GojiMet86 Posted January 23, 2015 Share #14126 Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) This isn't the first time a D60 appeared on the M60 SBS? Belongs to The [Transport Net], a little over two years ago. Don't know about SBS, but the regular M60 yes. Edited January 23, 2015 by GojiMet86 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrivera Posted January 24, 2015 Share #14128 Posted January 24, 2015 5324 is on the M15 SBS now, if BusTime is a credible source. Heading south toward 28th as I type. Did that bus come from the Bronx or Brooklyn? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted January 24, 2015 Share #14131 Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) 5324 came from Flatbush to Clara Hale a few weeks ago. 5323 from Gun Hill, 5784 from KB & 5822-5824 from Tuskegee Airmen moved there as well. Wait, Mother Clara Hale Depot has artics? Interesting... --- Random though... Was on the BxM18 last night heading home and we passed 126th street depot as we made our way to the Harlem River Drive... Are they going to demolish that depot and if so when? Are they building a new depot anytime soon to replace it and if the depot is closed, why were so many lights on inside of the building?

NewFlyer504 Posted January 24, 2015 Share #14137 Posted January 24, 2015 Not sure if this has been asked before, but what is the purpose of routes like the M50? It seems a duplicate of the M42 and the difference is a few blocks which can take one a mere few minutes. Is it to make more money for the ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The M42 and M50 serve different purposes. The M42 is a tourist route and the M50 serves 50th Ave and the stores and stuff over there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems a duplicate of the M42 and the difference is a few blocks which can take one a mere few minutes. Is it to make more money for the ? I guess 8 blocks is not much of a difference to you? The 42 and 50 did share a terminal at the UN until 2011 when the M50 was cut back to 1 Av to regain weekend service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The M42 is a tourist route and the M50 serves 50th Ave and the stores and stuff over there. I always wondered why does the M66 run on 67th/68th Sts. on the east side instead of 65th/66th? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Culver Posted January 26, 2015 Share #14147 Posted January 26, 2015 Snow chains coming on tomorrow, I suppose. Question for any bus operators on here: do the snow chains really make a difference? I was on an RTS last winter during one of the heavy snow periods (guess they didn't put on the chains in time for that one), with a ton of snow already down and it was fine. The bus didn't skid off the road, flip and explode into flames. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bus didn't skid off the road, flip and explode into flames. They switched to all season tires on most buses. Those chains don't really do much since they arent real chains...more like coils held together, but they have a habit of either popping off or ripping the wheel well apart 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted January 26, 2015 Share #14149 Posted January 26, 2015 Very curious to see how TU will handle the snowstorm. Given that the depot is entirely artics, and we'll likely see all artics taken off the roads, we're gonna have some interesting buses on the 15 and 101/2/3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted January 26, 2015 Share #14150 Posted January 26, 2015 Very curious to see how TU will handle the snowstorm. Given that the depot is entirely artics, and we'll likely see all artics taken off the roads, we're gonna have some interesting buses on the 15 and 101/2/3. I can see MCH & Quill doing some put ins, question is how much can they put in? Last year there was days when 126 couldn't put out that many artics at all and the local M15 was nearly all RTS & hybrid with a sh*tload of missing SBSes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
