Kingsbridgeviewer382 Posted June 26, 2013 Share #7551 Posted June 26, 2013 Um, no it wasn't. It's one of the few Orion Vs in Staten Island with those errors along with a few in Queens(Casey Stengel) and The Bronx(Gun Hill). This bus never saw MTA Bus service along with the many others like 6086 with the same errors. True. The only other ones I know that have that error are 6134 (CS) and 6249 (KB). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted June 26, 2013 Share #7552 Posted June 26, 2013 So it was never at Easchester previously as i assumed? Thanks for the information. Not at all. No problem dude. True. The only other ones I know that have that error are 6134 (CS) and 6249 (KB). Precisely! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsbridgeviewer382 Posted June 26, 2013 Share #7556 Posted June 26, 2013 I saw 3813 on the M60 earlier this morning. Does the M60 have rush hour trippers from MJQ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BreeddekalbL Posted June 26, 2013 Share #7559 Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) I saw 3813 on the M60 earlier this morning. Does the M60 have rush hour trippers from MJQ? what the deuce?! as far is know no it could have been an extra cause someone took a pic of 126 artic doing an m5 run at the begining of the year like this and did you see an x in the run # box like X02? http://www.subchat.com/buschat/readflat.asp?Id=270533 Edited June 26, 2013 by BreeddekalbL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that M60 could very well be an extra. The bus is currently on an M20/M104 run so the possibility of filling an M60 run is not completely off.

Orion VII 4 Life Posted June 26, 2013 Share #7561 Posted June 26, 2013 LaGuardia is sure having fun with those 9800s/9900s lol Had 9899 on the Q72 earlier. I heard they will be retired no later than the end of this week... June 28 I think is when the last of them are due out. Once that happens it will be interesting to see what happens with the LGA CNG situation and whether or not CP will continue to send over buses which would have to be C40s obviously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend says that too, end of June. I don't understand why C40s weren't sent out earlier. They ran them on the JFK lines for about 3 weeks and then occasionally, but these CNGs have been running on the LGA lines for about 4 months. That's a good amount of time to train B/Os on the C40.

JFK is still getting C40s... much less now but I saw one on the Q21 last Friday. I did hear one ran the Q23, so I guess they're training the ops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Lexington this stupid Fedex truck was blocking 1 lane while MTA workers near the 103rd St station was blocking the other.

These UPS and Fedex drivers need to learn that the hazard lights don't give you an excuse to park wherever you want I was close to taking the BxM2 in but didn't feel like running in this heat, so I left later for the BxM1 instead. Wasn't that much better on Lex. Traffic was just horrendous this morning. I didn't care though because I didn't feel like getting off and waiting in a sauna underground for the train so I stayed on and stayed in the AC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFlyer 230 Posted June 26, 2013 Share #7570 Posted June 26, 2013 I'm guessing a C40... like I said that still happens. Is JFK and LGA that short. I'm guessing the RTS's will be staying at JFK when the Q10 is fully converted. What I find hilarious about LGA is that their buses are not that great but their buses are never at CMF or the Vendor. What I don't understand is why give CP a majority of the express routes when they could get more Local routes and possibly down the line get artic buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted June 27, 2013 Share #7571 Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) Doesnt the Q10 make a left turn to 80 Rd then Austin St? b/c i see some Q10s making a right turn to Queens Blvd to pick up passengers from Kews Garden RD Edited June 27, 2013 by Calvin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it has something to do with making service fast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mta B43 Posted June 27, 2013 Share #7573 Posted June 27, 2013 Is SC also gonna retire their Orion V CNGs at the end of June? Btw saw 902 twice today at random on the B43 wasn't expecting that at all lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainmaster5 Posted June 27, 2013 Share #7574 Posted June 27, 2013 Quick Observations; So I'm riding the LIRR westbound this am and between Bethpage and Hicksville I noticed some buses parked at some facility. The buses were painted in NYCT colors, blue and white, so was this some repair facility ? As we approached the junction at Hicksville divide I thought I saw another blue and white bus, N73. I thought NICE painted their buses a different color. After a transfer at Jamaica to a Brooklyn train leaving the Nostrand Ave station I noticed major roadwork on Nostrand Ave around Fulton St which had traffic screwed up. What was that about? Thanks in advance. I remember the old folks telling me "you learn something new every day". Now I'm the old folk and still curious. Carry on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
