Via Garibaldi 8 Posted February 4, 2011 Share #2 Posted February 4, 2011 Quick question, does anybody know exactly how many runs the following lines have: Bx12 local, Bx12 select, M15 local, M15 select, B6, B41, B44, B46. Thanks! Unless there are some unofficial runs, you should be able to get that info on the MTA website. Just go to mta.info and look at the schedules on those runs.

'89 Liberty MCI Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted February 4, 2011 I meant from the run number system (1 on the B46, 2 on the B46, 3 on the B46, etc.). This type of information isn't easily available unless you're around these lines late to observe what the highest run number on the line is.

FlushingFlash Posted February 4, 2011 Share #5 Posted February 4, 2011 View the Bus schedule it ill tell u how many runs the bus does. Just count from when service begins and where it ends. Obviously you have no idea what your talking about! Same bus does more then 1 trip and you cannot fig that out but counting the scheduled trips online.

Amtrak7 Posted February 4, 2011 Share #7 Posted February 4, 2011 While we're on the topic of runs, is there a formula for the LIB run numbers? I hear them on the radio often. Example: 1508. Does this mean the driver runs the N15 then the N8, or does this mean the 8th trip on the N15, or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'89 Liberty MCI Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share #8 Posted February 4, 2011 Run number 8 on the N15 most likely, if their system has the route number followed by the run number like MTA Bus. If there is one assignment involving two lines, there have to be multiple assignments like that involving those same two lines and therefore 1508 wouldn't mean you do the N15 and the N8 because it would mean you're the only operator that does that type of work. That usually doesn't happen. There must be multiple occurrences of this combined route business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATCOman Posted February 5, 2011 Share #9 Posted February 5, 2011 The run # on the bus is the number on the lower right side of the windshield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I know 74 on the 41 leaves the depot around 3ish? So there are only 12 more 41 runs before midnight? I assume when I see run #like 105 at 2am on the Veterns b41, that driver has spent most of his day on the B46... right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'89 Liberty MCI Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share #15 Posted February 5, 2011 Thanks a lot knice. I would like to see the Saturday-Sunday as well. Jacs, I didn't know those three lines in Flatbush were combined like you just said, I find that interesting since each one has its own distinct relief point. I can't see how TA would even THINK about combining three very heavy, very productive north-south lines, each with a relief point shared by no other line. I could understand how they combined the B2 with the B31 since both are much quieter and have a common relief point, but if you miss your swing and have to take 20 minutes, then that means what, get off the B46 at Fillmore, find food someplace, then go wait for your relief on the B41 (assuming you make the relief going towards Downtown) 5 minutes before you're supposed to get back on the bus? Hell, if you gotta make the relief going towards KP or Bergen Beach you're not even able to just get on the same bus that you're going to drive on your second half and just stay there, because you gotta go north from the depot on a separate bus just so you can get your bus and go south. Unless they have you get relieved on the B46 only or pull in from any line and then pull out on any line or make a relief on the B46 only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noflexdont Posted February 6, 2011 Share #16 Posted February 6, 2011 what happen is they make your swing a pull in and pull out.so you are not making a relief. Usually Operater's asks the yard to keep there bus and just deadhead to there next starting point. dispatchers for the most part will take care of there operators when they know you been working hard for them.
