4P3607 Posted April 2, 2011 Share #26 Posted April 2, 2011 So how are the Bees doing? A while back I heard they were crapping out. and btw, the "new" paint scheme isn't new at all, if you look at the Ex Bee Orion V's, some of them have the new scheme but were painted a while back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted April 2, 2011 Share #27 Posted April 2, 2011 Today while I was waiting for the X28B I saw a deadheading YUK MCI with graffiti on the windows, a effin express bus has vandalized windows?!?!

Mysterious2train Posted April 2, 2011 Share #28 Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) On the newer buses (i.e. the Orion VIIs and the Novabus LFSAs) there are announcements when the doors open and close. I know when the doors close the announcement is "Doors Closing", but for whatever reason I can't really make out the announcement when the doors are opening. Does anyone know what it is?

Grand Concourse Posted April 2, 2011 Share #31 Posted April 2, 2011 arent LGA's RTS more than 20 years old already? thats what one of the drivers there said.and now LGA is getting more of them . btw I spotted 8009 at LGA, I dunno if thats a new arrival or not. Also all the buses now have the new "plane" signage for the Q72. Only the Ex-Bee's don't have them. Because LGA sucks, they don't take care of their own buses and deserves only the old buses till they can get their act together. Plus they have some NGs. Other depots deserves the newer buses like Ulmer Park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest Glen Posted April 3, 2011 Share #33 Posted April 3, 2011 I just got off the Q85 bus. As I was boarding at Jamaica Center, this fool tried to skip me on line. He didn't try that with the guy in front of me. I held my arm out and said, "Excuse me." He mumbled some sh*t but did nothing. Of course this wouldn't have happened on an EXPRESS BUS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R42 M Train Posted April 3, 2011 Share #36 Posted April 3, 2011 I just got off the Q85 bus. As I was boarding at Jamaica Center, this fool tried to skip me on line.

I don't get why people form lines at buses and get mad when someone "skips" them on the "line". I mean, you all gonna get on the bus so does it really matter? I ignore the lines even though people will get mad at me and curse but most of them wouldn't DARE go up 2 steps to the back on LF buses because it would force them to use "energy". I usually go to the back to be part of the solution and not the problem. Do you really have to bring up the Express Bus? You know what thats gonna start... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted April 3, 2011 Share #37 Posted April 3, 2011 For the lines, if the bus is already crowded [meaning limited space], I think it does matter. ex: I'm waiting like 20min already and some a-hole that just got off the train a minute ago thinks they are going to skip me and make me wait another 20min for the next one? Hell no! Now if it was the first stop, then people need to chill the f*ck out about it. Exactly, I thought we were over this already? We get it he loves them, we don't need to read about it again for the 1000th time. We don't need another express vs local bus bs war. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted April 3, 2011 Share #39 Posted April 3, 2011 Life ain't perfect, there will always be a-holes out there. Hell, I do wish harm comes to people that disrespects me [like cars that speeds past a red light at high speeds, pedestrians that crosses on don't walk signs, etc.]. All you can hope for is in the grand scheme of things/karma, that they will get their 'just rewards'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Pond Posted April 8, 2011 Share #50 Posted April 8, 2011 One less 34st crosstown bus with a GPS on it. One broke down at the terminal at Waterside (I was walking over the overpass to work earlier at that time) and there was a Bus Mainainence truck parked behind it. About 90 minutes after that, I went downstairs on my break and I saw the RTS rolling by under the overhang 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
