I can confirm this move as I just spoke to a few sources I know from LGA. Starting on Sunday, LGA will lose the Q29 and the Q72 to CP to help with LGA's shortage (to cut down the number of buses needed)

 

And it will be using LGA drivers, right?

So 4899 towed to the vendor yesterday morning & got its fare box removed.. Don't know if its being re powered just yet.. If transit would wake up & smell the coffee & buy the actual transmission that goes with the MaxxForce engine then everything would go smooth. They're using a powerful truck engine - a weak ass transmission. Those 2 don't get along..

For my recap of the Metro North Shuttle bus, here's what I got:

 

College Point sent out Orion V CNG #9871, some C40LF's, and some D4500CL's

Michael J.Quill sent out RTS', Next Gens, and a few Nova LFSA's including ones used for their SBS

Jamaica sent RTS #4936

Queens Village sent out some D4500CT's

Gun Hill sent out Next Gens

Kingsbridge sent out D60HF's, XD60's, Next Gens, and a Orion V

West Farms sent out only C40LF's

Fresh Pond came with some Next Gens

Jackie Gleason came with new C40LF's

East New York had an RTS, but left.

Grand Avenue had a Next Gen running

Hell, LaGuardia had a D4500CL running for a while

 

Sorry if I gave too much information.

This driver is really starting to annoy me.  Second time in two weeks that he's picked up someone at a drop-off only stop. The first time a handicapped lady was trying to get off and she couldn't even get off with her cane because he was so busy worrying about the Bx10 passengers.   <_< Tonight I'm trying to get off and this guy comes out of nowhere trying to get on and yet again he's busy trying to pick him up. The next time that happens I'm going to knock the individual right on the floor. It's drop-off only for a reason.  Paying passengers have to fight their way off the damn bus because this guy is so busy trying to pick up people. Jerk.  <_<

Just tell the operator you're opinion. If that doesn't work give him an earful he won't forget, LMAO!

Thoughts like that are better kept off here for your own sake, especially if you're considering reporting the B/O. Constant ranting like that is why people think of you as a B/O basher. Just saying...

Hell I'd be pissed off as well. Sounds like the operator is giving some preferential treatment.

I'm not saying I agree or don't agree with him. I'm just saying there's basically an internet defense squad on here that gets very easily pissed and will quickly call people "B/O bashers"... a lot of times with good reason.

People are going to have opinions about me regardless.  I personally don't care what people think.  He's creating a dangerous situation encouraging people to get on as people are trying to get off.  There's one door to enter from and exit from.  Let people exit the bus.  Now if someone gets hurt he has no one to blame but himself because these people should not be boarding.
