BUS - Random Thoughts Thread


Recommended Posts

When I search up Kissena Blvd on Wikipedia, I manage to find this as the picture

Some of those Orion V apparently ran for College Point. I wonder why that happened.

 

These are from that wikipedia page (by Adam, of course):

5605 on the M116 right now

 

Not surprised, you'll always find an artic there since the line is mostly 126 with Mannyville trippers. I just wonder if they ever happen to throw the luggage rack buses on the line.

Service increase on some lines+a small shortage in buses that caused these, Orion V 304 and another Orion V to operate out of College Point.

That's awesome. So much for those stupid NIMBYS' attempt to block the SBS. M60 really needed it because 125 Street is congested as hell.

Is this the Murder-the-XD40s campaign?

Exactly he wants those buses ran down to the ground. If there were ever a swap I would first send them to either Fresh Pond or Grand Avenue before sending them to any other bourough. ENY doesn't believe in having buses look good with their XD40's having many places where the paint is missing and I only saw one C40LF with that problem.

They have a lot of power left in them and besides the (MTA) needs them at this time.

Yeah I know. I just wish they could can them already.  I think from my experiences on Staten Island with those buses (filthy, duct tape on the handlebars and lack of AC) that I have an extreme dislike of them.  If they were better maintained I would probably have a different view of them.

They are not the way they use to be. Now these buses are constantly getting swapped so they all look the same. There are still a few good units at CS, ECH,KB and GH.

I heard that they would be gone by the end of the year. But I agree that Orion 5 buses are the worst. They look like a dead whale pulled from a giant trash can and they make annoying sounds when they pull out of a bus stop. And now I have to see those disgusting, filthy buses on the B13 which is one of my home routes.
