Culver Posted July 22, 2014 Share #12702 Posted July 22, 2014 Here's my Martin Luther style list of faults with the hyshits: 1) Their shit ISBs vibrate the whole bus like goddamn jackhammers. Almost all of them have this issue where at idle the bus vibrates at a very low, very annoying frequency. It's extra annoying and bad on some of them, rendering any sort of headphones useless. None of the diesel or CNG buses suffer from anything remotely close to this. 2) They're somehow the loudest buses other than RTSes. Smaller engine that runs at mostly stable RPMs, and yet just the plain old engine noise is obnoxious. It's not even a grunty engine noise, it's just a loud drone. 3) They combine the disadvantages of internal combustion and electric propulsion. 4) The low end acceleration is great, and then nothing. Can't wait for real electric buses. Proterra's new 42.5-foot model looks nice, but I doubt it's passing the MTA's shaker test any time soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted July 23, 2014 Share #12703 Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Does the M100 uses both Articulated and Standard buses just like the Bx15 7 days a week? Edited July 23, 2014 by Calvin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojiMet86 Posted July 23, 2014 Share #12704 Posted July 23, 2014 Does the M100 uses both Articulated and Standard buses just like the Bx15 7 days a week? 7 days a week I don't know, but they'll be a couple of artics on it. #4705 was on it earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted July 23, 2014 Share #12705 Posted July 23, 2014 Rode 3563 for the first time today on the Q35, to be honest it still sounds kinda like a hybrid at least with the AC on. I even heard a few little high pitch/squeaky noises that sound just like hybrids. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The M100 uses a couple of artics all the time, but a small amount during weekends compared to weekdays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August 1 is on Next Friday. The buses are suppose to come next month but no one knows when because it's up to New Flyer when they want to send the buses (they wanna make sure the buses are ready to go, etc). No they will not start with 0021 etc, these 4 XD40s are not demo buses, their pilots (the beginning of an order, usually goes through testing). Do whatever the fleet numbers of the XD40s will be, then those 4 will start it off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted July 24, 2014 Share #12712 Posted July 24, 2014 And I want the B35 to actually come on time...we all can't get what we want... Unless you're talking about late night/early morning hours, It's news to me that anyone seeking the B35 actually cares about buses coming on time.... So many come in one shot rather frequently during most of the day, you won't even know which bus is late or, on time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many come in one shot rather frequently during most of the day, you won't even know which bus is late or, on time Lol I don't take the 35 as much as I used to (I usually hop on the nowadays), just for when I visit family in Sheepshead or go to Target in the junction. You would think since I live at the end of the line, they would correct themselves to a degree... You'll see them come up to 5 in a bunch to the terminal to the point where they all can't fit. 2 of them would be out of service, one would get placed down the line by the dispatcher, one leaving right away, and there's that one bus that actually gets to the terminal early. Then a gap and the process repeats itself. At least I can get a seat on the bus tho lol Edited July 24, 2014 by Fresh Pond 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charleston seemed to also have space for it. Charleston doesn't have the space for it. Castleton has more space for it than Yukon and Charleston. It was given to Castleton because they only have 3 express routes to operate. The funny thing about this is that they don't want the work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted July 25, 2014 Share #12720 Posted July 25, 2014 I don't understand how Charleston doesnt have room..that depots huge. But idk how it is internally, Castleton is a workhorse..covering for Yukon and Charleston all the time, with all those routes etc. I give em props, they work and their buses move! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that huge, trust me. I've been in and out of it. It was mostly given to Castleton because of the fact that they only operate 3 exp routes. Charleston already has a super and Yukon has trouble making service. Edited July 25, 2014 by Cait Sith 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFlyer 230 Posted July 25, 2014 Share #12723 Posted July 25, 2014 Is CS suppose to get XD60's because I saw a Gun Hill bus 4750 in Flushing Main Street heading down the Q44/20's route towards Jamaica. It had about 5 ppl and they were not MTA staff because they were not wearing any uniforms just normal people sitting anywhere on the bus some on their iPhone's. The bus did not say the Q44 and had just NYCT BUS. It did not pick up anyone but was just heading down the Q44's route. So does anyone know what an XD60 would be doing in Queens on Main street along the Q44's route? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
