RaYtHaMaN Posted April 28, 2012 Share #1402 Posted April 28, 2012 It's almost like you feel the power in the turn. Standing passangers gotta push off the glass lol The bus isn't gonna tip over. It's possible but when's the last time that happened ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acela Express Posted April 28, 2012 Share #1405 Posted April 28, 2012 On the B44, the right turn you make from Nostrand Ave to Farragut Road going Willy B. bound, now that turn is sweet, but if you have a standing load, you need to take it slow or you will have an onboard. Otherwise, that's a real dip with the NGs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaYtHaMaN Posted April 28, 2012 Share #1407 Posted April 28, 2012 Did any of ya do a school run or any run and stop short ... just to play around. Like such a hard stop everyone in the isle just went onto your windshield lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acela Express Posted April 28, 2012 Share #1408 Posted April 28, 2012 Did any of ya do a school run or any run and stop short ... just to play around. Like such a hard stop everyone in the isle just went onto your windshield lol Why would you ask that? That's a safety concern. You think I'm gonna stop short, for fun, and risk having someone get hurt just so they can pull me out of service for 3 days (or more) to do a fitness code and investigate the issue? Nah my man... You can have that shit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaYtHaMaN Posted April 28, 2012 Share #1409 Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) I knew a few who would do that working a school run nothing but kids though. Of course after the dispatcher was nowhere in sight. This was High school fyi Edited April 28, 2012 by RaYtHaMaN 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtNovaBusRTS9369 Posted April 28, 2012 Share #1414 Posted April 28, 2012 There's also #9048 which sounds like it has an EGR engine (Like the TMC's did). Rode it around February as it took back to those days when the TMC RTS still roamed around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaBUSRTS9145 Posted April 29, 2012 Share #1415 Posted April 29, 2012 Ohh ok so C40 it is !! Those things lag !! I Like the new fleet those things are rad . It's like the C40 just fresher lol. Anyone did a run on the new NEW Flyers yet ?? The Old C40s is where it's at!!!! Yes, there are some slow ones but for the most part, they runthey asses off!!! The new ones are good too, but there are some flaws with them! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted April 29, 2012 Share #1416 Posted April 29, 2012 RTS ?? Really ?? That's wussup !! Does it have the Govenor on it ?? ENY's RTSes are beasts! Not sure if it has the governor, haven't ridden it in a while but I always see 9047 ripping it on Fulton. For an old bus it's got a lotta life left in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like such a hard stop everyone in the isle just went onto your windshield lol I remember back in 7th grade that bus driver used to do it... never saw him ever since. wait... I think he stopped short because those stupid kids would all lean on the back door. then again other times the bus driver would stop short just to make everybody go "whoa!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDTA Posted May 2, 2012 Share #1420 Posted May 2, 2012 I remember back in 7th grade that bus driver used to do it... never saw him ever since. wait... I think he stopped short because those stupid kids would all lean on the back door. then again other times the bus driver would stop short just to make everybody go "whoa!" Once on the M10 allegedly somebody leaned on the back door release trigger, and the bus came to an immediate halt and I banged my head on the windshield. The B/O kept telling people that the bus does it automatically, and she didn't do anything but people kept yelling at her and one person suggested I sue the MTA... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmatechamp13 Posted May 2, 2012 Share #1421 Posted May 2, 2012 I remember once the bus was coming up to a camera light, and he tried to make it through the intersection, but then at the last second, he slammed on the brake. (And there were a lot of schoolkids, but it wasn't a tripper or anything). I thought that at the speed he was going, he could've easily made it through the intersection (I think the light had just turned yellow when he stopped), and it was riskier to stop short, since there were a decent number of standees. It's one of the few times I was really glad I held onto the pole. I assume the B/Os get tickets just like regular drivers, right? I think they should get at least a little bit of leeway, considering that they have a schedule to keep and all the special circumstances that other drivers don't have to deal with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually they are harder on B/O's because if they get in an accident, there are alot of people on the bus that could potentially get injured. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmatechamp13 Posted May 2, 2012 Share #1424 Posted May 2, 2012 On a side note, I thought I was going to see an LFS on the S44 today. I was waiting at Forest & Richmond, and saw one coming down Morningstar Road, but it turned out to be "Not In Service". The real S44 was right behind it (an O7). I like the O7s better, but it would've still been interesting to ride an LFS down Richmond Avenue (I've seen them as trippers but never actually rode one). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S78 via Hylan Posted May 2, 2012 Share #1425 Posted May 2, 2012 Caught 4877 on the last S93 of the evening after class today. It's been a while since I've take the S93. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
