MysteriousBtrain Posted March 18, 2016 Share #17376 Posted March 18, 2016 Wondering when those XD60s will be delivered to Baisley Park... After the Q10 gets all of its XD60s either delivered or converted(the buses in service now). Delivery is planned to start sometime in april. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrivera Posted March 18, 2016 Share #17377 Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Delivery is planned to start sometime in april. Are those XD60s coming in with the new paint scheme? (it might be a wrap though, knowing how the MTA works with paint) Edited March 18, 2016 by paulrivera 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted March 18, 2016 Share #17378 Posted March 18, 2016 Are those XD60s coming in with the new paint scheme? (it might be a wrap though, knowing how the MTA works with paint) Yes. All future buses at this point are coming in with the wrap, including JFK's next batch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojiMet86 Posted March 19, 2016 Share #17379 Posted March 19, 2016 Does anyone remember that thread where we used to post what buses and routes we've ridden? I don't think the search goes that far back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteriousBtrain Posted March 20, 2016 Share #17385 Posted March 20, 2016 No artics on any WF route today. Not even the Bx19. Must be a maintenance day for WF artics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there are a few that are still running artics today, like the Concourse buses and Bx41 SBS.Also, ironic that the first day of spring is set to open with snow time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East New York Posted March 22, 2016 Share #17389 Posted March 22, 2016 Random underground fact of the day. #5249 was the last RTS T80-206 that would ever be built. #HistoricMuseumBus Does anyone remember that thread where we used to post what buses and routes we've ridden? I don't think the search goes that far back. That thread is buried so deep it would take some serious searching for me to find it since I don't know the exact title. You are more than welcome to start a new one. No artics on any WF route today. Not even the Bx19. Must be a maintenance day for WF artics. None of the artic routes have artics running in preparation for the snow. It was a Sunday so they really weren't needed actually. However, 5940, and 5952 were on the Bx19, and 5959 was on the Bx21. Interestingly enough, and I would have loved to get a pic of it, 7806 was on the M15. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegoBrickBreaker101 Posted March 22, 2016 Share #17393 Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) How? When did that get to Hale? Doubt it ever went to Hale, it was most likely a loaner. Also, the M15 Local's out of Tuskegee, the M15 Select is the one out of Hale. Edited March 22, 2016 by LegoBrickBreaker101 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteriousBtrain Posted March 24, 2016 Share #17398 Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) For those who are interested, there is a hearing for the M5/55 on April 20th. M5 Bus Route Service Revisions The Metropolitan Transportation Authority proposes to revise the M5 bus route in Manhattan. These changes are proposed in order to improve reliability on the M5. The M5 would be split into two separate routes: the northern route would run between the George Washington Bridge Bus Terminal at West 178th Street and West 37th Street in Midtown and the southern route (M55) would run between West 37th Street and the South Ferry Terminal. The M5 is a 12- mile, north-south route that provides local and Limited-stop bus service in Manhattan between the George Washington Bridge Bus Terminal (at West 178th Street) and the South Ferry Terminal. The M5 serves approximately 11,700 daily riders. The M5 is consistently one of the worst performing bus routes in Manhattan and is plagued by operational issues that result in uneven and unreliable service. Splitting the M5 route into two shorter routes will help to mitigate the effects of delays along the route while allowing for better recovery from delays and providing more even and reliable service for customers. Date and Place of Hearing Wednesday, April 20, 2016 Hearing begins at 5 p.m. Registration is from 4–7 p.m. 2 Broadway, 20th Floor New York, NY 10004 The hearing will begin at 5:00 pm. All registered speakers will be heard. Each speaker is permitted up to three minutes to testify. Comments will be accepted until the close of the hearing.

Q43LTD Posted March 25, 2016 Share #17400 Posted March 25, 2016 For those who are interested, there is a hearing for the M5/55 on April 20th. Still feel the split should be at Columbus Circle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
