Orion VII 4 Life Posted December 5, 2013 Share #10126 Posted December 5, 2013 What depots ate typically used for mnr shuttles? What depots are typically used for lirr shuttles to penn,what about to Atlantic Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk now Free Anything that they can get is used in emergencies. Planned work uses typically the closest MTA Bus (occasionally TA as well) depots or outside contractors the MTA has on standby (usually shuttles further out from the city are more likely to be run by the contractors). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion VII 4 Life Posted December 5, 2013 Share #10128 Posted December 5, 2013 I see so they shuttle in whatever mta bus depot they can use Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk now Free NYCT is used in most emergencies and even planned work, planned work uses MTA Bus mostly though. The derailment the other day brought out buses from both NYCT and MTA Bus and from as far out as SI! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they're very much by the book at Yonkers. My B/O buddy had a problem with his window and he called it in. They took his bus and had another one for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacemak3r Posted December 6, 2013 Share #10133 Posted December 6, 2013 So this was last night...walking home from the Avenue U stop and while walking 7 B3's pass by going the other direction. Sigh I couldn't catch a break walking home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojiMet86 Posted December 6, 2013 Share #10134 Posted December 6, 2013 3915 has a small ass font on the back. Also, since when do NGs have that silver bar on the front and top? I never actually realized it until now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never actually realized it until now. Since always... Some of them may have been painted white though. The small font is supposedly due to the Airline ads on those buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the lack of available correct standard Helvetica font number decal stickers which I don't know why they don't mass produce enough for available repainted buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I originally thought too... I also don't understand why they can't produce 8's correctly. It's always in bold for some odd reason when they repaint and renumber the buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitz Posted December 6, 2013 Share #10138 Posted December 6, 2013 3110 just got road called for a broken wiper. Amazing how something so small can be so important. If the driver would have hit something/somebody in this rain, they would have pinned it completely on him for not calling the broken wiper it....... ***just found out that the BYD bus will be coming back after they make a few NYCTA inspired changes... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. Don't get me wrong, the op was in the right, but pretty funny seeing a full bus of passengers empty out for a wiper. Interesting about the BYD... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo19 Posted December 6, 2013 Share #10141 Posted December 6, 2013 Nice to see BYD staying in the running for now. On an unrelated note, anyone plan on fanning the X23/24 while the routes are at Atlantic? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was making a roster based on pics and observations, so I might as well try and find as many of those coaches as possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted December 7, 2013 Share #10144 Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) Grand Avenue's fleet age averages to 12.5 years old. Considering buses are meant to be retired after 12 years in general, that's pretty impressive. Ulmer touches in at 12.1 years old on average for the locals. For reference, even "stepchild" LGA's local fleet averages to 10.2 years old. The winner, however, is Eastchester, whose local fleet is 14.7 years old on average.

LGA has too many 17 year old buses(RTS) so of course their fleet is going to have problems. ECH needs at 25 buses so I wouldn't be suprised if convert Orion VII's from BP and or JFK go to them when they get their new order of artic buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted December 7, 2013 Share #10148 Posted December 7, 2013 On the express in from the Bronx. Metrocard gave a free transfer from the 1, which seems oddly generous. I still think this is a crazy luxury compared to the train, but damn if luxury isn't pleasant... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
