lupojohn Posted October 2, 2013 Share #9326 Posted October 2, 2013 I was wondering if there was a way to track certain drivers' schedules. I rode with a very friendly driver on the BxM3 from Yonkers to Midtown. He even said "I may see you again" and he gave me his badge number. I also saw the driver that took me up to Yonkers the other day downtown. He was on the same line(BxM3). I even e-mailed the MTA with a commendation for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Yonkers drivers get moved around a lot and usually on purpose so that they don't get too comfortable with other B/O's or with the groupies up front. It's a management thing from what I hear, but the depot is so small that if you ride the lines enough you'll get some of them regularly. I certainly do. The other issues with that depot is a lot of drivers get fired. A lot of rude ones out of Yonkers so it's a revolving door. I can always tell when a bunch have been fired by the tons of new faces I see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4P3607 Posted October 2, 2013 Share #9331 Posted October 2, 2013 For once the Q60 wasn't packed today. I wonder if they've done anything about the Q58 crowding on School days. (Studying ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupojohn Posted October 3, 2013 Share #9338 Posted October 3, 2013 Does the BxM18 run full time? I hit Google Maps and it only listed times for the late afternoon and early evening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsbridgeviewer382 Posted October 3, 2013 Share #9340 Posted October 3, 2013 The already put signs on stations stating that BusTime for Manhattan buses will come out this month, but there's no exact day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Via Garibaldi 8 Posted October 3, 2013 Share #9341 Posted October 3, 2013 The already put signs on stations stating that BusTime for Manhattan buses will come out this month, but there's no exact day. They're probably either testing it now OR in the process. They wouldn't put that up unless it was starting really soon. I would think they'll test the system for a few weeks and then see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted October 3, 2013 Share #9346 Posted October 3, 2013 Many Quill buses on the M5 today, unfortunately no RTSes or artics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted October 3, 2013 Share #9347 Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) 5209, wtf? I thought they were all returned back to nyct? = artic 5485 on the Q35 today, back sign was stuck on the Q22*. Mid afternoon is a waste as everyone could've fit on an OG bus. Imo, they should run during the rush hours when there's a real need for them. Also a bunch of ex-nyct rtss on the Q35. The OG was the minority for a change, thank god! *is this a flaw with the d60hfs? The rear sign isn't in sync with the front one.

MTA Bus Posted October 4, 2013 Share #9349 Posted October 4, 2013 I saw 4500 on the Q9 earlier as well as 9311 on the Q8. I didn't think LGA would loan any buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted October 4, 2013 Share #9350 Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) wait, I rode the Q35 going to the beach last summer (this year, 2013) most were JFK fleet, so I heard artics are on the Q35, do they run them on weekdays or all times?
