NYSubwayBuff Posted November 4, 2013 Share #9801 Posted November 4, 2013 If I use pennies on the bus will it accept them? In the manual for the cubic fare systems it says that all coins are accepted, just because the mta says "no pennies" will the machine accept pennies?

The vending machines certainly don't accept them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've always had 77 buses, so they'll probably keep those in storage if anything. Otherwise folks would certainly make a stink, me included. Those are from 1999... Why aren't they retired anyway??

Oh well, at least if they're on the BxM4, no one will have to worry about anything (as those buses can handle those crowds). It's not retired because it's at Yonkers now, so they'll probably take good care of it.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk now Free Yes. The fareboxes themselves are capable of accepting pennies. It's generally advised against though. You didn't here it from me, but rumor has it if you board with a shitload of pennies the B/O will usually waive you fare while you're inserting the coins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I get a street vendor who I can tell is trying to stick me for extra money, I hand him what I think's fair and I count the rest in pennies. Never had to pay once. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTA Bus Posted November 5, 2013 Share #9812 Posted November 5, 2013 The one day that I don't bring my camera, all the good stuff happens. I saw 2 NGs on the Q43, as well as 2 Bees on the Q113. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anyways, NG's will show up (On the Q88 they feel too old for me, lol) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Kingsbridge claims they've been there for months and I have yet to even see one on any line, let alone ride one. I think they're just keeping them just in case but they're old enough now to be ready to be retired by next year. They came out in 1999. 2014 would be about 15 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see that bus getting fixed up and coming back to service anytime soon. This goes to show you that no bus is safe from a fire incident. Its a 14 year old bus, but even the newest bus in the roster can go through some serious shit like this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Sith Posted November 5, 2013 Share #9818 Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) Lol. They day I move out of Middle Village area... Oh someone's gonna be mad.... There are 2 Old MCI's from Staten Island assigned to Yonkers Depot, the ones with the Green Signs They been there for MONTHS. They are only taken out in case an extra bus is really needed. They've been there for work, they were supposed to be shipped to either Spring Creek, College Point or LaGuardia. They aren't actually assigned to Yonkers for revenue service..... To add onto that, none of the operators out of Yonkers want to operate those old junkers, the 1900s they had just sat there until they retired/eventually sent them to Spring Creek/College Point. ---------------------------------- Caught me off guard so nicely last night, 4705 was on the M15 +Select+ to Houston.
