Fresh Pond Posted March 7, 2014 Share #11351 Posted March 7, 2014 Wait so they "supposedly" want to make 100 St a TA depot? And wasn't MCH always an OA depot? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFlyer 230 Posted March 7, 2014 Share #11353 Posted March 7, 2014 I noticed on some Jamaica RTS's and Orion VII NG's they play these announcements they you can hear from outside of the bus. They are usually like this. "This is a Q17 local to Jamaica" and then they will say transfers. I heard one on the Q3 saying this is a JFK bound Q3 and said the next stop. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they were suppose to send 126th there when they decide to close the depot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P3F Posted March 8, 2014 Share #11363 Posted March 8, 2014 Man, there are so many buses at E16 and Quentin for the local and express shuttles. I stood there for 10 minutes and counted an average of one bus every 45 seconds going through the intersection. Also, it looks like they dumped all the spare buses onto the shuttles... RTS buses from B2/B7/B31/B82, C40LF from B68/B100, SBS Artics from B44SBS, and Orion V's from god-knows-where. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion VII 4 Life Posted March 8, 2014 Share #11365 Posted March 8, 2014 So the state is here on Division doing surprise inspections on the Chinabuses...let me tell you the Flushing van drivers are freaking out! They have a LuckyStar pulled over right now but there's a guy with a Nextel sitting in front of it I guess talking to the van guys and telling them to stay away, they're picking up around the corner. When they show up the driver SLAMS open the door and I guess says hurry up cause everyone starts running in and they aren't even collecting fares (guess they will when they get off). Goes to show how safe those vans really are, but hey they get you to Flushing in 20 minutes from here so f**k it lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The B1 will have Limited servicr starting April 6th. Source? It's not in the committee meeting materials and things like this usually show up there. There's another meeting Mar 24 but that seems like quite close for an April 6 start. Edited March 8, 2014 by Amtrak7 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted March 8, 2014 Share #11367 Posted March 8, 2014 Those inspectors better not be dumb, they should just walk around the corner.This guy with the Nextel is just gonna tell the other drivers he moved and tell the people waiting where they are now. It's funny they don't notice him, or maybe they're just too focused on checking a brand new shiny LuckyStar Vanhool right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been asking for a B1 Limited for the longest but people denied due to the trains that it run under. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E For Erica Posted March 9, 2014 Share #11374 Posted March 9, 2014 4991 is the shit! It literally sounds like it has ZF transmission. And she taking off right now. I love ENY's Fleet of RTS's. Imma miss the 4900's & 5000's when they leave. I said this like a million times already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
