Kingsbridgeviewer382 Posted July 9, 2015 Share #15402 Posted July 9, 2015 I'm guessing 8091 was spotted somewhere?Its actually 8094. Its at one of the Nova Bus plants. The Nova Bus Facebook page had a picture of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrivera Posted July 10, 2015 Share #15403 Posted July 10, 2015 Late nights there seems to be a lot more Bx10 shuttle buses, though I do see some Isham buses. Oh, those must be the Bx10's that are on their last trips and just take a right on Broadway (give or take a block) and go to the depot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted July 10, 2015 Share #15404 Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) Honestly,the LFS/LFSA need more poles in the rear section and more stop request buttons as well. I was on the B44 SBS and it's hard to stand back there. Also, the only thing the last three rows have to make a stop request is the pull cord along the window. Kinda inaccessible and uncomfortable to stand. I hope something can be done about that, I mean is it that hard to add a few more poles and stop buttons?

MysteriousBtrain Posted July 10, 2015 Share #15405 Posted July 10, 2015 Its actually 8094. Its at one of the Nova Bus plants. The Nova Bus Facebook page had a picture of it.So this one then? I guess it means the LFS order is kicking in now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep... They can be pretty frequent too. I sometimes see two back-to-back when waiting for the express bus at night for a trip to the city. One going to 231and Broadway, followed by the regular Norwood bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B35 via Church Posted July 10, 2015 Share #15408 Posted July 10, 2015 lol... How did you find out? After having came from Niketown, I walked over to the first stop.... Got on, dozed off for a couple, & woke up when we were on the highway.... Said to myself, so I got about another 20 (before I get off) - that's how I gauge it.... When I saw that he bypassed the exit, I went on the laptop & checked the schedule.... Sure enough, we went straight to Brooklyn...... My exact words was, "this is really getting out of hand".... Hence, that last post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitz Posted July 10, 2015 Share #15409 Posted July 10, 2015 So this one then? I guess it means the LFS order is kicking in now. that straight stripe on the front looks stupid... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted July 10, 2015 Share #15410 Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) that straight stripe on the front looks stupid...Hmm.... now that you mention it, the bus does look a little different in the front. The front stripe and the window wipers seem to be in a different place/way than 8090. I wonder why....Or maybe it's just me because the way I don't really see the exterior lights. Oh well. I guess I'll wait until delivery to find out. Edited July 10, 2015 by MysteriousBtrain 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted July 10, 2015 Share #15411 Posted July 10, 2015 I don't remember who said KB does some trips on the Bx15 LTD, but it seems like they were right. I spotted two D60s from KB running on 125th street on the Bx15 right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence, that last post. lol... Well it's happening because no one is complaining. With all of the part-timers on those routes, it's no wonder things are a mess. I need the BM3 tomorrow but I will not be getting it Downtown. Midtown for sure... For what it's worth, even that isn't a safe bet. I'm not sure where I'll get on because I sometimes have had to go down to 2nd and 23rd to get on because if they're on detour they'll bypass a ton of stops coming down Lex and then turn on 23rd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future ENY OP Posted July 10, 2015 Share #15413 Posted July 10, 2015 ...and yet another non-super express BM skips lower manhattan this evening. This has long gotten out of hand with spring creek. WAIT!?! WHAT??? This is really crazy, and right after rush hour too. There will be complaints. All this part time stuff at (SC) is totally unnecessary. They (SC) need to get right and transfer the union over to Local 100. If you can't have drivers follow the route correctly. Take them off the road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been burned once on a Saturday with a guy that did that on the BM3, hence why I rarely wait Downtown for them anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted July 10, 2015 Share #15415 Posted July 10, 2015 Lol Lower Manhattan is dead after PM rush so that's probably why they think they can get away with outright skipping it.. Also could have been a rookie driver who was too lazy to call command while he was on 23rd to make sure... I had a rookie driver on the BM Before who wasn't sure if his run did Lower Manhattan or went straight to BK after 23rd so he called command to make sure, his run was a straight to BK run and that was that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That also, but it's still unacceptable and is yet another reason why ridership continues to decrease. I've been on a few buses that have done this in the past and sometimes it's rookies who don't know any better, but I still fault them for not doing their job properly. I mean if you're new, go out and learn the damn route. I had one guy that I know tell me that happened to him out in Queens (went the wrong way because he didn't know the area) and the bus only ran once an hour, so that means a bunch of people are stuck waiting almost two hours for a bus. It's even worse if it's the last bus. Ridiculous. He goes, well let em get the next one, as if it's just eh okay to wait another hour for the next bus. Easy to say when you're the driver on a nice air controlled bus. A few years ago, I was waiting at the first stop to get the BM3 back to the city. I see the bus let out at the last stop and then it turned and went in another direction. I didn't think anything of it, but that was my bus back to the city that bypassed a ton of stops. I just said screw it and waited for the next one. Still better than taking the subway back to the city. It's funny because I was having this conversation last night with a few Riverdale riders that I normally get on with and we were talking about B/Os who play games. One lady thought I had missed my bus, but I told her that me and another regular both got an earlier bus. Apparently the guy came early, which I believe. New guy too... I'm sure they are told all of this in training, but they do it anyway to see if they can get away with it, and then when they receive complaints they wonder why. They don't use common sense.

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted July 10, 2015 Share #15417 Posted July 10, 2015 So the new BxM11 schedule is out... I guess they were serious about serving that Bronx Zoo stop full-time... lol It will probably draw more ridership too... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoBrickBreaker101 Posted July 11, 2015 Share #15418 Posted July 11, 2015 So this idiot B/O on the Q10 today threatened me saying that recording a video of a bus is illegal and that if he ever saw me again, he would take my camera and format it completely , and again, all I did was take a video of his bus... f**king idiot... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are unfortunately many drivers like that, and yes, it is completely legal to record a bus. If I could encounter the last driver that had a nasty look on me when I was taking pictures of a bus, I'd just laugh it off and ignore him because it's not like there are 1,000 versions of him coming after me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobtehpanda Posted July 11, 2015 Share #15420 Posted July 11, 2015 If I had an unprofessional bus driver, who would I contact about that? I was on the Q43 today and my driver and some other driver on the Q3 kept stopping at lights, opening the doors, and yelling at each other, and both buses even remained stationary at a green light pulling this shit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of your inside knowledge of the and you don't know how to file a complaint? All you have to do is note the Bus#, date, time, route and what happened and you're good to go. Go to mta.info, FAQ, and there is a place there to file a complaint. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure I've filed at least 100 complaints. MIA buses, buses coming early, rude drivers, reckless drivers, drivers bypassing stops or portions of the route, drivers purposely messing around so that they can't be tracked on BusTime. It becomes annoying after a while but quite frankly if you don't file a complaint these guys will just continue. Some very immature, unprofessional types, mainly young guys from the street that have no home training and poor education. What's interesting is that I have NEVER encountered a rude LIRR or MNRR employee on the trains... I wonder why... Sarcasm...
