Around the Horn Posted December 13, 2013 Share #10211 Posted December 13, 2013 2174 was on the X27 but looked like it had a JG sticker on the driver side (It was moving and I thought I saw a gold depot sticker that looked like a JG) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted December 13, 2013 Share #10212 Posted December 13, 2013 3100 (the vintage bus) broke down by 7th, not too sure what happened but it was empty and parked behind a FedEx truck and the FedEx guy was talking to the driver and road ops. No damage to either one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around the Horn Posted December 14, 2013 Share #10217 Posted December 14, 2013 according to the MTA,some artics will be replaced by 40 footers tomorrow because of the snow... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missabassie Posted December 14, 2013 Share #10218 Posted December 14, 2013 Got off the B4 earlier today (bus 4xx) thinking to myself... Who in the bloody hell hatched the bright idea to order those New Flyers with these narrow-ass back doors anyway! I mean more than just functionality, big back doors simply look better. Just a random thought...Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk And don't get me started on those XD60s they look terrible with those narrow doors...

Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk Most new buses have the back doors layed out that way, but that's what the was going for anyway and it works pretty fine from how I experienced it. It has enough room and its easier to use than with the wider ones from the older buses. according to the MTA,some artics will be replaced by 40 footers tomorrow because of the snow... Some routes will, especially on routes that can't handle artics in snow like the Bx9. Other routes with no alternatives will keep using artics with chains on the back wheels. Its always been done that way, but its one of the very few times the actually mentions it in the site. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted December 14, 2013 Share #10220 Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) 5014, 5017, 5027 on the M15 per Bustime. Sounds like we could be seeing 40 footers out on the 15 this weekend, all I can say is WOW. 3883 is also on the M60, a nice flashback. Actually there's 40 footers EVERYWHERE in Manhattan they shouldn't be! All artic routes are running at least 1 40 footer right now. Sh*t!

Blitz Posted December 14, 2013 Share #10222 Posted December 14, 2013 It's because of the snowstorm. Happened at least twice this week: This happens a lot actually. I think it's smart on their part to run standard buses on artic routes at a certain point in the night time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted December 14, 2013 Share #10223 Posted December 14, 2013 It's because of the snowstorm. Happened at least twice this week: Yup I know. Plan's to run as few artics as possible. I've only seen the 40 foot 103 once and that was after Sandy, hell they had a SBS 1200 outta 126 out there too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually there's 40 footers EVERYWHERE in Manhattan they shouldn't be! All artic routes are running at least 1 40 footer right now. Sh*t! Here's what's up: the heavy-use artic routes are staying artic. M14A/D, M15/SBS, M101 -- all artic. The M23, M79, M60, M102, are all running 40-footers, and in fact the Quill ones are almost entirely 40-footers. The Bx1, Bx2 -- all artic; but the Bx9, Bx15, Bx19, all 40-footers, same with the Bx12 local. I've only seen the 40 foot 103 once and that was after Sandy, hell they had a SBS 1200 outta 126 out there too. Sandy was a mess. TU ran (on the 103) Quill LFSAs, Quill D60s, 126 LFSA (SBS and non-SBS), MHV NGs, TU's own OGs...everything.
