The woman behind me asked the bus op does this bus go down Sutphin Boulevard, she said no that's the Q6. A case of right number, wrong letter. Probably happens in Flushing and Jamaica Center as well.

Probably the same reason someone would be confused at 2 Av/125 St if they saw a Bx15/M15 at the same time even though they are completely different. I would assume it would be similar to the N20G/Q20A/Q20B and N6/Q6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see One could confuse the N20 for the Q20 in Flushing N6 for the Q6 at Jamaica Terminal. Doubt it would have been N1 for Q1 or N2 for Q2 or N3 for Q3 N4 for Q4 at Jamaica Center I'm old school. So I left the N capitalized 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted December 31, 2022 Share #37354 Posted December 31, 2022 I wonder how recently the Next Gens that were sent from NYC Bus to MTA Bus were retired even though they were in service to replace the Old Gens. Meanwhile, the base numbers are still intact that aren't retired (4020-4039, 4140-4169, 4631-4655). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCT/MaBstoa Buses are used a lot more than the bus ones and have way more mileage. Remember they use NYCT/MaBstoa Buses on subway shuttles a lot more than bus. Plus a good portion of these buses are beat up, I would say Baisley is lucking out because the majority of their next gens except 1 were from good depots. while a sizable chunk of LGA's NG's were from garbage depots hence why they say screw it and send them to ECH and i can't blame them.

So I left the N capitalized While somewhat rhetorical, what I was getting at is, how often does this confusion of sorts actually happen.... ------------------------ As far as Nassau's routes are concerned, I capitalize the N when I'm making a reference to an old LIB route/routing that differs from a current NICE route... (i.e., I'll say the N79 if I'm referring to the old Mineola - HIcksville route/routing.... If I'm referring to the n79 of today, I'll keep the prefix lowercase.... If the routes are no different, then I'll also keep it lowercase)....Too bad the MTA doesn't come close to the levels of NICE's innovation.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTS 5124 Posted January 4, 2023 Share #37362 Posted January 4, 2023 Yes I have taken notice to many changes of routes in the Bronx. Honestly I love it now with the 36 bus being confined to East Tremont Avenue now. You get to the heights and back so much faster now!!! With regard to the Orion 7 next gens, I have already expressed my views about this. The MTA should save some next gens. It is still a very innovative design. It would be a very bad choice to retire all of them. The acceleration and instant torque is still robust. Very fast bus. Very fun to ride on. More exciting to ride than Beeline's Nabi Hybrids. The MTA should save about 30 next gens. Clean and sanitize them inside real good. Give them new shocks and retune the engines. That's it. You don't want to scrap all of them. Trust me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should of put “in theory” as there was supposed to be a bump in how many buses are scheduled for 23 service. I didn’t realize that was a supposed complaint, but that seems to be a problem system-wide no matter what route. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far they are legitimately complaining about the scheduled trips not coming and thus long waits. Seems to be that they don't have enough drivers to make service. Not sure about recently, but it was a problem a few months after the redesign started. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
