If you saw the SIM10 during the early days you would have your answer lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil 57 Posted July 21, 2019 Share #27952 Posted July 21, 2019 Why doesn't the follow NJT's steps and put a "Standing Room Only" sign up on the express buses when all the seats are taken? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobtehpanda Posted July 21, 2019 Share #27953 Posted July 21, 2019 So this is probably a really dumb question, but is there a reason why articulated buses don't have the wheels in the articulated section, similar to how some trams have the bogies in the articulation themselves? (Also, does anyone know where I can find good interior shots of a Select Bus Service bus? I want to use some for a blog post.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I attached a spreadsheet below that shows the potential assignments of the fleet to make service: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_B8Hu1hRaZ4hjToejxvy-FDPlBGSxEn3k_sW1-Vfc64 Note that it may be somewhat inaccurate due to not taking into account buses lost in accidents, buses not ordered yet, etc. So is East New York isn’t getting Artics ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, that isn't really followed, partially because the B/O has a schedule to keep and will not have the time to actively take a count of seats. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwwnyc123 Posted July 21, 2019 Share #27957 Posted July 21, 2019 Right because the focus now is Bronx or Manhattan needs get there artics first before Brooklyn and I'm surprised that B44SBS is the only articulated route in Brooklyn. Meanwhile Manhattan, Bronx and Queens has a lot of artics route. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the B46 sbs is going artic part time in future along with the B15 and B82. We’ll just gonna have to wait and see till next summer when we have the buses come back from mta bus and when the L train construction work is completed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not worried about that, and yes, I know that they will come next summer. However, I feel that the B15 EN route to go artic since the B82 SBS needs to have new blue and gold buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV184 Posted July 21, 2019 Share #27962 Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) So last week while I was coming back from Midtown I took an M2 4252 and it was signed up as M2 Worth St via 5av/Bowery anyone know why?

(For its actual intended purpose), it's a waste of time.... People will (and do) attempt to cram onto those MCI's anyway.... I was done when I was on a #319 one time, where dude was sitting in the walkway.... Whenever someone had to use the bathroom, he had to get up out the way (bumping into the row of seating I & some other dude was sitting in).... Highly annoying. Ironically & personally, when I see NJT's w/ the standing room only signage, I assume that there's NO standing room on the bus.... In other words, I prepare to get flagged.

I don't agree at all with the S74/78 cuts. This shows how bad local service along Hylan Blvd can get when SBS is added to it. The Stapleton area is also going to suffer as well on Sundays because every mode of transportation is going to run every 30 minutes.
