MTA Bus v. NYC Transit

[NewFlyer 230]

This is big. Do You Think the TA is treating the MTA bus company different from NYCT buses.

MTA buses on have bus on the side and back

If they are under the same company need the (MTA)New York City Bus right

MTA buses Q25/ Q34 when terminating on Main Street station they have "Roosevelt AV" instead Of Flushing Main STA like Q17/27

3. MTA buses don't have School Trips like NYCT buses

4. On the Bus Schedule they don't have all the detail like Lirr and bus tranfers.

5. Two other thing NYCT buses don't have a different color line for LTD buses.

and they are different colors.

 

What do you think or not

What do you think or not

 

1.) They are both subsidiaries of the MTA, and they operate as two separate entities.

2.) That's just how the signs were programed, which dates back to PBL days.

3.) True.

4.) Most, and all of the new ones do.

5.) I'm not following you on that one. LTD and local routes of the same number, have the same color.

Also MTA bus does not do shuttle

Are you talking about subway and LIRR? They do those sometime don't they?. Although the only time I have known for them to do it was during the LIRR mess. Maybe that was the only time. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[FamousNYLover]

On PDF Schedule, Bus Co does not show connecting buses, but (NYCT) and LI bus schedule shows connecting buses.

Yeah, thats kind of weird. All I have ever seen was subways now that I think about it.

It would be so much easier if Far Rock and JFK could've handled the bulk of the shuttle service on the Rockaways than to bring buses from as far as maybe Manhattan or even the Bronx.

True. Yet you gotta admit it was a beautiful site! And the LFSA really set it off!

[FamousNYLover]

I agree with E. New York. I told one of Bus Co from JFK during Queens Village Shuttle Bus when I had Weekend CityTicket.

[Grand Concourse]

Yeah those LFSA are great looking buses. I would so love to ride it some day.

[DevilBus65]

MTA Bus does do school trips. We have school closed and school open schedules.

[R44 CNG]

5. Two other thing NYCT buses don't have a different color line for LTD buses.

and they are different colors.

 

You mean like NYCT Bus have Green Scrolling Sign and MTA Bus have orange

 

Orion VII hybrids for ex: Q113 orange, Q43 green

[FamousNYLover]

Q58 LTD is orange on some hybrid buses.

Even B82 LTD.

[NX Express]

That just depends on the physical bus itself, not the route.

[Kriston Lewis]

On PDF Schedule, Bus Co does not show connecting buses, but (NYCT) and LI bus schedule shows connecting buses.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's noticed this. There's no good reason that connecting bus routes aren't shown on route maps. Neither for why there aren't maps aboard buses. What makes this even more astounding is that buses transferred from NYCT usually have the maps taken out, even if they're for the correct division.

 

Also MTA bus does not do shuttle

 

Supposedly according to the other board, they're doing the shuttle in a couple of hours.

[FamousNYLover]

Eastchester Depot should help Gun Hill and West Farms Depot with Bus or Orchard Beach Concert Shuttle Bus.

Its true. I'm on 3509 now from Baisley Pk. The only other buses they have out here (as of this moment) is 115 (LGA), 3641 (LGA), 8921 (LGA) and 3509 (Baisley)

I'm 99.9999999 percent sure that only NYCT runs shuttle unless there emergency shuttles and I still believe that only in a really bad situation.

I guess Bus is doing the G.O since there's a whole bunch of other bustitutions out this weekend

[FamousNYLover]

Tonight, after took Ikea Ferry and Bus to Downtown Brooklyn to to Bedford-Nostrand Av, I caught LIB #1552 on . B/O who recognized me from rally said, "10 of us doing shuttle bus here, even coach! I show you picture later.

[Lennyj17]

MTA BUS also doesnt get Front End Ad's like NYCT and LIB.....Dont know why this is, since MTA needs all the revenue it can get.

[FamousNYLover]

LIB CNG has Digital Announcement Display except Bus and (NYCT excluding M34/M16)

Actually, for #2 I think the has changed the programming on the busses. I've taken the Q25/34 every month or so for about a decade and the signage is different from the old Queens Surface one. For example, they never said via Kissena/Parsons before the takeover. And if they have changed it, they should be capable of changing it again.

I remember when 8921 was at ENY. That bus can take off like a rocket.

[GreatOne2k]

MTA Bus is 100 percent reimbursed by NYC (since they originally wanted the MTA to take over these routes, MTA managed to get the City to agree to pay for all of the costs with no limit)

 

NYCT doesn't get as much subsidies if at all (funding has been reduced over the years).
