BM5 via Woodhaven Posted May 8, 2016 Share #17727 Posted May 8, 2016 Someone caught an XD60 on the Q7 today the pic is on the FB group, and at the time of writing this, I do see it on bus time. http://bustime.mta.info/#q7 It happens from time to time.

Threxx Posted May 8, 2016 Share #17728 Posted May 8, 2016 Today I seen a B103 flagging people going TOWARDS the Junction from Caransie on a Saturday Afternoon, that's a first... The schedule has run like this for a while. Between about 9 AM and 6 PM on weekends buses alternate between Flatbush/Nostrand and Downtown... running every 10 minutes overall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted May 8, 2016 Share #17729 Posted May 8, 2016 it listed in the thin text cause when the runs the doesn't stop there when the isn't running, which is all other times outside of rush hour the makes all stops On that map(the closure map) that distinction is curiously absent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, but I doubt that had anything to do with why this particular run was crush loaded as I saw it around E56th Street. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was just going to the Junction, he probably figured a B6 or another B103 would be along shortly to pick up the flagged riders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what goes on with those two routes... Seen it way too many times, even on saturdays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B35 via Church Posted May 8, 2016 Share #17736 Posted May 8, 2016 All those short turns on those routes and that's still a problem? How about, all that weekend service that was given to the B103 years ago, and that's still a problem.... That illustrates the matter better 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far rockaway Posted May 9, 2016 Share #17739 Posted May 9, 2016 Jfk depot will start retiring the RTS buses soon. So Bp will start sending the og hybrids to jfk Depot once they get the xd60s. Is it also possible that jfk can get more NGS from other NYCT DEPOTS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JubaionBx12+SBS Posted May 9, 2016 Share #17740 Posted May 9, 2016 The Bx5 to Bay Plaza on weekends has been extremely strange. You'll get a bus every now and then carrying a nearly fully seated load and think that maybe Bx5 usage to the mall is gaining some traction. Then you'll see most of the other buses are almost totally empty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK doesn't need hybrids from NYCT There are not enough hybrids from NYCT to go around and shift over to MTA bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteriousBtrain Posted May 10, 2016 Share #17746 Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) Does anyone know where I can find the delivery assignments of the 2000 series RTS? I am working on a project that could use that info, and the MABSTOA fleet is what I need to complete the collection of assignments.

JFK Depot Posted May 10, 2016 Share #17748 Posted May 10, 2016 I saw two white XD60's in the back right lot(where employees park their cars) at BP Depot. Training units.... BP drivers still aren't fully trained on the XD60 yet I was told this morning from my source that not every driver has had a chance to touch them yet... Once they get finally trained on them and the wraps are completed then we'll start to see some shifting going on between BP and JFK 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
