GojiMet86 Posted March 22, 2013 Share #5976 Posted March 22, 2013 @GojiMet86: 7 North Street Staten Island, NY 10302 http://www.atlanticexpress.com/X23-south-shore-commuter.html Gotta love Google! I thought they had their depot elsewhere. Anyway, Culver's right. That's a tiny depot. Now if only I could find the roster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S78 via Hylan Posted March 22, 2013 Share #5980 Posted March 22, 2013 For the first time, I caught the (B49) Limited at the first stop which is Bedford Av and Empire Blvd and rode it all the way to KBCC. The B/O flew most of the route and we had a few standees, but the bus wasn't packed. Another note, B49 LTDs go non-stop after Sheepshead Bay to KBCC, but the schedule doesn't show that. Otherwise, I enjoyed the ride. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We kinda have maps for that. The schedule just shows the limited take about approx. 6 minutes between Sheepshead Bay and KBCC. I used to ride the B49 LTD to school (KBCC) all the time.

Orion VII 4 Life Posted March 22, 2013 Share #5982 Posted March 22, 2013 Atlantic Express is BIG, they have multiple depots as they're a big school bus operator so they probably have the X23/24 MCIs and Vanhools stored at different garages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

checkmatechamp13 Posted March 22, 2013 Share #5984 Posted March 22, 2013 That's a tiny depot. I'm guessing that's a small one just for the X23/X24 then. Well there's the Bus depot location they'd need. On a related note, anybody ever been one one of those Van Hool coaches they use? I'm wondering if they'll be bidding (they got a week left!) on the express bus contract. The thing is that they also have some other buses stored there for charter service (so it's not like MTA Bus where they strictly run service for regular riders/commuters). My school's right in the area, and I see them deadheading past there all the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojiMet86 Posted March 22, 2013 Share #5985 Posted March 22, 2013 So I typed in "Atlantic Express" in Google Earth, and I have this: 1) The aforementioned depot in Staten Island. 2) A school bus garage on Ralph Avenue and Ditmas Avenue, next to the Bay Ridge Line (There's actually a siding for the place next to the garage). 3) Another school bus one in Lindel Hill, on Metropolitan Avenue and Woodward Avenue, and across the toxic creek from Grand Avenue (Near Grand Avenue Depot). 4) Around the same area as 3), on 56th Drive between 58th Street and Maurice Avenue. All I see are small school buses. 5) One in Willets Point, between 34th Avenue and Northern Blvd. I see some coach buses on Earth from the above view, but primarily school buses. 6) One in Hunts Point, near Oak Point Yard and on Oak Point Avenue, for school buses. 7) One in New Jersey, near Journal Square, on Newark Avenue and Charlotte Avenue, next to PATH. Again, I see school buses only. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GojiMet86 Posted March 22, 2013 Share #5988 Posted March 22, 2013 The Van Hools are the 600s, and the 300s are the MCI 102-DL3s, so it seems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metro CSW Posted March 22, 2013 Share #5989 Posted March 22, 2013 If anyone has any info they'd like to relay, I'd be able to add it on. The Van Hools are 2005-06 models, if you can.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo19 Posted March 22, 2013 Share #5990 Posted March 22, 2013 The Van Hools are 2005-06 models, if you can.... No problem. It's done, for now anyway. I know there is a shitload of MCI's missing, as well as the few that are up there are lacking info. Maybe in the future I'll get around to adding some general info like depots and fleets but it suffices enough. Also, if anyone finds the wiki awkward to read because the way retired and active fleets are grouped together, I do as well. Don't know why pages are like this (other than keeping unit numbers consecutive) but it'll do for now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted March 22, 2013 Share #5991 Posted March 22, 2013 What a day so far. I got some a.m. school tripper action in before work this morning. Caught 6055 on the S74/56 school tripper at the Eltingville Transit Center (runs along the S74 to Woodrow Road and Rossville Avenue, then along the S56 to Tottenville High School) and then caught 6330 on the S55 to Wendy Drive. Heading to my evening job, I caught 920 on the B16 (the 3:50 school tripper out of Fort Hamilton High School) at Fourth Avenue and 86th Street, and rode it to 36th Street. Then I caught 847 on the regular B16 at 12th Avenue and 36th Street and rode it to Prospect Park. THEN I caught 868 on the B43 and rode it to Nostrand Avenue and headed to work. All in all, a good day so far, especially with the three 1999/2000 New Flyer C40LFs in a row. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted March 22, 2013 Share #5992 Posted March 22, 2013 you can find 903 and 923 on the 2:55 trippers(there are 8 or 9 that leave between 2:55 and 3:10)on the 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted March 22, 2013 Share #5993 Posted March 22, 2013 You must mean the 3:00 trippers. Fort Hamilton has four intervals for their buses: 2:10, 3:00, 3:50 and 3:55 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted March 23, 2013 Share #5998 Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) So how many of the JFK-assigned D60s are actually there? As far as I've heard 5252 made one trip from KB to Eastchester and that's been it's only trip. Not the case?

Just 5494 and 5502. 5475 is being worked on at Zerega, 5493 at Far Rock, the other two at Eastchester. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted March 23, 2013 Share #6000 Posted March 23, 2013 Ah, got it. 5113 is an absolute monster, anybody ridden that recently? My op on the B1 was racing with that thing, fastest RTS I've ever taken by far. Also, talk about the MTA losing money, I just got off a midday x27 that was exactly on schedule with there only two people on that brand new Prevost--and one of them was me. Not a good model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
