NBTA Posted February 9, 2020 Share #29901 Posted February 9, 2020 Saw an interesting short turn today, at around 6ish M60 +SBS+ 125-LEX AV Now granted, this was from 106th Street, don't know how often these short turns run, but its cool to document them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw a “Bx17 E. 149 ST” short turn. Dang,that moment when even the lighter ridership routes have to do short turns to keep OT costs down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akin to that of a collective of talent in an NBA starting lineup, but not having much of any cohesiveness between them (e.g. the Knicks in the mid 2000's ).... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastFlatbushLarry Posted February 12, 2020 Share #29918 Posted February 12, 2020 one of my "favorite" short signs to get at different points that weren't actually built into run paddles were: B82 to Rockaway Parkway Station (eastbound) M101 to 125 Street/Amsterdam Avenue (northbound. follow the westbound Bx15 to layover & turn around) as a kid in the mid-90's, i vividly remember the B60 short sign to East New York Avenue (northbound). the 60 was based out of ENY Depot at the time, and the 60 reliefs were also at East NY Avenue. i believe at a later point, the 60 reliefs were moved to Rock Station, to coincide with the B50 & B42. if anyone remembers that, I'd be grateful for some assistance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now look, all door boarding about to start in a couple years and we have all these narrow rear doored buses. All the new LFSAs 5439-5602 should've came with wide rear doors, and all Xcelsior artics in the new scheme 5364-5438, 5987-6286, 1000-1109, 4950-4964, should've came with wide rear doors.

Absolutely true. And more NYK news. Steve Stoute is now the brand ambassador for them and got embarrassed 😞 on his first day if that’s any other interest that the Knicks truly suck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Valiant Posted February 12, 2020 Share #29923 Posted February 12, 2020 Are 4109, 4139, 4336, 4410, 4584 still at Flatbush Depot? I don’t think those have run in a little while. Is it possible those units were transferred to the Bronx? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
