They originally came with tape. One of the other guys here bought up the tape > cord conversions a while back

LOL.... You're like obsessed with those friggin' cords... You can thank the idiots that break them for them having to be taken out.

So there's this driver on the 13 who doesn't like me taking pics of his bus, right? Well, I saw him driving the 100, so i'm really excited because I can finally take pics of the 13 at night, so guess who his replacement is? The ONLY driver in Albany Division who thinks it's illegal to take pictures of buses.

Continue to take pics, that's what I say... if they give you trouble just throw the rules at 'em...

But the problem is CDTA has no official documentation saying it's legal. I already explained to the B/O that I film in front of numerous supervisors all of which have told me I can film, I went to CDTA directly, and they told me it was fine, and that all drivers in the division think it's legal, but she still said no. (The only division that thinks it's illegal is Troy, but only the drivers who were drivers near 9/11)

Why he'll walk back across the Bayonne Bridge, of course! ;) (Not that I would recommend it, from personal experience, but anyway)

The other option would be the walk of shame off the bus. :D

No, that's not suppose to be there, but bus drivers put it there. Just like they use to cut the wires on the touch tape on the rear doors of the Orion V's.

Are those the same sensors that make that announcement "Please Step Away From the Doors"? If so, that's probably why. It's annoying as hell for both the B/O and passengers to listen to that. If it's something that keeps the door open once the tape is pushed and the passenger is getting off so it doesn't slam in their face, then the B/O probably likes to keep things moving. It's annoying when the back door takes its time to close when nobody's there. The doors aren't that heavy where it's that hard to just hold them open yourself.

 

If the B/O wants to put duct take up and risk getting in trouble, it's their problem.
