mkraga Posted January 31, 2011 Share #1 Posted January 31, 2011 i am new to the forum. does anyone know how buses are assigned to drivers? for instance, do they ever use the coach type buses that are usually used on interborough routes for local routes? particularly in brooklyn.

Novabus 5000 Posted January 31, 2011 Share #2 Posted January 31, 2011 First off, welcome. Second off, there is not chance that a coach bus will run on a route like the Q56 or BX4. No chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenEleven Posted January 31, 2011 Share #3 Posted January 31, 2011 Hey & Welcome. The express coach buses are strictly limited to the express buss routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted January 31, 2011 Share #4 Posted January 31, 2011 Welcome! I read once that an MCI ran on the B41 on 9/11, it normally doesn't happen, It did that day cause they was running buses where they was needed. I personally didn't see it but someone on another forum saw and rode on it. But under normal situations, I agree with the two posters above.

NX Express Posted January 31, 2011 Share #5 Posted January 31, 2011 It only happens when there is an extreme, desperate, unusual bus shortage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4P3607 Posted January 31, 2011 Share #7 Posted January 31, 2011 Hello, (Mx)k®aga! Welcome aboard to NYCTF! I have seen CNG-05's (those ones in the 9800's/9900's) on the QM10. I also saw a bus #ered "7412" or "7214" (it had a very flat front, rollsign, & looked like an older model (I think its called an MCI classic :confused:) on the QM10 about 4 years ago. Though Ive never seen an express bus used for a local route Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted January 31, 2011 Share #8 Posted January 31, 2011 Hello and welcome to NYCTF! No, it's highly unlikely that you will EVER see an OTR coach on a local route. As far as I know, it's only happened once, and that was on 9/11 as trainfan22 stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousNYLover Posted January 31, 2011 Share #9 Posted January 31, 2011 Welcome aboard. MTA Long Island Bus used MCI Coach Bus during Shuttle Bus where they had shuttle buses everywhere like McDonald's song. Bee-Line W43 Super Express (Local Fare) used MCI Coach Bus.

SoSpectacular Posted January 31, 2011 Share #10 Posted January 31, 2011 Welcome to forums! And as everyone said, you'll never see an MCI coach on a local route unless it's a REAL emergency! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
