Via Garibaldi 8 Posted July 30, 2014 Share #12801 Posted July 30, 2014 Then what was the whole point of bringing up running more BM5's if the ridership was there? Just what I said.... If ridership was there, there would be more BM5's, but it isn't. Can't be any more clearer than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted July 31, 2014 Share #12802 Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Just what I said.... If ridership was there, there would be more BM5's, but it isn't. Can't be any more clearer than that. And that's why I said IF ridership was there, that they would be combined trips (kinda like the QM1/QM5 during the evening hours and the X17/22 during midday hours), because the 15 isn't that full during those times as to have two buses like that.

lupojohn Posted July 31, 2014 Share #12803 Posted July 31, 2014 It always has two buses running due to its 30 minute headways and small ridership, just like the B32, Bx46, & B84. Well, maybe if they ran more buses, ridership would increase. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted July 31, 2014 Share #12804 Posted July 31, 2014 Speaking of Bx24, is it always a Next-Gen running on that line? I never see a Orion 5 out on that route 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen an Orion 5 on there. Probably due to the 26, 28, 30, 34 and 38 using most of those. Even the 29 had an Orion 5 on it last week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It uses one a lot of times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted July 31, 2014 Share #12808 Posted July 31, 2014 I'm just asking because I never had one and I wanna make sure. If your unlimited metrocard expires July 31st. It's good to use the day it expires right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's about 2 runs each PM rush around 2-5 that use an Orion from Kingsbridge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, to be on the safe side that's correct, though you may be given an additional few minutes or so. For that reason, I NEVER take a 00:00 express bus anywhere if I don't want my express bus pass that I'm starting to be counted for the previous day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've been riding the B1 lately, ridership is just skyrocketing so f**kinn fast. Every bus is getting packed and now buses are running in twos both packed. I hate it cause Xcelsiors wanna bypass me and I can't even get a seat when I get on. A limited is coming, I know it, they'll figure out a way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A limited is coming, I know it, they'll figure out a way. I don't know why the B1 can't get artics? UP doesn't have any though and I suppose their depot can't handle them? They lost some express bus service so they should have some sort of space... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they took it...The contract is going to be awarded next year, but it'll most likely be a split order between Nova Bus & New Flyer like the main order. The buses from that batch will be coming in slowly after all negotiations are done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
