Lil 57 Posted March 4, 2019 Share #26226 Posted March 4, 2019 I wonder, who is actually going to use OMNY until 2023 when the MetroCard is fully phased out? OMNY would only be available on one bus route and a few train stations. Youll basically needs your MetroCard to transfer and the SIM33 is going to have buses show up w/o OMNY installed on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMNY is going to be installed in phases just like the MetroCard was in the 90's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long did it take for the metrocard to be implemented city wide? Also do we know if Beeline and other transit agencies will be phasing in OMNY? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In May OMNY will be on all SI routes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted March 4, 2019 Share #26230 Posted March 4, 2019 When there's a day that the snowstrorm would be a problem, are all the bus routes running reduced weekday service or weekend service to this case? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, its was from 2010 but still, I had no idea that a bus from the 1930s was still operational as recently as 2010. I thought it was a static display that had to be towed everywhere. Here's the video BTW: Last time i saw one of their DDs running under its own power was back in 2016. It was heading south down the 2nd ave bus lane at 60th very very slowly.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted March 4, 2019 Share #26232 Posted March 4, 2019 It's the middle of the AM Rush and the both the B44 AND B46 SBS is mostly SBS wrapped XD40s. FLA SBS 40FT fleet must have an high spare factor to have all these extra buses on the 44 SBS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The snowstorm has made SI give alot of their LFS buses to Manhattan. This will make a shortage of buses for tommorow which would ultimately lead to the cancelling LTD service. 22 hours ago, trife86 said: LTD gets cancelled in bad weather anyway Most LTD’s ran this morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can say it was running if you want, but it was making all local stops hence it's running as a regular 44 Even says it on the MTA website if you want to look " All borough limited buses are making local stops in both directions because of inclement weather.

He said it was quick, maybe people were stepping aside at local stops, thinking that it wasn't going to stop and people on the bus only pulled the coard at LTD stops, thinking that it was a true LTD. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence St Posted March 5, 2019 Share #26245 Posted March 5, 2019 How come theres no layover point for M60 SBS drivers at LGA? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAlam Posted March 6, 2019 Share #26246 Posted March 6, 2019 14 minutes ago, Lawrence St said: How come theres no layover point for M60 SBS drivers at LGA? Because there isn’t an effective location for the buses to layover at LGA. A bus would have to go to every terminal to drop people off and then go back and go to every terminal again to pick people up. That would take too much time especially with LGA traffic. Additionally if they did have a layover point midway through the airport everyone would board at the earlier terminal to only be kicked off at the next stop for who know how long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's slowly been like this for almost a year or so. Most Q22's now go to 116 due to service changes likely to save money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you find that buses are arriving more promptly? Are they still coming in bunches of... 22?

GojiMet86 Posted March 6, 2019 Share #26250 Posted March 6, 2019 Has anyone had any problems with MTA Tracker for Android today? I keep trying to select the routes or invididual buses, but it always stays on the "requesting vehicles" bar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
