NewFlyer 230 Posted August 18, 2014 Share #13002 Posted August 18, 2014 so those are for additional service, What would you do to help the route? It's for extra service. Sometimes there are too many buses lined up on Kew Gardens Rd so they have buses start on Queens Blvd. Good part about them buses that start there is that they don't make any stops until it meets up with the regular Q10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's new and it's a test bus so it will be on the streets as much as possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BM5 via Woodhaven Posted August 18, 2014 Share #13006 Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) LMAO... Your new name should be CP Dispatcher... Whatever, lol. Also something I saw was a QM3 apparently replacing a QM10 3 Avenue branch bus (I'm probably not joking with this one), because it came from 57 Avenue, and I did not see a single East Midtown QM10 at all today. There were also QM2's running via Hoffman. Edited August 18, 2014 by BM5 via Woodhaven 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Sith Posted August 18, 2014 Share #13009 Posted August 18, 2014 6193 was on loan from Gun Hill Depot to the Bx12 yesterday. From? The Bx12 is a Gun Hill Depot route(split with KB during the summer) and 6193 is a Gun Hill Bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted August 18, 2014 Share #13010 Posted August 18, 2014 I'm not in the city so I haven't had a chance to swing by and talk to my guys at the depot--anybody got a scoop about what those O5s are doing at Manhattanville? 6004, 6242, and 6329 have all touched down over there. Nothing in service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted August 18, 2014 Share #13011 Posted August 18, 2014 What's the point of Bx12 unwrapping the 1200s and re-wrapping it to the 5300s? And, are all of the 1200s be unwrapped? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know that, so that's why I said it was from Gun Hill. We don't all have access to that type of information regarding what routes use what depots in the summer. Also, I should know about what the 12 uses more than almost everyone here since I live a few minutes from the line and pass it almost every day. I see what equipment it uses and never saw that on there before. Edited August 19, 2014 by lupojohn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BM5 via Woodhaven Posted August 19, 2014 Share #13016 Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) I use that a lot and no listing of the 12 at Gun Hill and Trevor just updated it. You mentioned The 12 uses GH during the summer, yet that isn't listed there. From the wiki itself: "We at NO TIME claim the roster to be 100% correct as buses do move constantly, but we do our best to get it as close as possible" Just Saying... But yes, the Bx12 is a GH/ KB Split during the summer (Taken in late June) Edited August 19, 2014 by BM5 via Woodhaven 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted August 19, 2014 Share #13017 Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) Three QM11's back to back to back this morning.... SMH. Three back to back? Hell, I've never seen three QM11's in service in any one instance/waiting period... Most I saw was 2, while waiting for either the x15 or x19 (can't remember which) years ago..... (damn, come to think of it, I don't remember the last time I rode a SI express bus) Edited August 19, 2014 by B35 via Church 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B35 via Church Posted August 19, 2014 Share #13019 Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) Yep, took a video of it too. Yeah, I believe it happened (pre-posting of the video here).... What reason would you have to lie about that..... Anyway, the last bus looked pretty packed... How were the loads of the first 2 QM11's? On the surface (for anyone that knows how the QM11 runs), it sounds odd to have that happen on that route..... Just like me seeing back to back (literally) B12's around 4:50am (albany/winthrop) early yesterday morning heading towards Parkside (sorry, no video)..... ^^No excuse for that whatsoever; no bus route should be bunching at that time of day, not even the Q44 (that probably carries the heaviest that I can think of, off top, that time a day) - which I've also had happen one early sunday morning whilst @ Flushing (first bus, which was the bus I got on, was jammed packed.... then out of nowhere, a 2nd bus blew past us whilst on the whitestone); it was closer to 4am than 5am IIRC, and worse, it was on a weekend....

For a bus route to have two buses bunched together at 4 in the morning you know the driver was fooling around. The Q44 runs every 20 or 30 mins at night and I believe once I've seen a Q44 Local bus crowded at 3AM in the morning. Now I wonder why the Q10 runs every 20 mins at night. Does the Q10 even get decent usage between 12-5AM in the morning to even need a bus showing up every 20 mins? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E For Erica Posted August 19, 2014 Share #13021 Posted August 19, 2014 Why is ENY running that new Xcelsior soo much? I mean yeah I know it's their bus, but damnnn, four days in a row for a least eight hours a day? A better question would be why are they constantly running it on the B14/B17 for the most part.

I can't find any record in the past few days' pullouts. 8907 has also been quiet for the past days, hope that's still there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the Q10 even get decent usage between 12-5AM in the morning to even need a bus showing up every 20 mins?Don't forget, between those hours you have tons of JFK employees that are either beginning their morning shift or coming off their late evening shift (myself included) and I can tell you that the Q10 gets a good amount of people. From what I've seen, JFK-bound buses pick up mostly at Atlantic and Liberty. Edited August 19, 2014 by S78 via Hylan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted August 19, 2014 Share #13024 Posted August 19, 2014 Can someone explain how those 30 MCIs 4300-4329 are in the middle of the NG order? Those MCIs came before the NGs, so why did they just number 30 randomly in that gap? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
