Via Garibaldi 8 Posted May 5, 2012 Share #1476 Posted May 5, 2012 1) Seriously, you have to say that about every comment I make??? Can't you just let things be??? Did I offer any comment on how I felt about it? No I didn't, so STFU. I'm going to ignore that... Let's leave it there and not take any further. 2) When did I mentioned that? And I've mentioned before that I don't like it when somebody just walks on with an attitude, or they get on and they start playing with their phones (and don't give me any crap of I never said it before because I have). If somebody is in true need of a ride, then I don't see what the big deal is. (Alright, you happy now? Now I commented) That's a shocker... Now if you only you ponied up for all of the deadbeats who truly need a ride... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevenEleven Posted May 6, 2012 Share #1478 Posted May 6, 2012 Can someone please post that image of" I don't want to live on this planet anymore"? That was a great bus. It had the LED sign IIRC right? Yep. Luminator Horizon: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted May 6, 2012 Share #1479 Posted May 6, 2012 Only saw that bus twice, once in the old TBC days and one post takeover. It and 915 were both unique for having led signs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCtrainfan01 Posted May 6, 2012 Share #1480 Posted May 6, 2012 Now that I think about it, why doesn't the MTA like having the manufacturer's badge on the buses? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDTA Posted May 6, 2012 Share #1481 Posted May 6, 2012 Now that I think about it, why doesn't the MTA like having the manufacturer's badge on the buses? Iv'e never seen a bus that was purchased and still had a badge on it, except for school buses, and very very few of the O6's up here.

Kingsbridge Bus Posted May 6, 2012 Share #1482 Posted May 6, 2012 The kneeling sound of 4405 is really loud, I was able to hear it from about a block and a half away and still sounded louder than as if I were standing next to any other bus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every overhauled O7 and overhauled RTS has a literally silent kneel with just a tiny beeping noise. Used to be I could hear an RTS from a good three blocks away during the night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngblaze Posted May 6, 2012 Share #1484 Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) Now that I think about it, why doesn't the MTA like having the manufacturer's badge on the buses? I always wondered the same thing especially since when the PBL's were around you could clearly see the "GMC" and "Orion" emblems on their buses. It's probably cheaper for them to order buses without the emblem's. I'm guessing it's the same thing regarding the steering wheels...like how the new nova's and the latest batch of O7 NG's have that 2 spoke wheel opposed to the 3 spoke wheel design. That'll probably change soon, they're really muffling the buses now. Every overhauled O7 and overhauled RTS has a literally silent kneel with just a tiny beeping noise. Used to be I could hear an RTS from a good three blocks away during the night. It's sad to see those mufflers on the O7 CNG's the fact that they were so loud was the reason why they were my favorite variant of the O7.

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted May 6, 2012 Share #1485 Posted May 6, 2012 Speaking of kneeling, I'm guessing that these buses are built to have constant kneeling because on the Riverdale express buses, some B/Os kneel at every stop, which means that one bus could kneel hundreds of times a day. I have to say they're getting better because before those RTSs.... Have a wheelchair or had to kneel and they'd break down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmatechamp13 Posted May 6, 2012 Share #1486 Posted May 6, 2012 That's a shocker... Now if you only you ponied up for all of the deadbeats who truly need a ride... Yes, because I carry a few million dollars worth of MetroCards around just in case some people need a free ride. Look, when I get older and have to pay taxes and pay the full fare every day, then yes, I wouldn't mind paying a little bit extra if it means some people in need get a free ride. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B17EastNewYorkDepot Posted May 6, 2012 Share #1487 Posted May 6, 2012 why is it that the NGs from S.I. has USDOT # -only know this cause FP has them... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them might be for the S89, because you need some sort of USDOT certification to run between state lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally like the badges on buses. Which PBL had the Orion badge? Was it Triboro? I don't remember too well.

MHV9218 Posted May 6, 2012 Share #1490 Posted May 6, 2012 I've seen badges on school buses before. The Orion VI had badges? I didn't know that. Yep, 6352 had an Orion badge. That was bus was ex-NJT though. As far as I know, the MTA has never ordered buses with badges on them, not since the order the PA paid for with the GMC RTSes. The buses that do have badges were paid for by the DOT, and those buses were specced according to PBL operators who often kept the badges. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User Posted May 6, 2012 Share #1491 Posted May 6, 2012 Nah, he probably just picked off of the Q30 or picked a different time as the new pick may have went into effect when he "stopped showing up". So it's all a coincidence? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bus was Ex-NJT 4002. Thanks for the number bro. I've never seen a MTA bus with a badge on it that was originally bought by the MTA. Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong but, when the MTA inherited those Ex PBL buses, I believe they kept the badges on those buses right?

B35 via Church Posted May 6, 2012 Share #1493 Posted May 6, 2012 Yes, because I carry a few million dollars worth of MetroCards around just in case some people need a free ride. I wish people stop coming on the bus with a million metrocards wasting everyone's time..... You rarely, if ever see a regular person at the metrocard readers at the train station swiping all them dam MC's to see what, or how much is on em.... Only people you really see doing that, are homeless.... The regular (riders), oh no, they wait to wanna pull that BS upon entering the bus..... just got off the B46 a few mins. ago, where a guy dipped in at least 10 metrocards before the b/o just waved him on.... I knew I should have just walked from eastern pkwy.... Most likely would have done so if one weren't already sittin there..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S78 via Hylan Posted May 7, 2012 Share #1497 Posted May 7, 2012 Rode 4608 on the S44 going towards the SI Mall. A passenger asked why there were cameras installed in the bus and the operator told her to call and ask the about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
