youngblaze Posted January 18, 2013 Share #4501 Posted January 18, 2013 Hmmm, 4897 is at Quill right now and what surprises me the most is that it actually shows up as being apart of the roster in the database. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Pond Posted January 18, 2013 Share #4503 Posted January 18, 2013 So now it joins 6615 as the only 2 2005 07s in ENY (possibly the whole 2005 order) to have the new uniform on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But these buses were repainted in 2009 as Whitebacks, so it may take them a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I saw that. It went to Ulmer Park then they drove it over to Quill this morning. A biggie told me it's only there for training, they're getting XD60's so it's the same controls i'm guessing.

Turbo19 Posted January 18, 2013 Share #4512 Posted January 18, 2013 What the hell kind of f**ked up shit is this??? The MTA still hasn't installed that westbound stop at CSI for the S93. I would assume technically it's the fault of the DOT. I'm still the silghtest confused as to why sign placement isn't the responsibility of the MTA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsbridge Bus Posted January 19, 2013 Share #4513 Posted January 19, 2013 From what I was told today... Bx46 WILL run out of West Farms as expected Bx55 will be eliminated, replaced by Bx15 Limited 26 runs to be added onto the Bx15 A route will have to leave West Farms, as of now, the plan is to send the Bx19 to Hale when it opens in September 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted January 19, 2013 Share #4514 Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) So westbound B35's are now detouring on Linden blvd..... Let the fun begin ! (last night, some west indian woman was cursing the hell out of the b/o of the bus I was on [felt sorry for the guy, tbh]..... He made the right turn onto NY av, and ole yeller there was waiting at the normal WB B35 stop @ NY av [meaning she had to run from the normal stop, cross NY av, and catch the bus at the NB B44 stop]) side note: There was a bus that was a couple mins ahead of us.... I caught the bus at utica, and the bus I had just missed was over at schenectady.... * The b/o of the bus I was on, made a right onto NY av, left onto linden, left onto bedford, right on church.... * The b/o of the bus that was initially ahead of us.... this dude/chick continued on linden (which turns into caton), turned on flatbush, then turned onto church.... The bus I was on, was picking up pax at flatbush - That initial B35 made a right off flatbush, thus bypassing us..... While we were on linden, I said to myself "where the hell is that bus going" (when we got to bedford).... While faint, the b/o I had, chuckled as he was making the left onto bedford.... Drivers are doing their own thang out there these days.... *shrugs* Won't affect my normal commute though.... For one, b/c I never used to take the B35 to E. 18th in the morning for the anyway... and two, I don't take the subway to work period, so I won't have to sit up in church av traffic on a dollar cab.... Linden blvd is gonna be hectic when that construction starts jumping off on church.... Anyway, I just didn't feel like walking to E. 18th late last night, so I took the bus.....

BM5 via Woodhaven Posted January 19, 2013 Share #4519 Posted January 19, 2013 ^^^ You mean the articulated buses. I doubt it, unless it interlines with the Bx22, which is a slimmer chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted January 19, 2013 Share #4520 Posted January 19, 2013 So im on the B60 heading home from work (love the overnights lol), and this 9445 is something good here. Feels like they turned the torque up after they overhauled it. It takes off faster than an XD40 (and those take off like they got crack in the tank lol). Suspension could've been a little better, but the runs up hills. ...and this engine is screaming when it hits that high RPM before it shifts. Good job Grand Avenue lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted January 19, 2013 Share #4521 Posted January 19, 2013 746 is on the Q52 now, for anyone that wants to catch it. I have a pic that I took that I'll share later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsbridge Bus Posted January 19, 2013 Share #4525 Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) So if the Bx19 goes to Hale in September, Hale gonna have the long buses? Assuming the Bx19 is an articulated route, then yes But remember, this is just the plan as for now, anything can change from here to September as the always changes something. Anyhow, if they do decide to go forward with eliminating the Bx55 and creating the Bx15 Limited, then West Farms will have to drop a line or two. Talks about interlining the Bx15/55 have been around for quite a while now. But if Hale doesn't pick up the Bx19 or any other articulated route, then why would the need artics? It's too early to tell right now but this is what is being planned at the moment. Edited January 19, 2013 by Kingsbridge Bus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
