Calvin Posted January 23, 2017 Share #19628 Posted January 23, 2017 For the B67 and B69? Yes, including the B35 (right by the F/G train station) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
contor Posted January 23, 2017 Share #19629 Posted January 23, 2017 Does the B6 at Coney Island Avenue and Avenue J count? I know there's one at the depot on Harway Avenue. That's not a relief point. It's just the turn around for the shot trips. Also there's the B36 relief up at Stillwell Ave and Surf Ave And the B74 at Stillwell Terminal (Mermaid Ave) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subwayfan12 Posted January 23, 2017 Share #19630 Posted January 23, 2017 Westchester Sq also serves as the relief point for the Bx8 and Bx31. Fordham Plaza for the Bx15 and Bx17 Pelham Bay for the Bx5/12/29 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubBus Posted January 24, 2017 Share #19633 Posted January 24, 2017 Got treated to a nice ride on 5167 (Q3), after getting off the train. Nice and toasty, little rattling, and no leakage...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted January 24, 2017 Share #19634 Posted January 24, 2017 No Anyways I found this on page 15 http://web.mta.info/mta/news/books/pdf/170123_1345_CPOC.pdf Also There was some other interesting stuff about new windows and new Driver side design for Nova buses. Dope so they have the layout of the new scheme for the Novas. Looks good Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewYorkElevated Posted January 24, 2017 Share #19635 Posted January 24, 2017 It seems the MTA is putting that theme on a lot of buses... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAlam Posted January 25, 2017 Share #19639 Posted January 25, 2017 Ok so next week I'm taking the Q30/31 to the Q44-SBS to the Bx40/42, any tips on getting 5987? download MTA's bus time app since they show the bus number. Also it's completely random as to where the bus will be so good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielhg121 Posted January 26, 2017 Share #19640 Posted January 26, 2017 I honestly haven't seen 5987, i wonder what they're doing to it. It is very sporadic, sometimes it will pop up and sometimes a wk of absence. All i can say is good luck catching it and the last time I saw it was monday of this week.

danielhg121 Posted January 26, 2017 Share #19642 Posted January 26, 2017 Quick question: if they have built up to 5990, then why do they only deliver one? Wouldnt it be easier and more efficient to deliver all of them? You can see if more problems arises from the buses.

R188 7857 Posted January 26, 2017 Share #19643 Posted January 26, 2017 Avoid Flushing at all cost the fire @ Roosevelt made everything a mess. I've never seen a bigger sh*tshow at Flushing. Took me 45 minutes on the Q44-SBS on a ride that would regularly take 15. Traffic on College Point Blvd and Northern Blvd was FUBAR. Buses were literally everywhere, you had Q65s on Union Street and NIS buses all over the place. It was definitely the worst rush hour I've ever seen/been through.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R10 2952 Posted January 26, 2017 Share #19644 Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) Does anyone remember why the MTA purchased those ex-Liberty/Bee Line Orion Vs? I remember riding them a few times after they showed up in 2009, but then most were retired by 2013. What was the point of purchasing used buses, not maintaining them, and retiring them after 4 years? Or was defying logic as usual?

What was the point of purchasing used buses, not maintaining them, and retiring them after 4 years? Or was defying logic as usual? The hand-me-downs that were sent to MTA Bus were in such shitty shape that they had to resort to buying buses from Bee Line, in which those buses were in way better shape than the old RTSs some of those depots received. A fleet shortage also contributed to this since they scrapped way more buses than they should've at the time. It didn't take long for those ex-Bee Line buses to fall under the terrible streets and bad maintenance problems.

It was definitely the worst rush hour I've ever seen/been through.. The problem was the shuttle service that was non existent for the first hour the shut down. At that time the LIRR was not cross honoring either. Dispatchers that were on college point just stopped any bus heading to the depo and told them to load up on passengers. Also the Q20 and Q44 where going all they way to Booth Memorial when Blossom was perfectly fine. Infact going through booth Memorial probably made it worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted January 26, 2017 Share #19649 Posted January 26, 2017 I wonder how the B100 ended up on Far Rockaway during Sundays and when did it start SC used to closed be on Sundays and the B100 was the only route that had Sunday Service, so they ran the route out of FR on Sundays rather than open SC depot just to run one route. Its started shortly after Command & Green Lines was taken over by the MTA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielhg121 Posted January 26, 2017 Share #19650 Posted January 26, 2017 I'm pretty sure they were built up to 5990 because I remember they put 5987-5990 on the ttmg roster and ENY said that only 5987 is on property.
