I'm sure it has been tough. Been checking on the QM1 to ensure that it's been running well. They've been doing a good job overall service wise and I get an update from someone on what's going on regularly, be it a driver or an e-mail from the or some other personnel. CP service has been quite good considering the situation. I happen to be on the 1:45 QM5 back to queens right now, which was not showing up on bustime for whatever reason. Other than friday evening, where I had a 20 minute wait, I have not had to wait long for a bus. Same with the M15, which has been quite good. I really hope they keep up the service since there is no way ill be able to work from home. It sort of feels like personalized service which is cool, but I'd be okay with regular crowds and traffic again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The M100 runs artics from time to time. What was unusual to me was seeing 6201 on the Bx9 this morning. A new XD60 in Nova territory is definitely foreign around these parts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda feels like ‘98 all over again where the buses aren’t a complete afterthought up here. Props to NYCT looking out for the bus riders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4P3607 Posted April 9, 2020 Share #30286 Posted April 9, 2020 Apologies if this was already noted but it seems all of the Electric buses are out of service for now. (0011-20 and 4950 and up) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(0011-20 and 4950 and up) 4950 was in service 2 days ago on the M60, and 4955 was on the M86 yesterday. But, I just checked MTA.info, and there was nothing. BTW, @4P3607, do you still make signs? I just posted a request, and was wondering if you'd gotten it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojiMet86 Posted April 10, 2020 Share #30288 Posted April 10, 2020 Saw 554 parked over by 31st Street and Ditmars yesterday; wondered what it was doing there. I noticed that the read door had a poster that read (not exact words) "Wheelchair-->Front" everyone else here. The front door had the opposite "Wheelchair board here", everybody else go to the back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY1635 Posted April 10, 2020 Share #30291 Posted April 10, 2020 I saw a kid at Green Acres get arrested by Nassau PD. He ran out the Q85 from the back of the bus, across the ring road and got intercepted at the Walmart Sign. It happened so fast that I didn't notice it. I tried entering the city once or twice but I'm noticing couple arguing in Manhattan over at Far Rockaway. I forgot those ADHD kids are on vegan diets and can now outrun the bus. I expected him to actually make it to the barrier and hop off wall they built around Rosedale. I saw the B/O for NICE do something that I used to see in the city: Stop the bus at Beach 20th and greeted a passenger with a big hug. I saw another NICE B/O do something I never see City driver do: the shuttle driver took a smoke break. The kind a parent does when they're about to beat their kid! Did a bus ride of the 113 and it's still the same. This is all related because it's implied that the city lost a lot of residents who pretty much left for other states. The city lost about 80,000 to 100,000 residents. It's on topic because I am hearing crazy stuff about Manhattanites coming over to South Hampton and Hicksville and ravaging the stores of masks and toilet paper. We can't go to the old days of being filthy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't have shit to do with NYC losing residents or some NYC patrons running out to the Hamptons to minimize their chances of getting infected.... A 1 month temp ban obviously wasn't enough.... 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBTA Posted April 10, 2020 Share #30293 Posted April 10, 2020 Is it safe to say that the M100 got converted into an artic route silently? It'll be cool if they keep it like that past the pandemic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe those crazy things are in the poster’s head ? As far as masks and toilet paper go they’ve been in short supply everywhere on Long Island from day one. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted April 10, 2020 Share #30295 Posted April 10, 2020 2019 LFS 8609, the one that just ran on the SIM1C, got into an accident earlier today. Driver was taken to the hospital, possible leg injury...awaiting details. Hope the driver is alright, and it's nothing covid related. https://www.silive.com/news/2020/04/victory-boulevard-blocked-in-meiers-corners-due-to-crash.html Note: I only said "covid related" because of the impacts this virus is having across the world. Obviously whatever caused it is also serious as well, but with covid stopping things left and right, the last thing one would want to hear is covid stopping / shutting down other stuff because it impacts people's work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pole got uprooted and fell on the bus. The bus body appears to be okay, minus a minor dent, but the force shook the bus enough to cause the windshield to fall off the bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bus ain’t even a year old. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
