LGA Link N Train Posted October 25, 2020 Share #32302 Posted October 25, 2020 Took the Q103 today from the first Stop (Astoria/2nd Street) all the way down to the last stop (Vernon Blvd/Borden Avenue). Even with a detour, I reached LIC a lot faster than I was expecting today 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many people got on between the projects (Astoria) & the Costco's (not inclusive)? The Q103 from end to end is usually a breeze anyway - Bonus points if much of nobody gets off for the ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted October 25, 2020 Share #32304 Posted October 25, 2020 Not sure how long they done this but, with the Shuttle buses at Atlantic Av-Barclays: there is a line to get on to the bus. When the bus is nearly full, they let the bus op know to close the doors so the next bus can enter the stop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often do you really see dispatchers or whatever at terminal locations otherwise.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bus was detoured away from Costco (saw some NYPD Vehicles so I assume something happened) but only 1 person got on near it. The whole ride, it was just 2-5 people (not including the operator) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R10 2952 Posted October 26, 2020 Share #32307 Posted October 26, 2020 Some of the routes in that part of Queens can be like that; there's two in particular out of Queens Plaza that come to mind- the Q67 and the Q39. Back in the day the 67 was reasonably fast if you were traveling from say Middle Village to LIC or vice-versa, better than the Queens Blvd subway lines to be honest. Didn't ride the 39 too often, but it was similar- RTSes just gliding through green lights in semi-deserted industrial areas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimategamer12c Posted October 26, 2020 Share #32309 Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) So 190 from CP Depot was signed up as the Q50 for a good minute , that's nice to see once in a full blue moon.. it was a codebreak 🤦🏿♂️ would have been cool though....

I saw it over a week ago (Friday, 10/16 to be exact) outside parked at the Conduit Avenue entrance ramp near the Lefferts Blvd AirTrain Station. I was on the B15 when I saw it. Instead of getting off at the station, I stayed on to go by the facility at JFK to see if there was other new buses, but there were none. I stayed on the B15 until the last stop, got off and took the AirTrain back to Lefferts Blvd and surprise 9560 was still there. As I got off the train and walked towards where the bus was parked, 9560 turned on and drove off on the highway. I never saw a bus drove away that fast. I felt like Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner from the “Looney Tunes” cartoons. LOL. Hopefully I’ll get to see it again before it gets assigned to a Depot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdog14 Posted October 26, 2020 Share #32319 Posted October 26, 2020 It looks like the new XDE40s come with the doors similar to 5311 (can't tell though) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 38/39XXs are going to Queens along with the XDEs, and everything in the Bronx is being pushed down to Brooklyn. The Bronx and Manhattan are getting LFS HEVs. But still, unpredictability, stuff can change in a heartbeat (i.e Manhattan getting XDEs {I think they are supposed to anyway}). i thought you said that there isnt a list of assignments 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted October 26, 2020 Share #32323 Posted October 26, 2020 Hale and MTV gotta get an piece of this XDE/LFS HEV pie IMO. The vast majority of Hale's 40FT buses are 12+ years old and those 66/6700s are next up for retirement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also there might be a possibility that Manhattanville Depot can get both Xcelsiors and Nova hybrids and shift those hybrids and 2008 Orion VIIs to other depots like JFK, LaGuardia or Quill 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
