Calvin Posted January 5, 2020 Share #29527 Posted January 5, 2020 In effect Bx27 bus stop adjustments Theses changes are due to the introduction of articulated buses on this route. Discontinued bus stops: West Farms Rd at Westchester Av (both directions) New bus stops: Westchester Av at Hoe Av (northbound) Hoe Av at Westchester Av (southbound) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted January 5, 2020 Share #29528 Posted January 5, 2020 The Bx27 is the next artic route. That's a really interesting choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be easier to use regular buses until the next capital plan is approved? It might have to do with the possible arrival of the Bx39 to West Farms when the winter pick for Transit starts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is referenced to the Bx35 going artic back in the fall. They never corrected it. When the Bx35 went artic, the terminal could not fit the Bx11, 27, and 35, so they moved the Bx27 to the far side of West Farms Road and Hoe Avenue. There is still some information that the MTA has not corrected for some of the Bronx routes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All buses can fit in that terminal. Articulation does not have to be different from where the Bx35 is articulated. If it was that way, then the service on any articulated route should’ve changed right from the start, not three or four months later Edited January 5, 2020 by FLX9304 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just never updated nor corrected the information. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted January 6, 2020 Share #29540 Posted January 6, 2020 Question....so this morning a bus's farebox wasn't working but didn't have no paper over the box. But he was pressing a button that sounds just like F5 for each person getting on for free. Can someone explain this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brillant93 Posted January 6, 2020 Share #29541 Posted January 6, 2020 Ive been meaning to speak on that fare box F5 thing. I’ve been witnessing BO pressing it excessively when people don’t pay their fare. One time there was like three people who didn’t and the BO pressed it like 7 times. It happens a lot so when the MTA does it report on fare loss I think this BO are at partial fault because they’re not pressing the button to reflect who didn’t actually pay. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They press it excessively just to mess up the numbers or they take their frustration out on the button. The door has passenger counters so I hope the MTA is using that and calculating the difference of who did pay to find out how many didn't. Because that pissed me off this morning, looked like he was fake saying the box isn't working but pressing a button for each person that walk on, I've NEVER seen that. I was heated.

Soace Posted January 6, 2020 Share #29543 Posted January 6, 2020 7040 was involved in an accident this morning on the S40 at Davis Ave and Richmond Terrace at 7:22. Box truck sideswiped the back of it. Damage is not serious. If anyone wants to see it feel free to reply to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted January 8, 2020 Share #29547 Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Noticed a line for the Q64 started from the 1st stop to Electchester went all the way to the end of 70th Rd. With that, there's 2 buses at the stop while the next one is at Jewel Av and Main St around 4 PM. Edited January 8, 2020 by Calvin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The door counter is only available on some Staten Island buses, and it is known that is not accurate at times. It provides a rough idea of how many people board the bus, but the technology is still being refined. As an example, numerous express buses will say "Limited Seating" on BusTime, when in reality, the bus is standing room only. All new buses should have the technology for sure though, especially on the express bus side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The B/O is actually trying to save his job and that run that he/she is on. Press F5 after rider beats fare - Rider is tallied Not pressing F5 after rider beats fare - Rider is not tallied. Bean counters downtown (falsely) believe route is losing riders, opening the door for more service cuts down the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
