If you can answer this but how come the Bronx has the most articulated routes throughout the city?

The Bronx along with manhattan have high ridership routes which probably is the reason for the need of Articulated buses

If you like Cuomo wrapped XD40s, then well if you were at Willamsburg Plaza today it was an wonderland for you Cuomo wrapped buses were all over that area today😄

 

 

Even two Proterras were there, but I'm not sure what routes they were used on. 

Lol oh yes especially for the new line B91 and B92.

Three months ago they would have been all RTS buses mczoayrp3chbzbah.jpg?skj2io4l duck.gif

I was on the Q58 yesterday and I saw two fare beaters with different approaches. Which of the two is more infuriating?

- A woman in her 20s quickly snuck through the back door and sat down with a grin on her face. Someone wanted to sit next to her but she pointed to the front of the bus and said that she was saving it for her boyfriend who had paid the fare and sat down. She had an iPhone and could clearly afford the bus fare.

- A teen holding his phone and with earbuds clearly out, just pointed to the inside of the bus, indicating that he would not pay his fare, and got on.

Let me see that teen do that to the bus driver of that Q112. 

#2 is a savage

Save for the holding the seat bit, I see #1 play out so many times with older riders on the B12, B35, and B46, it's not even funny.... They have this weird smile on their faces, as if to say, *I deeeeeeed it, I deeeeeeds it, this how you get over on these muthumf**kuz" - and expect you to give up a seat on the strength of some, respect your elders.... FOH.. You don't automatically get respect out of me, solely because you're past your prime....

I guess that answers your question... I find #1 more infuriating (that isn't to excuse the brazen lil bastard in situation #2 in the slightest).....

Y’all should get on the Bee-Line bus sometime. The drivers there have balls of steel and are ready to curse you out if you so much as take more than 3 seconds to dip your MetroCard.

Right now, in the middle of the PM Rush there's only ONE RTS in service on the B41, so weird to see considering they have been a major part of the B41 fleet since the 80s... before I was even born.

 

 

Looks like 5125 is the last FLA RTS I will ride which happened on the B46 a couple days ago, bus ran hard. I remember the last RTS rides I had at my favorite depots..

 

 

FLA - 5125

UP - 5092

ENY - 4925
