B35 via Church Posted August 16, 2014 Share #12976 Posted August 16, 2014 Put in for a transfer huh...? The old bldg. I used to work in, underwent new ownership.... So it's not a matter of putting in for a transfer. The company will be uprooting (again)... As for when, I'll put it to you just like I put it to my underlings - Details have not been disclosed (well, more came after that, but it's irrelevant for the purposes of this post)..... I don't know if it'll be at the end of the year, next 3 years, next 5 years or what, but I'll say this much - Sooner is much better than f***in later.... Hopefully wherever we move to, will be somewhere in midtown (personal reasons).... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully wherever we move to, will be somewhere in midtown (personal reasons).... Oh I see... Yeah we moved back in 2012, but stayed in Midtown. The boss is on the Upper East Side so no way were they moving Downtown. Any jobs that I've considered, I've told the recruiter that it MUST be in Midtown. Even with the BxM18, I don't care for Downtown. Too much construction and the streets are too damn narrow, dirty and too many damn people smoking. There's no place to escape... Last year I interviewed for a new role in a company (senior management role) tha a recruiter contacted me about. I figure I had nothing to lose so I went on the interview. The building is that one on the corner of Lex and 57th with the fountains... Would've been a great location... The receptionist actually lived just a few blocks from me in Riverdale and took the BxM1 in... Unfortunately I didn't get it but that building would've been great to work in, but the requirements that they had were insane. 5 years management experience, multilingual (at least two languages), experience with marketing (which I have but not to the degree they were looking for), plus they wanted someone to run meetings and work with the marketing team and review all translated marketing material for various markets. They were also making the job up as they went along, as it was a new job they had created, and I didn't feel excited about being in the dark about all of my roles within the company. Sure they would've paid $75 - 80k a year or more, but I'm sure I would've been running around like a madman... Marketing is a crazy field, esp. when dealing with international (localization) projects.

MTA Bus Posted August 17, 2014 Share #12981 Posted August 17, 2014 3800 was in service on the M104 today. It's not repainted, all they did was put a new panel where it hit the car and painted it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the could make money from this, "rent" the bus for an evening before it it goes into service, rent an airport hanger at JFK, park the bus, sell tickets for dinner, drinks, and the unveiling of the new kid in town. Ticket includes dinner and all the pictures you can take, bring your own drool... LMAO! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted August 17, 2014 Share #12991 Posted August 17, 2014 I'm just waiting for LaGuardia to recieve the 4900-5200 RTS.I can see them having trouble with the ZF RTSs, they refitting those things with Orange signs so I guess they will be sticking around, being that there oddballs you would think the TA would want to get rid of them asap but whatever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union Tpke Posted August 17, 2014 Share #12992 Posted August 17, 2014 Why aren't the Q10s that start at Queens Blvd at the subway entrance and end at 150th St or Rckwy Blvd shown on the bus schedules. Also for me it is annoying that these buses make no stops until 83 Av. These buses go on QB, then on 82nd Av and on KG Rd there is a QM18 express bus stop that could have service for Q10s, then it goes down lefferts and there is another QM18 stop at Austin St that could also be used, my dad said that one ride the B/O stopped there. Why do these buses exist in the first place? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only received new signs, since the ones the originally had were prone to freezing. Plus they aren't really oddballs anymore since there is other buses with the same transmission (1200s), and others with a newer generation of it (LFSAs, 3Gs, LFSs). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do these buses exist in the first place? Express buses were created to serve customers from outerlying areas into the city at a faster rate than the local bus to the subway, when there were no free transfers between buses or bus-to-subway connections. Times have changed, and the fares are higher now, specifically on the ex- PBL routes, and free transfers were introduced. You do have people who use the express bus over the train.

East New York Posted August 18, 2014 Share #12998 Posted August 18, 2014 I'm just waiting for LaGuardia to recieve the 4900-5200 RTS. That probably wont happen. 5105-5249 are getting the new signs, and will be the last to be retired. MTAB may get a few of them, but I have a strong feeling most of them will never see service in that division much like the 8600. I can see them having trouble with the ZF RTSs, they refitting those things with Orange signs so I guess they will be sticking around, being that there oddballs you would think the TA would want to get rid of them asap but whatever. Naw, they are pretty good buses, and as mentioned above, there are plenty of ZF buses now. Flatbush and Ulmer Park do a pretty good job of maintaining them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTA was NOT interested at all! lol I was just kidding but it's cool you tried to do that... Too bad has such a stick up their ass, there seems to be community interest in new buses (at least from foamers) that they could actually profit off of it (or donate the money to charity) by doing something like I joked about; a viewing party or something. The is very mysterious and secretive, some city's make getting new buses a big community event, ribbon cutting for the first bus to come in. Then again these municipalities see new buses a lot less than the so it's more exciting for most. It's really just a big press event... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
