Grand Concourse Posted April 13, 2013 Share #6351 Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) I wonder which batch of the xd40s are having the most problems now: the batch that came from SI or the ones that never left UP? Smh about the xd60 with the front end damage. Should've sent those buses to quill and FB... Give the Bronx the Novas, IMO.

Wow...i really dont like days like those...especially when the stop request system doesnt work (Staten Island Orion Vs) and when drivers wanna stroll down the streets. Mann that gets me so tight i wanna scream "go faster stop driving so f***ing slow!" Edited April 13, 2013 by XcelsiorBoii4888 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mann that gets me so tight i wanna scream "go faster stop driving so f***ing slow!" Yea man, 983 has to go sadly, that bus is at death row through and through, and on 4817 oh my g-d, but the driver on 6581 did explain that 3 buses broke down on the B82 today, 9070's wheelchair lift broke, 4822 had an issue and another bus had a cracked windshield so that all adds up. And yea I was that close to screaming that on 4950, but all in all it was a productive day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrivera Posted April 14, 2013 Share #6356 Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Damn, I'm looking up the Bx12 SBS on the desktop Bustime and over half of the buses running now aren't even the ones wrapped in the SBS scheme (1200-1232). One of them isnt even an LFS (5506) Mind you, this is on a Saturday two months before beach season. During the week, they also send out a couple of XD60's on SBS service. For a line that's supposed to have dedicated buses, that line sure has some variety... In no particular order: Unwrapped LFSA's out: 580853185323531657975801 D60HF in SBS service: 5506 Wrapped LFSA's out: 1211123012321218122612151220 Edited April 14, 2013 by paulrivera 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the other wrapped Nova Artics were unavailable to make service, so they sent something else out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice change from all these D60's we got up here... Of course i do I want a bus with more forward forward facing seats than inward facing ones. I mean even on the novas, they could've at least had the rear section be 2x2 seating instead of one side be a bench seating. I dunno why the MTA requested the design to be like what it is currently... Edited April 14, 2013 by Grand Concourse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BreeddekalbL Posted April 14, 2013 Share #6362 Posted April 14, 2013 They had shuttles running... obviously so i guess they had to compete with the shuttle services 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo19 Posted April 14, 2013 Share #6363 Posted April 14, 2013 obviously so i guess they had to compete with the shuttle services I guess, if you call that competition. Seriously,if everyone bombarded the B39 those who truly needed the route would be screwed as the one run on the route would be mondo delayed. Such a logtistical nightmare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted April 14, 2013 Share #6364 Posted April 14, 2013 i wonder was the b39 busy since there was no service over the bridge? They had shuttles running... Not only that, but folks were LEAVING from the Shuttle line to get the B39 because of how many buses were loading passengers...twas quite funny! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For real? So how f**ked up was the actual schedule on the B39, or was that tossed out the window? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't they hand out those pink slips then for an extra transfer and make some riders use the B39 instead of using the current amount of shuttle buses (I don't mean to stop running shuttle bus, if that's where you're thinking of). I'm talking about there being a gap in shuttle bus service every 30 minutes. Like for example lets say the buses run every 5 minutes, then the schedule from Willy-B would be at :05, :10, :15, :20, :25, :35, :40, :45, :50, :55, and then back to :05 , or if the bus shuttles are every 10 minutes (typical) then run then at :10, :20, :40, :50, and then back to :10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted April 14, 2013 Share #6367 Posted April 14, 2013 The shuttle was a mess yesterday, never seen it so bad. All the buses crushloaded, lots of buses bunched together on the bridge. Really should have gone well considering Broadway got closed off to be a special bus lane and FB even sent artics, but it was still a mess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong (because I don't feel like checking out the exact details of the GO), but wouldn't those shuttles basically run the same route as the B39? Was the shutdown just between Essex & Marcy or what? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some folks (at least from the Manhattan side) used those as transfers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRG Posted April 15, 2013 Share #6374 Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) 2737 was on the S55 this morning. It did a school tripper from the Transit Center to Wendy Drive. I'm going to the Transit Center early tomorrow and see if I catch it. It left the same time it did on Friday when an MCI ran on the S55 as well. If a Prevost ran on the S55 I would be no good at all!!! Edited April 15, 2013 by LRG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
