ciboii22 Posted December 22, 2012 Share #4001 Posted December 22, 2012 That's such BS... So now Ulmer Park gets more garbage to give up some of their newer buses... Smh... Oh well, thats managements choice. It doesn't bother me, I like the RTSs so more for us. I just went inside and saw 9601 & 9610 sitting near the body shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted December 22, 2012 Share #4002 Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) That's such BS... So now Ulmer Park gets more garbage to give up some of their newer buses... Smh... save the crap, at least it's 9600s rather than 8800 or the 9000s from FB. And what about ENY don't they deserve newer buses? Not everyone can have new buses....and when was the last time you rode an UP route? Jamaica depot and Queens village is their top pay 29.96 or is like the other ATU 26.86. Any info will be more than appreciated. any particular reason you are asking about unions?

ciboii22 Posted December 22, 2012 Share #4005 Posted December 22, 2012 Lol, well he does hate the provosts because they feel 'cheap'. They aren't cheap, they're nice to me and they are strong. I think the new MCI's are better though, but everybody has their own opinions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threxx Posted December 22, 2012 Share #4007 Posted December 22, 2012 The engines sound poor, but they do have a higher level of luxury than the MCI's... that's his opinion, many of us have unfathomable opinions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted December 22, 2012 Share #4011 Posted December 22, 2012 And in the long run, that's a good thing as fuel prices aren't going to go down drastically anytime soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted December 22, 2012 Share #4012 Posted December 22, 2012 That's such BS... So now Ulmer Park gets more garbage to give up some of their newer buses... Smh... UP should just keep the 3Gs, obviously they're not all about keeping the NBQP buses in 1 depot anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenEleven Posted December 22, 2012 Share #4013 Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) UP should just keep the 3Gs, obviously they're not all about keeping the NBQP buses in 1 depot anymore. Because the NBQP is over all the three bus models. It would make sense to send the 3Gs to SI as its "Orion Land" over there. It's a fair trade though. 30 2011s for 30 2011s.

MHV9218 Posted December 22, 2012 Share #4014 Posted December 22, 2012 It's about time ENY got some new buses, and I'm sure glad that it's not hand-me-down NGs either. UP's XD40s still run very fresh, and with ENY maintenance in charge, those buses should be pretty strong (even if they look 20 years old lol). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted December 22, 2012 Share #4015 Posted December 22, 2012 But they have saved us a crapload of $$ in fuel savings. Plus the MTA turned down those engines to as low as they can go ...and the still run like a bat out of hell lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acela Express Posted December 22, 2012 Share #4018 Posted December 22, 2012 OKAY MAJOR MOVES GOING ON RIGHT NOW: 9601, 9610, 9633 and 9650 at Ulmer Park from Flatbush. 4946, 4949, 4952 and 4953 from East New York to Flatbush, delivered this evening (Friday night). Also, 4829, 4839, 4857, 4864 at East New York from Ulmer Park. So ENY 35 Xcelsiors, Ulmer Park Gets The 9600's & Flatbush Gets The 4900's. Nice copy/paste. As for the 9600s going to UP and 4900s going to the Bush, I'll try to get confirmation as no one has said/claimed that 100% yet. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Pond Posted December 22, 2012 Share #4022 Posted December 22, 2012 I may not be a fan of the 3Gs (seats are too bunched together and I can't fit in any of them except for the back row), but I do admit there's some good things about them... -it has a little scream coming out of 1st gear -the whole dimming of the lights when the doors close and in reverse is a nice touch -the framed windows ...i may hate the ZF EcoLife transmission, but it gets the job done going up hills. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been long over due for newer buses. Edited December 22, 2012 by Grand Concourse 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what about ENY don't they deserve newer buses? Not everyone can have new buses....and when was the last time you rode an UP route? Oh please... Those RTSs have seen their prime already a long time ago... Time to go already... The last time a rode an RTS in Brooklyn was on a B6 and it looked horrid inside... A 51XX if I recall correctly. I'm in Brooklyn regularly, least you forget that I'm from Brooklyn. Anywho, the UP buses I tend to use regularly are the B4, B6, B64, X27, X28, though over the years I've used all of the UP lines, save the B74. I was down there a few weeks ago to be precise and make several trips down there each month.... I'm sure I'm more involved with bus service in Southern Brooklyn than you are and you still live there. Anything that isn't "new" or an express bus seems to be garbage to you right? Uh excuse me, but there are MCI express buses that are 7 - 8 years old that are in pristine condition and they're far better than those new Prevosts which are utter garbage. Those RTSs and those ex-Bee Line buses should've been retired already. UP should just keep the 3Gs, obviously they're not all about keeping the NBQP buses in 1 depot anymore. UP needs all of the new buses they can get, not more hand me down RTSs.... Edited December 22, 2012 by Via Garibaldi 8 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
