Future ENY OP Posted December 15, 2019 Share #29259 Posted December 15, 2019 58 minutes ago, Flatbush SBS Duece said: According to my union chairman at my depot, it looks like the sb46 will be fully articulated buses runs. But of course if there isn't enough articulated buses to pull out for service since they are splitting buses with the sb44, Sometimes you may see some of the 40ft wrap buses in service for both lines. Most of the 40ft wrap buses will be unwrapped and thrown into local service. Words are rapidly spreading around at the depot with managements last week regarding changing Flatbush fleet into Articulated fleet only since majority of the routes are straight forward except for the B2 and B31 that are short. This week we used only articulated buses for the J , Q, and A shuttle. I know myself the other day I pulled out the new Nova articulated bus to do the J shuttle from Broadway "Williamsburg" to Manhattan Essex Street. We had 12 Articulated buses together riding down Utica avenue/Malcom X Blvd deadheading to the starting point Hewes Street and Broadway in Brooklyn. "Yes we were able to make that left turn from Malcolm X Blvd into Broadway." 5 minutes ago, A Former New Yorker said: Question: Is the B46 going to be fully articulated or is it only for SBS Your answer is on top of this post sir. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4P3607 Posted December 16, 2019 Share #29261 Posted December 16, 2019 I was looking at the Q100 schedule and noticed buses don't serve Rikers between 5:30 AM and 7 AM. Is there any reason for this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Baisley Park will only have at least 10 buses for the QM21. I never understood to why the QM4 went on the Jamaica side in the first place since it was always College Point since QSC. I guess bus is finally making sense of this. Just surprised the Q64 didn’t go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will likely happen, as BP will only have the QM21. They won’t need many buses for that. It won’t last long because the plans on gutting off-peak and weekend service, so be ready for a fight. The QM4 is already being targeted. There was a meeting tonight... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
