Other transit providers tend to not have any qualms about listing a specific company some bus stop is at or near (especially smaller transit providers), but that is something I've noticed that the MTA typically/purposely refrained from doing....

Ah, the good ole days where you can watch a television show that didn't blur out popular name brand logos on clothing....

Maybe they hope you will get off the bus and go right into the Chevy dealer to buy a car and never need the Q12 again ;)

I mean these days that's called "unauthorized product placement" and the MTA loses enough frivolous lawsuits as it is.

Switching gears to more bizarre stuff...

I honestly have no words to describe any of this.

I'm not even going to pretend like I'm outraged over this worldstarhiphop worthy fodder anymore (although I'd like to know the backstory, just for the f*** of it)....

These kids tryna go viral, but oh would the world be a better place if they went virile

The M191 seems to be suspended with no suspension notice on the website. It’s on the bus stops though.

 

I would probably predict that the Elevator Shuttle for the A train at 181st St is also suspended for the same reason

All together now...more proof that...the craziest people in America come from the Bronx, and all of Florida! People will deny it, but this is proof of that and there is proof every day of it.

For the people in the IG post...would that be the worst thing to plow them over? It's clear that they're future delinquents.

Anyone with better bus knowledge than me know what the capacity of an XD40 and XD60 are, seated + standing? I'm thinking of starting up more cohesive transit writings again so I need this info, but everywhere I can find only really estimates seated.
