SevenEleven Posted July 2, 2013 Share #7701 Posted July 2, 2013 The XD60's air conditioning is the greatest thing since the D60HF's. I can see why the Gun Hill B/O's seemingly don't like/don't want(?) to take out the 1200 LFSA's on the SBS Bx12. I actually wouldnt mind if they returned 1200-1289 back to Nova. The HVACs in the Xcelsiors are different from the ones in the majority of the LFSAs. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 4 Beta 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Culver Posted July 2, 2013 Share #7704 Posted July 2, 2013 So what? That's like saying parts of the Bronx have the and the so therefore their transportation needs are met, even though apparently the and the run like sh*t, hence one reason the BxM11 runs parallel to the but gets good usage. Same thing with the . It runs like sh*t and that's why the X28 is needed because it provides a quick alternative and is used well. And? Yeah, the buses get used. Good. The more people use them the better, as that means more bang for the buck in terms of running them. Your point being? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted July 2, 2013 Share #7705 Posted July 2, 2013 Im not gonna fuel the express bus vs subway discussions further, but I will say this, if there's an express route near me, and if I don't mind spending an extra dollar for bus fare (yes, I have two express in my area) or Im in a hurry to get to the city, I will take the express. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop being in denial that the runs like sh*t and that just because a neighborhood has a subway line then that automatically means that their transportation needs are met. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can't be your point since I don't think the is great. It gets the job done, though. It's worst moments are the drop-outs at 59 St during rushours. Otherwise, for the ridership it gets (and the amount of trains they can squeeze into 60th street tube), headways are OK. And yes, it'll be ok when the Montague tube gets closed. Dekalb, etc... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, it'll be ok when the Montague tube gets closed. Dekalb, etc... Well the headways have never been the issue. If I were to look at the schedule I'd say the runs relatively average with most trains in the system. Unfortunately the schedule is just that... A schedule, because the trains show up whenever they want and the waits are terribly long, whether you're in Brooklyn or Manhattan. I can remember waiting on numerous occasions for an eternity at Whitehall or at 59th or 86th for a train. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious2train Posted July 3, 2013 Share #7721 Posted July 3, 2013 I had a bus driver on the M3 who would occasionally go into a store at 110 St and 5 Av. That stop is a timepoint, and there's usually a dispatcher there, so I guess he okays it. Buses usually end up early (like a good 5 or so mins early) or bunching or whatnot. I do ride after the end of AM Rush where lots of buses are heading back uptown (all in service) so I guess it's not terribly difficult for buses to end up early. I do wish the schedule would be revised to reflect this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he was cruising most of the ride...and he was an aggressive driver...honking...running lights...psssing stops...and tailgating..mann i hatee that B/O!

I do wish the schedule would be revised to reflect this. The schedules are not that good for some routes. The run time on the BxM18 is quite excessive, so they have to sit and wait otherwise they'll be early. Could be that way purpose to allow for transfers in some cases but I'm not sure.

XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted July 3, 2013 Share #7724 Posted July 3, 2013 Its pretty much the B/Os faults...they think they own the bus and can do whatever they please...and the main thing...if your a B/O and your running early...stay moving fast...drive normal...because if you sit at a stop until your due time...then traffic comes...then your running late and it all goes downhill... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um.... Running hot is a big no no... If they're early they're supposed to wait. That's a big pet peeve of mine. I had a BxM1 do that a few Saturdays ago. He was due to leave the first stop before I got to my stop and I still managed to miss him because he left the terminal early. He also wasn't on Bus Time either but I saw the bus as I was walking to the stop so it must've been him. I had to wait over an hour for the next bus. I was pissed and I made sure I wrote in too. I called the depot and they're talking oh you have to wait. I said to myself this guy must think I'm an idiot. I know that B/O came early and now I'm stuck here waiting for an over an hour because the BxM2 by that time I had already come already so walking over to get that wasn't an option either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
