danielhg121 Posted April 18, 2017 Share #20403 Posted April 18, 2017 556 on the Q50. Considering all the buses they have it's more than enough to cover service. Why borrow from CP?

RTSTdrive Posted April 18, 2017 Share #20405 Posted April 18, 2017 Does anyone know what happened to 572? Is it in the process of getting a repaint or did something else happen? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Situation like that happened to those buses must be broken and taken for repair, I think.

Sent from my SM-N9208 using Tapatalk I mean you're not exactly wrong on your guess. I asked since this particular unit is the only C40LF with experimental interior LCD screens so it could've been taken out of service to address kinks that could be related to the screens (a la electrical issues like the Clever Devices LCD screens on the Orion 7 NG HEVs) or it simply could've been out for repainting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BM5 via Woodhaven Posted April 19, 2017 Share #20414 Posted April 19, 2017 Does anyone remember the Orion V CNG buses that run on the express routes and local routes with the soft seats? Either 9996 or 9998 had those soft seats, but I'm not entirely sure which one. The rest, I don't remember (I remember riding them on the Q38 5-6 years ago though). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soft seats? Please... Maybe they looked soft, but those seats were like sitting on bricks, and the ones in the rows had so little leg room. I was so glad when they retired them and had MCIs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaTransitMan4608 Posted April 19, 2017 Share #20418 Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Is TU bringing the XD60s out anytime soon?

trainfan22 Posted April 19, 2017 Share #20419 Posted April 19, 2017 Does anyone remember the Orion V CNG buses that run on the express routes and local routes with the soft seats? Yep, I had my first express bus ride ever on a CNG, on one of the BM's that go down Ocean Ave, rode those CNG's on SC express routes several times, those buses were lots of fun I'll never forgot riding one on the BM5 where the bus was late due to an power outage in Midtown and the driver was flooring it and the bus were red lining on the LIE, we had to be going at least 65-70. Remember one where a CAS MCI and the SC CNG went in the Battery Tunnel at the same time and we left that CAS MCI in the dust Rode those soft seat CNG's on Both the B100 and B103 as well. I miss the backfire sounds the most.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss the backfire sounds the most.. Those were the good ole days. Some of those buses didn't have governors which made it an faster ride into the city. I could remember riding 444, 446, 478 and 424 all out of command, now Spring Creek on the BM1 and BM2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My post on Twitter: https://t.co/DrrjJYqZ1v I find it amusing that the Mayor is only now focusing on Richmond County residents. It's actually pretty common to see something like this on any of the older buses given that the depots slap the current fare stickers on top of the old ones. This isn't a sign of neglect like you say it is as the sticker could of just fallen off from the bus at some point just like a depot sticker. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
