Acela Express Posted April 7, 2012 Share #1177 Posted April 7, 2012 Boarded 9594 yesterday evening on the B46. Is it me or that bus has no power/suspension. SMFH. As I originally posted about a week ago - no f*cking power man. I couldn't stick and move the way I normally do on Utica and just gave up after Eastern Parkway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted April 7, 2012 Share #1178 Posted April 7, 2012 Rode 4946 on the B25 today, even though it hasn't been overhauled that bus is in perfect shape mechanically. Thing just flies. Like a lot of ENY buses, looks awful, runs incredible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User Posted April 7, 2012 Share #1179 Posted April 7, 2012 I went to the auto show today. I saw two MTA Bus operators there, don't know if they are on this forum. They both had MTA sweaters on and one had a hat from Kingsbridge depot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted April 7, 2012 Share #1180 Posted April 7, 2012 I don't want to get too o/t, but anything good at the auto show? Bugatti Veyron or something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future ENY OP Posted April 7, 2012 Share #1181 Posted April 7, 2012 Does Jamaica And ENY have a split for the B15 , becuase A NG 46xx was signed up as the B15 at JFK today around 2:20 pm No sir.. Probably the operator was playing with the destination sign... ENY doesn't have any splits with queens division routes in JAM/QV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S78 via Hylan Posted April 8, 2012 Share #1183 Posted April 8, 2012 The Q31 ooerates out of CS right? I could have sworn it was JAM. Yes, the Q31 is out of CS. That reminds me, on Friday I rode 671 in the Q32 from Penn Station to Queens. That was the first time (technically the second) the I rode that route. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Via Garibaldi 8 Posted April 8, 2012 Share #1184 Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) I don't want to get too o/t, but anything good at the auto show? Bugatti Veyron or something? LOL... A Bugatti Veyron... LOL... I doubt they would make one just for display seeing how many parts are made by hand for the Bugatti. Not worth it when they specialize in custom made orders for the very wealthy. Those cars run a good $1 million dollars and up and take months to make. Edited April 8, 2012 by Via Garibaldi 8 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the dealer on 11th ave. brought it. There was a Veyron there last year too. Edited April 9, 2012 by MHV9218 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing the Ford GT a few years ago, not that was a cool car. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted April 9, 2012 Share #1187 Posted April 9, 2012 Just had 662 on the Q32...I love old O5s and all, but that thing was on the crutches it got when its last legs fell off. B/O was thrashing it like crazy and whenever he hit the brakes there was this terrible crunching, sounded halfway between gears gnashing and that noise you get on the R142s when they brake too hard, sorta deep noise, not a squeak. Hard to describe it but it sure didn't sound good, luckily the DD50 was still running really strong. Also had 5880 on the M101, I could get used to that. I'm a big fan of the LFSA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the what you are describing, it sounds like the breaks just needed replacing. Did you hear any squeaks in the same area? Other than those, most of those old 600's are pretty damn good. I'm also digging the LFSA's on Lex. Av.!!!! Im just ready to see them on the B44! Then I will have an excuse not to use the Train! It's pathetic that they're still running those things on the Q32 or anywhere else for that matter. They gotta run them somewhere! lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I know what you're talking about. I hear this noise on O5's a lot. Does it sound like the R142A breaking sounds? If it does than I heard of it. Its on a lot of O5's, most of the 6000's I rode have that sound. It's pathetic that they're still running those things on the Q32 or anywhere else for that matter. Ok, then lets run them on express bus routes. Edited April 10, 2012 by Casey Stengel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd squeak until it got down to around five mph, and then from there till stopping the entire rear of the bus (it was the area above the rear axle) would shake real violently while the brakes made that crunching noise, never actually experienced that on an MTA bus before. Oh yeah, waiting for those to bad boys to finally hit up Flatbush, even if we're well into 2013 by then. The B44 (and the B41!) need artics, and those LFSAs are good stuff.

Its on a lot of O5's, most of the 6000's I rode have that sound. Yeah my best description is when the R142As have been braking for a while and then there's this low noise, I'll try to find a video, only thing is that the bunch shook with it which threw me. Edit: like the noise in this video CS did, with a lot of shaking as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foTwXY4r9V8 Edited April 10, 2012 by MHV9218 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted April 10, 2012 Share #1192 Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) The people who expect every bus ever to stop at a clearly marked stop (as Vittorio mentioned) are also the people who try to get on a packed bus only to get pissed when the bus operator rolls away.

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted April 10, 2012 Share #1193 Posted April 10, 2012 They gotta run them somewhere! lol lol... The funny thing is you know they're old but some of them are in much better shape the Orions on Staten Island. Certainly cleaner I find overall. I was one on Friday on the Q32 that was tolerable which was surprising. Ok, then lets run them on express bus routes. Ha-ha... Very funny Mr. Stengel. The people who expect every bus ever to stop at a clearly marked stop (as Vittorio mentioned) are also the people who try to get on a packed bus only to get pissed when the bus operator rolls away. They have no concept of anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz Posted April 10, 2012 Share #1196 Posted April 10, 2012 You know what really grinds my gears?? Old people...not in general. I'm talking about the ones that will get on an empty bus and go right past the "elderly and disabled" seats in the front to sit down in the single seats and block the aisle with their walker, or their shopping cart, or their million shopping bags. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a second, but I wouldn't move towards it like I'd have a chance of getting on. I'm referring to the people who move towards the door as if they're going to get on a crowded, filled beyond capacity bus and then get pissed after the bus operator pulls away.

checkmatechamp13 Posted April 10, 2012 Share #1198 Posted April 10, 2012 I do that all the time (though not lately since I haven't had to deal with the S46 in the mornings for a while). My motto is there's always space in the back. I'm not going to be late because you're too lazy to move back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not following here. You're angry that people who have waited a long time for a bus are trying to get on and are disappointed if they can't? Bus riders can be royal pains, but that's a completely legitimate thing to be annoyed about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
