Cait Sith Posted January 6, 2015 Share #13951 Posted January 6, 2015 Them Orion V's are really on their last legs. Bus 6136 was making some type of hissing noise. I don't know what it was but it was on the Q17 earlier and every few seconds it would make a hissing noise. That doesn't really mean anything bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M15 at Tuskegee.... M15 SBS at MCH.... Was it worth even spliting depots on the M15 if they are switching fleets anyway? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyer 230 Posted January 7, 2015 Share #13955 Posted January 7, 2015 Those were all QV today, or at least I think so (I'm by 188, so they're easy to track, those CS runs).No the Q88 still has CS trippers. I see them everyday because I use the Q88 all the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The past two days I've been tracking the Fresh Meadow Q88 runs, and they all RTS's or LFS's (I take the 88 too as well, I don't know what time you take it though). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All other trippers from John Bowne, Francis Lewis, St Francis Prep and Queen College trippers are all from CS. Maybe QV has helped once in a while for the St Francis Prep trippers but I know for sure CS did the Q88 runs. 4201, 6123, 6856 and 6903 were on the Q88 earlier that I have seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Francis is done by QV (in the AM), and the Francis Lewis runs had RTS's. I dont know how these trippers are working then, so theyre probably John Browne trippers and the PM St Francis Trippers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q113 LTD Posted January 8, 2015 Share #13962 Posted January 8, 2015 I was waiting at the bus stop and a group of dam ignorant high school kids standing on the sits at the rear of the bus. The widow was open and I had a feeling they would do something stupid like spitting or throwing a object at people. The bus was at the red light and as soon as the bus got the green light and started to move, one of those f ***ing bastards threw a pen at my dam face.

I don't know why school kids gotta be so rowdy. I notice it mostly the minorities that always gotta do something immature. I hate it when these kids are jumping around on the bus, talking loud, cursing, fighting and just being rude when they get off the bus. Is it really necessary to be so rude and disrespectful. I've always said its always gonna get worse especially when there is a lack of teaching at home. This deal about kids having kids stuff ain't working especially if a kid is not taught to have any real values and respect. That is probably why I hear a lot of middle age and elder people saying how better life was when they were coming up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's because Francis Lewis is in the area that it's in so nothing is really going on there. I've heard worst and I know some bus lines like the Q5, Q6, Q22, Q77, Q85, Q111/Q113 are real bad during the school time in the afternoons. These routes past by many schools and I seen some buses pulled over because a high school student didn't know how to act on a city bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted January 11, 2015 Share #13968 Posted January 11, 2015 - The B32 continues to take riders from the B62.... I hope it doesn't happen, but I think the MTA may look into cutting service to Queens plz. on the B62, and look to boost service on the B32 in the future.... The B61 of old would truly be bastardized..... - The Q102 at QBP last night... Lol.I counted 8 people getting off, no one left on the bus - until about 20 people boarded it! That was more or less the ridership pattern of the route anyway (with the exception of that many people boarding at QBP).... Just have the thing run solely b/w QBP & Roosevelt Island already.... -One more thing... Anyone knows when/what year the B43 turnaround up in Greenpoint changed? I mean, you had some b/o's that went on layover [at the last NB stop anyway (Manhattan b/w Clay & Box)] & some that went on layover [at (what used to be the first SB stop) Box/Manhattan (on Box, SW corner)], but now it looks like the last NB stop is only where they take layover.... It no longer goes left on Commercial, left on Box, & then the right back onto Manhattan.... But instead, it runs to the end of Manhattan (av), which contains a loop..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted January 11, 2015 Share #13969 Posted January 11, 2015 If they extend the B32 to Queens Plaza, I wouldn't have a problem with that (however if that's not the case, then yeah it's a problem). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would.... It would screw Williamsburg riders (There are more Williamsburg riders that take the 62 over the 32, AINEC).... The Williamsburg portion of the B32 is dominated by yellow/green cabs, and quite frankly, I don't think that's going to change (similar situation in DUMBO with the B25)... It's the usage to/from Greenpoint that the 32 (which is more residential) is taking away from the 62 (which is commercial)..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the usage to/from Greenpoint that the 32 (which is more residential) is taking away from the 62 (which is commercial)..... Whenever I go to Williamsburg (which is once a week), I take the B62, only because it's available at the Q67 stop at LIC (therefore I don't have to get up earlier, since I'm not in that much of a hurry to change buses). However, if they start cutting that, the 15 minute waits become 20, and so on and so on, and I would hope they would at least compensate some of that to routing the B32 to LIC (since there is a good amount of B62 riders originating from LIC). If the B32 serves some of those residents better, then that's good. If the B62 gets reduced headways or something, then that is a problem (but they probably would increase B32 headways in addition, IF it becomes that popular). For now I don't see that happen, I'd be more worried within several months, when then you can see the actual ridership base and how it holds on and how it affects the 32/62 (because the B32 turned 1 in September). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted January 11, 2015 Share #13972 Posted January 11, 2015 A few days ago, a Bx41 I rode was in the bus lane when there was a parked car in the bus lane. The B/O opens the doors to tell the driver he can't park there. Meanwhile, a passenger near me gets upset because the B/O is talking to the lane violator. I got annoyed for a bit. People don't know how to act at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
