MV was really close to wiping them all out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least 10 are left at MCH. 60 of their other local buses are about 1/2 of Next Gens and the new XDE-40.

MCH- XDE40 allotment is basically done with exception of 9560-9562, Correct. Not counting the option order which comes a little later on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the base order allotment for OF is complete with the exception of 9560-9562. 9560 and 9562 have been built, haven't seen or heard anything on 9561. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems that Manhattan wants the Old Gens spread around the range of 10-18 each (100 St not included) to avoid being used on weekends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted September 22, 2021 Share #35287 Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) Question for causal express bus riders... when waiting at an bus stop with "regulars" do these regulars ask are you waiting for the Express bus route that stops at that stop? This happened to me from time to time at SC and Ulmer Park Express bus stops over the years. Always thought that was odd as that rarely happens with the local bus, not sure if their trying to be friendly or what.

They ask to not mistakenly cut you in the line or to make sure that they waiting in the right spot for the bus. (Since some express buses stop staggered from the stop pole) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Since some express buses stop staggered from the stop pole) I always wondered about the staggered stops…is that an official thing, or is it an informal thing that all the B/O’s on a line learn to do? It can be confusing when I go to some stops during peak vs. off peak and they stop in different locations for the same stop depending on time of day 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted September 24, 2021 Share #35294 Posted September 24, 2021 The S40/90 Limited tend to get crowded most of the time leaving the terminal now. While boarding the S40 around 1 PM leaving the Ferry terminal, all the seats were filled. Coming back to the terminal, all were packed, thanks to the Amazon warehouse extension. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future ENY OP Posted September 24, 2021 Share #35295 Posted September 24, 2021 Question for @Calvin, @Around the Horn, @Cait Sith Is the D99 shuttle bus all Brooklyn Division only or Just Ulmer Park. The reason I ask this is b/c 7333 out of Flatbush and 454 out of Gleason was spotted working the shuttle earlier today. However, the last few days of the operation it's been an Ulmer Park ops only. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted September 24, 2021 Share #35297 Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) Three Meredith Express buses are stuck at a RR crossing in SI next to West Shore Plaza, was fanning the S46 and now this freight train came to a complete stop right on the RR Crossing SMH. Never thought I'd see this type of delay in NYC of all places, didn't even know SI had railroad crossings!
