Cait Sith Posted August 6, 2017 Share #21401 Posted August 6, 2017 Have there been orders from upper management to run Gun Hill's XD60's exclusively on the Bx22? I highly doubt that the drivers that are picking these buses randomly are covering the Bx22 when they do it. No. They've been on the Bx5(one is on there now), and the Bx12. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Via Garibaldi 8 Posted August 6, 2017 Share #21402 Posted August 6, 2017 No. They've been on the Bx5(one is on there now), and the Bx12. lol He's been noticing the same thing I've observed. They've primarily been on the Bx22 more than the Bx5 or the Bx12. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean all the way from 125th to 163rd? And just weekdays or weekends or both? I'm checking BusTime now, and it shows M101s running up Amsterdam. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted August 7, 2017 Share #21412 Posted August 7, 2017 Today I went to my old neighborhood (Flatbush) and saw an XN40 on the B11, so cool to see the new purple & yellow buses in my old hood, I got to catch one on the B8 now. Its still weird to see Nova Attics & XD40s in the junction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousNYLover Posted August 8, 2017 Share #21413 Posted August 8, 2017 Please note on September 2nd, buses might be schedule to detour due to largest Official Animal Rights March in NYC. My vegan friends told me police officers will be closing streets during the march since this is huge march than other parade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Future ENY OP Posted August 8, 2017 Share #21415 Posted August 8, 2017 I spotted 5364 with an interesting rear wrap while at JFK sometime last week. I'm guessing it may have something to do with the bus rodeo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S78 via Hylan Posted August 9, 2017 Share #21421 Posted August 9, 2017 To those who claimed low-floor buses "wouldn't last ten years", our oldest ones are now about 14 years old. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielhg121 Posted August 9, 2017 Share #21422 Posted August 9, 2017 I don't think they want to cover up the wrap/paint, it would be a waste for them to wrap/paint the buses and place ads all over it. Also 4140 from jfk also has one on the left side behind the drivers area. Sent from my iPad using NYC Transit Forums mobile app 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Via Garibaldi 8 Posted August 9, 2017 Share #21423 Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) To those who claimed low-floor buses "wouldn't last ten years", our oldest ones are now about 14 years old. I like the low floor buses. The only thing they need to work on going forward is the layout and the suspension. On the older low floor buses, you feel EVERY bump. It really hurts my back and I'm not an old guy, but boy do you feel it. I rode the M102 last Saturday from 8th street to 34th and 3rd for the BxM1, and the layout is better on those. I believe they repaved 3rd Avenue recently, so I didn't feel any major bumps. I actually sat down since the bus was pretty clean. The AC was good, and I like the way the seat layouts are in the middle of the bus as opposed to the older low floor buses. Charger worked as well. It was already a little dirty though, as in soot from the AC vents or something on one of the walls, but that's to be expected from Tuskegee. It was clean otherwise. I don't think they want to cover up the wrap/paint, it would be a waste for them to wrap/paint the buses and place ads all over it. Also 4140 from jfk also has one on the left side behind the drivers area. Sent from my iPad using NYC Transit Forums mobile app I agree. There are some passengers that hate the ads, especially the ones that block the windows. I don't like them either. I like to be able to look out of the window, and I also think it's not good from a safety standpoint. If someone is doing something on the bus, no one can really look inside unless the bus is stopped, otherwise, it's quite difficult to see in. I've heard some people actually complain to the driver about it, so surely some must file complaints officially.

danielhg121 Posted August 9, 2017 Share #21425 Posted August 9, 2017 Sry not ad, I meant a banner for the roadeo winner. Looking back, I could see how it could stir up some confusion.
