Blitz Posted July 1, 2012 Share #1929 Posted July 1, 2012 Today I had my first official ride on one of the new C40LF's from JG and it just brings up a question that i have been asking for a long time...why did the MTA never test or purchase any D40LF's? The bus is the most spacious low floor bus I have ever taken a ride on. Makes me wanna take a ride on an XD40 just to compare... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they did test a D40LF, but I think it was tested in Brooklyn. http://www.ttmg.org/pages/nfi/nymta-nfib.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngblaze Posted July 1, 2012 Share #1931 Posted July 1, 2012 What happened to the Q32 being split between CS and MJQ ? You know a Q44 split between CS and WF wouldn't be a bad idea IMO.

NYCtrainfan01 Posted July 2, 2012 Share #1933 Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) You know a Q44 split between CS and WF wouldn't be a bad idea IMO. That's what I've been thinking too. The Q44 terminates not to far away from WF in the Bronx. -------- Regarding the D40LF, Does anyone know what depot was it based out of? My guess would be out of ENY but I'm not to sure...

I've been saying, ever since it was announced that CS would get artics, that the Q44 should be a WF route. That way they will have more experienced drivers taking the artics through the New territory. Although they would probably have to change the name of the route to the QBx44 or something along that line 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although they would probably have to change the name of the route to the QBx44 or something along that line Not really the Q24,Q54,Q56,Q58,Q59 and Q8 and Q35 either come from a depot in Brooklyn or run a distance in Brooklyn but are not called QB24 and so on. Even they changed the old Qbx1 to Q50 and it still has many stops in the Bronx. I think we a another letter is placed in the destination sign ppl get confused and some mAy think its express. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted July 3, 2012 Share #1939 Posted July 3, 2012 Why did JG send their old C40LFs to WF ? Probably because some of the Orion CNGs @ WF are out getting overhauled... when they come back those C40s most likely will be retired. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so those Orion V CNG's have no more life in them. So I believe its just to replace them for now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Up Front Posted July 3, 2012 Share #1944 Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Those OGs are nothing more than dressed-up Orion Vs. The ride itself is not too bad for a low-floor bus, but if that's the only redeeming quality of the bus (crappy rear-seat configurations, looking like they're ready to go to NIMCO inside and out when the Orion Vs from the '90s are looking better... don't get me started) I don't know why there are over 300 of these things in the city. I wonder what life was like before the MetroCard - could you always drop the ~$1.00 fare in coins? What if you wanted to transfer from a bus to the subway and all you had on you was that dollar or so? I moved out of Queens at a very young age and never asked myself that.

Q43LTD Posted July 4, 2012 Share #1947 Posted July 4, 2012 I wonder since the Q52 timetable is merged with the Q53, is that foreshadowing the future of the 53? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmatechamp13 Posted July 4, 2012 Share #1948 Posted July 4, 2012 I wonder since the Q52 timetable is merged with the Q53, is that foreshadowing the future of the 53? What do you mean? I doubt the Q53 would ever be completely eliminated, considering right now, it's way more frequent than the Q52. They just did it for simplicity's sake, since they're both Woodhaven Blvd limiteds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
