They are doing the best they can. There are simply not enough drivers, so there will be gaps, and there is no way around it. As I said, the overnight work is being done via overtime which is voluntary, so if drivers don't sign up for it, there will be even more gaps in service. Your efforts and outreach are appreciated! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrivera Posted May 9, 2020 Share #30552 Posted May 9, 2020 I got a MTA text alert a little while ago that was actually marketing express bus service. Craig Cipriano (DOB) and Sarah Feinberg are earning their keep. Maybe they’ll both have their interim tags taken off soon enough. Buses are getting more well deserved respect the last couple of months imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's a complete hack and her move trashing Byford once she was appointed was noticed by a lot of people and hardly well-received. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorkerX Posted May 9, 2020 Share #30554 Posted May 9, 2020 I just got off a 4200 series bus from MHV advertising OMNY being available starting May 31st at Noon. Of course there was fine print, but I carrying groceries plus the person sitting next to the sign so I couldn't read it closer. It couldn't be an old sign since it was placed right across from the rear doors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have met quite a few ordinary commuters like myself since I started my group that have been on him non-stop. He sat in front of me in my second meeting and I didn't hold back on my criticisms of the poor service. Very nice guy from what I see, but I'm sure I rubbed him the wrong way. lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I guess a certain level of brown nosing is a prerequisite for any Cuomo appointment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted May 9, 2020 Share #30562 Posted May 9, 2020 Plastic shields is what you'll see next as part of MTA's Safe Travels. Wonder if the express will do the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyer 230 Posted May 10, 2020 Share #30563 Posted May 10, 2020 Hmm plastic shields on buses, interesting. I did see a person the other day on the Q88 cross under the yellow chain and boy did the bus operated get angry. So I guess at this point they need to do what they need to do to prevent operators from getting sick. I wonder how long this practice will last once this pandemic is over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it go to the Bronx or did it short-turn somewhere? That would certainly be a rare catch, up there with the MCI coach on the Q46. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aemoreira81 Posted May 12, 2020 Share #30573 Posted May 12, 2020 4743 was doing driver training in the Spring Creek Towers area today. I suspect that the B1 is on track to become articulated for summer pick? (The bus still has Kingsbridge stickers.) It is not unusual for Spring Creek Towers to be used by other garages and divisions for driver training, especially with the Seaview Avenue loop and sometimes the off-Penn Avenue loops too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised they are training now. did they have a bunch of trainees crowded in the bus today? I hope they were all wearing masks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they were all wearing masks! Yes there were trainees sitting in the seats, all with PPE. NYC is likely on track to resume normal operations in early June. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
