Maybe they will, maybe they won’t, but anything can happen and anything is subject to change. Right, everyone is quick to say everything is subject to change but now all of sudden everything is final. 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love those things I say another 2 weeks left at most. Who knows they may last throughout the whole month of July into August. Hopefully they can extend the campaign and possibly get headliners and wraps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now there's 11 NGs on the line, the rest are 2019 LFS. Weekends they limit them and run maybe one or two at most. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even think the LFS have the SBS paint underneath. But yeah the S79 isn't SBS for passengers LOL (we just treat it as a unique express route), it's SBS "internally" so the paint scheme doesn't really matter for passengers especially since we don't pay at machines before we board. And there's no local counterpart with the same route number so the sign definitely doesn't matter anyways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted July 10, 2019 Share #27836 Posted July 10, 2019 I finally got to ride an QV express route so I been on express routes out of every MTA Depot, even Merdith. Funny thing about MA Depot is I fanned the SIM33 expecting a CAS bus to show up but it was an MA bus lol. I almost passed up the QV bus cause an DD60 02 MCI was on the QM21 and I love those old school MCI's😀 But I ended up riding the Cummins MCI cause I only been on one prior and I didn't feel like taking the Q6 back to the subway once I got off the QM21.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trainmaster5 Posted July 10, 2019 Share #27838 Posted July 10, 2019 Really random thoughts. Having dinner with some of my retired Transit friends and one person suggested that we contact the agency to make some corrections to the official website info. A few of us asked what was wrong and two people criticized the new site. One example given was my old bus stop on the B6. Sure enough if you click on the B6 toward Harway it shows you a stop at Cozine and Vermont Avenue. Problem is the stop is located at Vermont Street, not Vermont Avenue. There is a Vermont Avenue but it's located up by Highland Park and the B6 doesn't run anywhere near there. Someone else brought up the Q24 and it's western terminal. When it was the B22 it used to terminate at Lafayette Avenue, Broadway, and Patchen Avenue. My friends say the destination description on the site says Lafayette Street. What do the destination signs say ?Maybe they need some more knowledgeable people at the agency. BTW, I mentioned somewhere on the forum about an incorrect entry on subway dot org and someone suggested that I contact someone on that site. I tried but the entry about 135th Street and Lenox in the line by line guide still mentions a two track station while I remember it being three tracks. Maybe someone else might have better luck with that one. Just my quibbles. Carry on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axis Posted July 11, 2019 Share #27839 Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Can we like start a procurement/provision for an express bus route operating between Bronx & Five Towns? It’s like impossible to get to/from work everyday in Cedarhurst, the , n31, n32, and Q114 are all unreliable & nihilistic, and I flat out refuse to spend extra just to take the LIRR.

Axis Posted July 11, 2019 Share #27841 Posted July 11, 2019 All other options are exhausted as far too unreliable & not showing up on-command. I am afraid it has become more than necessary, for reasons of network coverage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no demand for such a route, you're better off getting a car for such a commute.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Avenue buses either have 30x240 on most of their NG’s and The Formula Grand Prix driverside wrap. I doubt they have the Honest Tea driverside wrap on their buses. Great picture from 96th and Flatlands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil 57 Posted July 13, 2019 Share #27849 Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) Remember those Museum of Sex ads that went viral because they were on the front of the bus and the B/Os were getting harassed? Well they are back on the front of the buses but with an American flag background instead of a black background. Let's see how long it takes before they get ripped off again. They are in the process of taking off the oatmilk ads so you won't see them that much right now. Edited July 13, 2019 by Lil 57 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
