Cait Sith Posted February 16, 2014 Share #11176 Posted February 16, 2014 There is a C40LF (323 I think) on the Bx19. It happens, often times you'll see some 40fters on the Bx19. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted February 17, 2014 Share #11177 Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) What I never understood with the B6 Limited, EVERY local stop from Bensonhurst to Ave J station is a Limited Stop. But when I see the B82 Limited, its Bath Ave, 86st, Kings Highway. The B6 Limited has like 7-8 stops from Bath Ave to Kings Highway. If the Limited goes back to ENY would those extra stops be removed? Im just asking because I didnt know this route until Oct 2013.

Fresh Pond Posted February 17, 2014 Share #11178 Posted February 17, 2014 Everything before Avenue J/Coney Island Av on the B6 is a local stop when the limiteds are running. Its been like that ever since the B6 became a limited 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Pond Posted February 18, 2014 Share #11184 Posted February 18, 2014 And people say those things are slow.... I told you guys, them things MOVE! To be fair, there have been a few I've been on that was capped so low it's ridiculous. Over the summer I was going to my niece's birthday party and I had to take the S53 there. We get on the bridge and then everyone starts passing us...didn't think nothing of it until an S79 aired us out...badly. I was standing near the front (I usually don't sit on them buses if I can't get to the back row since that's basically the only spot where I can fit lol) and I look at the speedometer and we doing 30. It was bad enough to the point where he had the hazards on across the bridge lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the Castleton units are up there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFlyer 230 Posted February 19, 2014 Share #11189 Posted February 19, 2014 How are those LFS doing? Seems their all in Queens all isolated, no signs of an LFS. They are good, I think pretty much most of the LFS's received the updated destination sign. I still wished we that the XD40's and Orion 3G's over here. It was fun riding on the Q88 from the mall over the highway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYSubwayBuff Posted February 20, 2014 Share #11190 Posted February 20, 2014 Random thought: why are there more express buses out of Manhattan than into Manhattan. A fine example would be the qm21 which runs qllthe way till 9 pm from nyc while to the city, inbound service ends around 9 am 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fine example would be the qm21 which runs qllthe way till 9 pm from nyc while to the city, inbound service ends around 9 am The QM21 used to have service to Manhattan from 3 PM to 7 PM every hour as well, and I guess the few QM21's at night to Queens contain a combination of regulars and X63 riders as well, since the X63 stops running at around 7:30 PM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my XT1034 using Tapatalk It's been like that for a while, from what I remember (I saw it like 2-3 weeks ago or something). It is very interesting though, given how MTA bus doesn't put front ads at all (the only buses with front ads IIRC come from NYCT), and we have this. Could just be one oddball, or may be something new. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GojiMet86 Posted February 20, 2014 Share #11198 Posted February 20, 2014 Very random thought, but would the MTA taking a look at those ECOCoaches that NJT make sense? Or perhaps later, in like 10 to 15 years have the MTA purchase CNG coaches for CP and SC? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, Designline was originally in the running for the EXP bus order, but was eliminated because of the lack of experience they've had in building such things(this will be the same going for EPV). They'll likely stick with MCI, assuming that it will be a non-competitive bid. Also, CNG coaches wouldnt make much sense having, you only have two places to move them around, meanwhile, every other depot is shuffling around buses for mileage and other reasons.
