Grand Concourse Posted October 10, 2013 Share #9430 Posted October 10, 2013 9168 on the Q35 today, the ride was just terrible (made odd jerking type movements). On the flip side, B41 on the way home was smooth and the driver was flooring it, great ride. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BM5 via Woodhaven Posted October 11, 2013 Share #9432 Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) * To our Q38 riders There's a new fall 2013 schedule for the Q38 , with both major, and minor revampments to the schedule Weekdays: One minor Adjustment on some buses traveling between 69 street and the Queens Center Mall. Saturdays: Corona bound buses: Run times enlargened from 35 minutes to 38-49 minutes all day Buses will get an extra minute of runtime between 108 and 63 Drive, as well as an extra minute between Dry Harbor Road and the Middle Village train station. Depending on the time of day, the time alloted may have increased by one minute between 69 street and the Queens Center Mall. 4-6 extra minutes were alloted between Queens Center Mall and the terminal in Corona (used to be 5 minutes to only get there , now 11 minutes, even though it was never 5 minutes). Forest Hills Bound Buses: Buses depart 15 minutes earlier the Corona Terminal; Buses from 6:30 AM to 10:50 AM departing Corona will now arrive at the opposite terminal in 38-43 minutes instead of 45 minutes; Buses from 11:10 AM to 2:10 PM departing Corona will now arrive at the opposite terminal in 53-55 minutes instead of 45-56 minutes. Buses from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM will now arrive at the opposite terminal in 61-62 minutes, instead of 43-54 minutes. After 5:50 PM, all buses will have 40-44 minutes of runtime compared to 43-45 minutes. One Minute is reduced and up to one minute is added to run time between QCM at 69 street. One or Two Minutes were reduced between 69 street and the train station. 3 minutes were reduced and up to 4 minutes were added between Dry Harbor and 63 Drive, and between the train and Dry Harbor, 2 minutes were added and up to 5 minutes were. 50% more travel time is alloted between 63 Drive and Forest Hills (used to be 3 minutes, now 6 minutes) Sundays: 15 minute changes in bus schedule Forest Hills Bound only, and 4-7 more minutes is given per run.

Grand Concourse Posted October 11, 2013 Share #9434 Posted October 11, 2013 most of the JFK RTS rides terrible tbh (not to bring out a negative comment), even the front and back look ripped Well being that they are 2nd hand buses, it could be the depot 'not giving a damn'. As it is 'not their problem anymore'. And of course JFK I dunno, I kinda have to give them a slight pass because they are overworked dealing with FR on top of their own fleet. But then again it was Gangrene lines... and it was among the worst with Trihoror lines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted October 11, 2013 Share #9438 Posted October 11, 2013 5237 running on the M5, but its doing full route. That was just a short turn to 14th but the op put in the wrong sign. No Quill buses (or 126 buses, for that matter) have run the whole M5 route. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Via Garibaldi 8 Posted October 11, 2013 Share #9439 Posted October 11, 2013 That was just a short turn to 14th but the op put in the wrong sign. No Quill buses (or 126 buses, for that matter) have run the whole M5 route. Why are there so many M5 short turns? I've never seen one to 14th street. The only thing I can think of is too much bunching going on because those M5's sometimes run 3-4 in a pack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupojohn Posted October 11, 2013 Share #9440 Posted October 11, 2013 I'm on BusTime and there's only 1 bus(6770) on the M106. I know it's a crosstown, but still, that's ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted October 11, 2013 Share #9441 Posted October 11, 2013 Well, you're probably thinking of the M5 southbound, of which very few turn at 14th (9th St.--which is really 8th--and Chambers are much more common). Northbound, the short turns are almost all extra runs or put-ins from Quill meant to supplement subway service from Chambers to 14th. The usual route is SF to 14th, and then a bus will either DH down the WSH back to SF or take 5th and Bway in service downtown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a momentary glitch. BusTime show 3 out there now. Yeah I finally saw one to Chambers the other night. Are these random runs as opposed to actually being on the schedule or what? Don't know about random, but they're definitely not scheduled. M5 runs are also 2xx on the runbox, but these put-ins are all X-pieces or 5xx; in plain English, they're all put-ins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of this added service and ridership is plummeting on the line. They would be better off just putting the M6 back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would be better off just putting the M6 back. I know I had no problems with the M1 to SF and the M6 local. The lack of a Limited on 6th Ave annoys the shit out of me, and M5 service only got worse with the extension. Likewise, the M1 is now just a pointless duplication of the M3 and M2 (when local) for some 105 blocks. I tend to be against put-ins in the first place, partially because it drives me nuts when a bus short-turns since I'm at the end of a few routes, and partially because it's a band-aid fix on a larger problem. At least send a full run. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted October 11, 2013 Share #9447 Posted October 11, 2013 What's a deadhead? It's any amount of travel not in service either from depot-route, route-depot, route-route, whathaveyou. It's when an operator's paid to drive with the lights out, basically, hence why it's often known as running dark (or, ironically, running light). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E For Erica Posted October 12, 2013 Share #9450 Posted October 12, 2013 Was on an RTS B38 today (9519 GA Depot) and tons of passangers get on at DeKalb and Marcus Garvey. Then I look out the window and see an empty Orion V not moving or anything. I guess it was a break down. That's like the third one GA had with Orion Vs right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
