IRT Bronx Express Posted November 2, 2011 Share #501 Posted November 2, 2011 I took the Bx36 today, Soundview-bound, and it was detoured to Burnside Av between Grand Concourse and Webster Ave/178 St. The B/O said there was a road collapse between Anthony Av and Valentine Av. I can't remember when was the last time I took a detoured bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRT Bronx Express Posted November 3, 2011 Share #503 Posted November 3, 2011 Really the road collapsed? This I got to check....Yep, that's what the B/O said. Some passengers wanting to get off at the other side of Concourse and Anthony Av had to get off in front of Concourse (near the downtown Bx1/2 stop). I don't know if downtown buses were rerouted to Burnside Av, however, and I don't know for sure if everything's back to normal now. It was hard to see that hill at Tremont since the driver took a turn at 178 St. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted November 4, 2011 Share #504 Posted November 4, 2011 Not sure if it has been reported, but RTS 5052 has the driver side 'glass' partition. Got on this bus today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtNovaBusRTS9369 Posted November 5, 2011 Share #505 Posted November 5, 2011 Whoo, wee I can't get over #9366. I rode that bus earlier on the (Q46) & had one of the strongest 2nd gears out of the RTS's in QV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted November 7, 2011 Share #507 Posted November 7, 2011 Just rode 4430 on the M2, that is one fresh bus. Newest bus I've ridden in the current fleet, this thing just flies. lol... Maybe they did some work too it... It's not that old though, but I've been noticing that they've been doing a few things here and there with the NGs on those lines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted November 7, 2011 Share #509 Posted November 7, 2011 That bus is almost brand new, makes sense it'd fly! MTA got it in late 2009 I believe, only a year and a half in service IINM. They have been doing some work though, I know the OGs 6416, 6650, 6655, and a couple others have had their engines thoroughly fixed up recently. Yeah it's very evident though... They've also been changing out the seats too I notice amongst other things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtNovaBusRTS9369 Posted November 7, 2011 Share #510 Posted November 7, 2011 Earlier this eveing I saw #4939 on the (Q4) LTD. It had a fresh re-paint & makes the bus look pretty good plus I haven't seen it for a while. I'll assume it was @ Zerega for the repaint. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Pond Posted November 15, 2011 Share #520 Posted November 15, 2011 I can vouch for that, I went down to fan there last week and you've got ENY, FB, GA, SC, JG, and FP buses all on one corner. [Aaaand the ladies haha] 60th and 2nd you've also got the Q32, Q60, Q101, M15 and M15 SBS along with being two blocks from the M31 and M57, one block from the M101/M102/M103. [60 y/o Polish ladies] Then there's also... -Harlem (go along 125 St) -Pelham Bay -Flushing -Kings Plaza -St. George -Near Herald Sq (mainly if you're an MCI type of guy) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted November 16, 2011 Share #521 Posted November 16, 2011 Two weeks closer to Judgment Day for LIB. They've been running Orion Vs sparingly - either they bring out the older ones from 2000 (1500s) or the 2003 batch (1632 and up) and running NGs everywhere they can, especially on the N6 and N16. This ghetto queen waiting for an N31 was butthurt when she found out the NG sitting in the N31 bay was an N32. She ranted to the bus operator for no good reason.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRT Bronx Express Posted November 16, 2011 Share #522 Posted November 16, 2011 Thanks to those that gave me suggestions. I'll start in the Bronx first and then other areas later on. Anyone knows any other excellent spots for me to busfan?

Fresh Pond Posted November 17, 2011 Share #523 Posted November 17, 2011 Since I moved I haven't been on the Q67, so today I decided to give a swing att it. For starters, I got bus 104 and the destination sign is broken (not suprised). There's 2 passengers on the bus (once again, not suprised), and cotunting myself and the driver, there's a total of 3 people on this trip At least the bus rides good (total shocker right there) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poughkipsee Posted November 17, 2011 Share #524 Posted November 17, 2011 This has probably been answered somewhere, but I didn't find it. I am looking to clarify the different divisions; all the regular buses (like Bx9) would be considered NYCT or MaBSTOA and all the expresses (like BxM3) are "MTA Bus"? Also, what is the difference between MaBSTOA and NYCT? I will be starting with NYCT next week and was wondering if I wanted to take the BxM3 (since I live in Yonkers) versus taking the BeeLine to one of the subway terminals that my employee pass would be valid. What I've read so far is that NYCT passes are NOT compatible with MTA Bus? Even though it's all MTA?:confused: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted November 17, 2011 Share #525 Posted November 17, 2011 That's right. NYCT personnel do not get free rides on Bus Company routes (the opposite is true as well). LIB employees do get passes, but they are only valid on LIB. I can't remember what further restrictions there were, but I think it involved express buses. I caught a good five new (i.e. from post 2009) buses on the way home today, and finally got to see an XD40 up close. That rear seating arrangement will never work in territory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
