Cait Sith Posted June 28, 2020 Share #31052 Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) With that said, that's a huge abuse of forum privilege here. Not to mention, you are only allowed one account on here. To abuse that privilege just to boost your own posts is just stupid in general. 5 minutes ago, Jova42R said: What do you mean? Its a chat. If you want to leave, you can.

You gave it up with the typing style on all THREE of your accounts....you type the same across the board. And you begging for codes on that R32 account exposed yourself pretty hard.... You'll be sitting in the spectator's box from now on. Edited June 28, 2020 by Cait Sith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B35 via Church Posted June 28, 2020 Share #31054 Posted June 28, 2020 This went left real quick.... I see a larger problem here with this guy, but to hell with it.... All I'm going to say that it's pretty sad when you have to create multiple accounts to try to expedite information out of people...... No hobby should ever be that serious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The B99 is a new bus route that kicked off early this morning (runs overnights only)....

However, the total is enough to cover service with spares on their articulated routes. GH lost 12 buses. Although, 5 remained and kept as they are spares from the pool. If anything, they can move like 2-4 out to either KB or GH from TU or WF. LFSAs that is. Edited June 29, 2020 by Calvin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted June 29, 2020 Share #31065 Posted June 29, 2020 I doubt they'll leave 5 oddball XD60s at GH with 150 LFSAs as their artic fleet. They'll probably head over tonight, 4743-4753, 4781-4793 is only 24 and I believe they were due for 28. It'll also be nice if they can run a few on the B6, especially if an operator has the B1/B6 in their shift. It'll be a good test for future artic operations (which are inevitable at this point). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know, I used to ride the route almost daily pre-COVID. But the XD40s serve the line very well, I remember seeing bus after bus in a never-ending stream, and almost none of them too crowded.

Yepp the B6 is one of the heaviest ridership routes in Brooklyn. It is a route that can definitely use artics, and maybe an SBS variant down the line. Also, now that Ulmer Park can handle artics, the B6 getting artics or running artics isn't far behind. Side note: It is hilarious watching these B1 drivers exaggerate their turns and waiting for extra space with these buses. If they understood the engineering behind an artic, they would know that the turning doesn't need more radius than a 40ft bus. They're driving these buses as if it's 60ft of a non-bendy bus. But, practice makes perfect. Edited June 29, 2020 by XcelsiorBoii4888 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around the Horn Posted June 29, 2020 Share #31073 Posted June 29, 2020 That one turn onto 87th Street has been a major pain in the ass for years so I'm frankly not surprised at all that ops are taking it super wide with artics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted June 29, 2020 Share #31074 Posted June 29, 2020 Does the parking on streets get affected if a standard route is converted to an artic? Like the B38 on Onderdonk and Seneca Avs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
