They could go anytime, if a bus breakdown or has a problem like 9915 then it will go quicker. I've been seeing them a lot on the Q25 and Q34.

I always thought the heat put more stress on the engines especially CNGs

so this colder weather they should be operating better so for them to be crapping out

now isn't a good sign...

Orion's usually crap out in heat... Watch this summer NiceBus lol

Watch how many of those Orion V drop

Ok, I'll get to 3558.

Also, there seems to be more missing routes than just the X22, but I don't know what's what there.

Yesterday NICE N22 bus #1700 which I was riding crapped out on Hillside Ave. a few blocks short of Marcus Ave.  Got on at Roosevelt Field.  Waiting for the light leaving the area (Old Country Road?) the bus started idling rough with bells/sirens/alarms going off.  It stalled twice along the way.  Finally it just died fortunately along the curb.  Fortunately his follower was on time and we all boarded with seats onto Orion V 1669.

Armani, thank you, it's fixed.

 

S78, All the buses are switched except 7088, thank you for that information.

 

7088 is marked off the roster permanently due to an accident that happened in 2012 I believe.

 

Also, the S78 is at Charleston, has a school tripper from Castleton, and was assigned to Yukon on the weekends. That setup is over, since Charleston is now a full-time depot, the roster is fixed to reflect those changes.
