GojiMet86 Posted March 2, 2014 Share #11301 Posted March 2, 2014 BusTime was showing an Orion VII NG HLF on the S1115, or the South Ferry Shuttle from Chambers Street, a few minutes ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted March 2, 2014 Share #11302 Posted March 2, 2014 There's hundreds of MCI/Prevost buses running around...those days are dead and done Well, local buses (diesels) appear on occasion on the expresses, so they aren't completely over, but as long as the CNG's don't run on the expresses, I'm good (or as long as I don't get an RTS on the QM24). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeesPwnMets Posted March 2, 2014 Share #11303 Posted March 2, 2014 Why are they putting chains on the buses so early? I thought that you shouldn't be using chains on dry pavement... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo19 Posted March 2, 2014 Share #11304 Posted March 2, 2014 Out of curiosity, does anyone know the length of the wheelchair lifts of the Orion Vs when deployed? How much room on the street would one of these need to fold out?

NYSubwayBuff Posted March 3, 2014 Share #11305 Posted March 3, 2014 Why are they putting chains on the buses so early? I thought that you shouldn't be using chains on dry pavement... I think it's because if it starts snowing earlier and the bus doesn't have a chance to go to the depot to get chained up, the bus is prepared Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culver Posted March 3, 2014 Share #11306 Posted March 3, 2014 Serious Question: Do the chains actually make a positive difference for these things weighing 30,000 pounds? At that point, on a 40-footer, if you're losing traction I don't think it's an issue where chains are gonna help. I've been on them with chains and without during the first snowstorm back in January (guess Ulmer didn't get em all chained up in time), and the only "advantage" offered by the chains was awful rattling and low speed limit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In deep snow, yes. Also a lot more predictability to travel, fewer quick jacknifes of artics. 6785 running for Manhattanville today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted March 4, 2014 Share #11308 Posted March 4, 2014 I would appreciate this sign program more if they actually terminated at the LIRR station. Should've just left it as Sutphin Blvd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFlyer 230 Posted March 4, 2014 Share #11311 Posted March 4, 2014 I can't believe some LFS still have that ugly destination font. I saw 8088 and I was like oh they are around. I can't believe 5141 still has JG stickers on it. On the side the Jamaica sticker is peeling off and you can see it. That bus has been at JA for a while I wonder when it left JG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BxM4Woodlawn Posted March 4, 2014 Share #11313 Posted March 4, 2014 the fastest buses around were those MCI Classics. I sure as hell miss those hot rods cruisin down the Deegan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if the whole front was smashed then it will be scrapped since that bus is 14 years old. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B36 Via Ave U Posted March 5, 2014 Share #11322 Posted March 5, 2014 The B6 is at UP right now, right? You are correct and the damage to 5122 is minuscule so it'll be back soon. It's a pretty powerful bus as when I rode it last. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyer 230 Posted March 5, 2014 Share #11323 Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) I thought it was 5145 but I forgot which one because 5141 was right behind it. It has a JA sticker on top of it that has almost peeled off. The bus with the Jackie Gleason stickers is 5145.

They always discharge at Sutphin Blvd, same goes for the 31 and 43. 146 is a block west of Sutphin. What I don't understand is why can't the Q25, 30, 31, 34, 43 and 65 say the same thing. Same for the short-turned Q6 and 60's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for the short-turned Q6 and 60's. The funny thing is that the 25/34/65 are the only routes along with the Archer Avenue Q60 that terminate at the spots they say they do on the signs. Don't know much about the Q6. Though I have a question. When did they change the routing on the Q60 for it to go via Jamaica Avenue?
