Either a crane to put it back on the bridge, or they’ll put a support on the front half, cut the articulation part, and tow the halves separately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamen Rider Posted January 15, 2021 Share #33132 Posted January 15, 2021 I can only imagine the state of the articulation framework... I’d have to hazard a guess she’s getting cut in two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4729 XD60 Posted January 15, 2021 Share #33133 Posted January 15, 2021 Hopefully the Operator is ok and the passengers. Thankfully the CNG tanks didn't explode 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melbx15 Posted January 15, 2021 Share #33134 Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) They are saying that the operator of the bus either experienced brake failure or didn't properly navigate the turn and veered off the road, leaving the bus dangling from the overpass. the passengers are okay with non life-threatening injuries but the bus driver suffered the most severe injuries and is in serious condition.

Lawrence St Posted January 15, 2021 Share #33136 Posted January 15, 2021 I know its not anyone here, but it is extremely disgusting that some of these fans are worrying more about the dam bus then the operator who has serious injuries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what's gonna happen. That bus will likely be on a flatbed back to West Farms. 52 minutes ago, Lawrence St said: I know its not anyone here, but it is extremely disgusting that some of these fans are worrying more about the dam bus then the operator who has serious injuries. Which is exactly why we don't give those people any attention. 1020 was on the Bx35 when that happened. There's speculation that the bus experienced brake failure, which may have caused this.

Lawrence St Posted January 15, 2021 Share #33139 Posted January 15, 2021 Update to the accident: Data shows that the bus operator took the turn between 17 to 26 MPH instead of 3 to 4 MPH. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2021/01/15/nyregion/mta-bus-falls-overpass.amp.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted January 15, 2021 Share #33140 Posted January 15, 2021 4271 now has LED headlights...and still wears the old paint scheme. That's a combo I didn't expect to see. 4562 was the only bus to have that combo before. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the love of God, please pull your damn bus to the curb! Unreal what is going on. Stop after stop, drivers picking up passengers in the street, often times from the bus lane, leaving the entire right side WIDE OPEN, allowing e-bikes to come from behind the bus as the driver is picking up passengers. A number of passengers have been complaining about almost being hit as a result. Passengers CANNOT see the bikes coming from the behind the bus, especially if they are going at high speed, and vice versa. I'm speaking with the about this because they need to make some changes. Twice this week, I was almost hit with another passenger. Just reckless to drive in service like that, making every stop from the street when the curb is completely open. This. A thousand times this. I've nearly been nailed by them too, as well as the bus stop blocking cars that take off when we're getting off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the increase in bus lanes, this is something that will only worsen, as bus drivers think picking up from the bus lane with almost two lanes open on the right is totally fine. It's unreal. Some of these drivers are not new either. Doesn't matter who it is. I have seen older women dropped off from the bus lane along Lexington Avenue, with e-bikes flying by as they are trying to get off. Just nuts... If the curb wasn't open I could understand, but the curb is totally clear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, LGA link schemed buses show up on the Q53 once in a while. It's happen multiple times since April, and it used to happen almost every night during the summer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyer 230 Posted January 19, 2021 Share #33147 Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) I noticed that the MTA changed up the format of its schedule on their website. It kind of reminds me of the non pdf schedules NICE has on their website. I honestly like the old format better but I guess it was time for some change.

Looks like something they copied and pasted from Excel. Definitely don't want that for the express bus schedules. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does have a cheap look to it, but as someone with pretty poor vision without glasses, I like how it's spaced out it is. It makes things easier to see without my glasses. The text is also a little bigger as well. The original timetables to me were very cramped and narrow. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
