XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted February 8, 2013 Share #5176 Posted February 8, 2013 Anyone have photos of what the MCH depot looks like right now? Just curious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsbridgeviewer382 Posted February 8, 2013 Share #5177 Posted February 8, 2013 My random thought is why the Orion VII Next Generation buses all of a sudden getting white masks in the front. The only ones I know that just got white masks are #3851 and #4407. I'm not talking about the ones that Jamaica has right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some buses, it's a full repaint, for other it's just a nose job (3851/3852). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz Posted February 8, 2013 Share #5180 Posted February 8, 2013 Anyone have photos of what the MCH depot looks like right now? Just curious. I was actually going to go there today and take pictures, but I don't know if I'm going to get the due to the expected snow... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTA1992 Posted February 8, 2013 Share #5181 Posted February 8, 2013 Is there any particular reason why I just saw an XD40 on 42nd Street via PIX11? Extra service over there later? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted February 8, 2013 Share #5185 Posted February 8, 2013 NYCT Manhattan seems to be firmly in snow mode. Chains on almost every bus, and a lot of 40-footers running on artic routes like the M101/2/3, etc. Actually on a chain-less O7 right now, it's wheelslip galore out here... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No detour washes their buses when it gets too cold...its better to have a dirty bus running than a clean frozen one that can't run at all 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Culver Posted February 8, 2013 Share #5188 Posted February 8, 2013 No detour washes their buses when it gets too cold...its better to have a dirty bus running than a clean frozen one that can't run at all Yukon never washes theirs on the inside at any time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't see what the weather has to do with clean buses on the inside... Maybe they just stop working when they use soap and water to clean the interiors... Imagine that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess when you're short, you're short I was guessing it was a snow thing like I posted earlier, cause TU has been running O7s on the M101/2/3 since 6 in the morning... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culver Posted February 8, 2013 Share #5192 Posted February 8, 2013 Artics not too fond of snow, I presume. Well, next generation of artics a dozen years from now will likely feature electric all-wheel-drive (hub motors), so we only have to wait 12 or so years to not have problems with artics in snow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly aren't, a fact that can be proven by taking a walk down an artic thoroughfare post-snowstorm...there's a jackknifed bus every few blocks. Of course, this is the first major blizzard for the LFSAs, so we'll have to see if they fare any better than the D60s, as they do have a different rotation mechanism (or lack thereof, really). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting for a NG on the M15... FOAM. Good to know the M10x routes are running the 40 footers, I'll try and check them out.

Only TU buses from what I've seen, but have to say they've done a good job getting chains on every artic out there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BreeddekalbL Posted February 9, 2013 Share #5198 Posted February 9, 2013 quick question for the bus drivers before you pull out do they tell you what bus to take or do you pick the bus you want? Depends on the depot, I know at LGA they let you pull out whatever. i also forgot to mention i was snooping around on jerryswebsite.info the lga website cause don't they have a problem where they have to pull like 5 buses out to get the one they want to pull out? and at fresh pond they are lined up like soldiers for pull out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted February 9, 2013 Share #5199 Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) These seem legit! Would you say a C40LF (2012) and XD40 with LBSS mixed? Edited February 9, 2013 by XcelsiorBoii4888 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alejr88 Posted February 9, 2013 Share #5200 Posted February 9, 2013 No detour washes their buses when it gets too cold...its better to have a dirty bus running than a clean frozen one that can't run at all Oh I see..thanks. I think he means cleaning on the inside... I meant both, interior and exterior. I've ridden buses for a while and yeah they're dirty on the inside with trash laying on the floor (especially the Bx12 SBS). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
