Orion6025 Posted March 9, 2019 Share #26276 Posted March 9, 2019 So as mentioned by transitman in the scrapped buses thread, 6536 was scrapped b/c of front end damage... anyone know what hit it/what it hit? It's gotta be the first 2005 Orion scrapped... a shame IMO but it makes sense at least 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You put something in the triboro coach depot 70% chance of being destroyed or damaged or dirty.

Coney Island Av Posted March 9, 2019 Share #26278 Posted March 9, 2019 Looks like we're getting close to the end of an era at WF. The Orion VII CNGs have been leaving fast as of late, and only SEVEN of them are left (145, 7792, 7815-7819). That's about the same amount of D60s at GH, which is also severely low. It seems as if the O7 CNGs will finally meet their end by the end of this month given that the tanks are beyond expiring and in poor condition. I will miss these buses, so catch them while we can! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted March 9, 2019 Share #26279 Posted March 9, 2019 With the rate that RTS's are leaving ENY it seems like the last depot to operate RTS will come down to FLA, UP or JA. Please let it be FLA or UP haha. As for the D60HF, the WF units are the easiest to find for me, I seen one on the BX15 this past Saturday, was gonna ride it but it had snow chains so I passed. Hate riding buses with snow chains. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now ENY may be the next depot to lose all its RTS. Flatbush and Ulmer may be the last since they haven't lost any RTS whatsoever in a long time and the XD40s aren't being diverted to those two depots. The RTS are basically my favorite buses; nothing will ever come close to beating them in my opinion. The D60HFs I also like, but they have also been dropping fast as of late. I like the green-signed ones better because they're more nostalgic than the orange ones. I've fanned them a lot as of late, and I've caught them on plenty of routes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulmer Park or East New York is next after Jamaica for the XD40 order. So as of right now it appears that Flatbush will more than likely retain its RTS until it receives XD60’s. Remember, Ulmer Park would of been done if DOB didn’t shift some of their XD40 buses to West Farms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that Jamaica is getting more XD40’s some of those NG’s have to go somewhere. Usually JA swaps with Queens Village and Stengel. This is a first that Jamaica is sending buses outside the mainland to Staten Island. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has nothing to do with OMNY. YU is still set to receive the LFS as transit wants the hybrids off the island.

trainfan22 Posted March 9, 2019 Share #26290 Posted March 9, 2019 Aren't SI hybrids getting rehabbed? Maybe those 4600s are pinch hitting while YUK hybrids are getting rehabbed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t understand how the term interlining makes sense when it comes to buses One B/O does one roundtrip on a route, then may end up on layover and continue with another roundtrip with a different route in the same area or would run light to another terminal and serve another route a depot has runs with.

I don’t understand how the term interlining makes sense when it comes to buses It's like this: -A bus op starts at Spring Creek leaving the garage to do a round trip on the B100, then deadheads from Kings Hwy to Brooklyn College to do a roundtrip from Brooklyn College to Canarsie as a B103 Limited. Later deadheads to either Williams Av for break (later doing a roundtrip to Dowtown Brooklyn). Edited March 10, 2019 by Calvin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Ridge Express Posted March 10, 2019 Share #26296 Posted March 10, 2019 Why do some B/Os drive insanely slow? I get that sometimes it's with scheduling, but on the B9 today there was one b/o who almost drove at walking speed with no cars in front of him and then the B9 behind him managed to catch up, creating bunching. Although weekend B9 service in general is atrocious. Only reason I haven't started taking an uber yet is cuz at least the bus is only S2.75, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted March 10, 2019 Share #26299 Posted March 10, 2019 Does daylight savings affect service overnight? (Ex. Bus departs C.I at 1AM and gets to Spring Crk Twrs at 2AM but it's 3AM today with a B82 to depart C.I at 2AM) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
