Did someone file a complaint or a move by MTA to not to put Ads on the front anymore ? P.S saw a couple NGs like that also.. Is this supposed to be a bad thing? I always remember the RTS's with Georgi Ads on the back of the bus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobtehpanda Posted February 17, 2018 Share #22528 Posted February 17, 2018 I guess to clarify what I said earlier - I never have really seen the interior ad panels on buses used all that much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they did a trial of that a few years ago. Remember seeing some inside ads on East New York buses and Manhattan Division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its only going to snow until like 4 or 5 in the morning anyway. Edited February 17, 2018 by Kingsbridgeviewer382 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted February 18, 2018 Share #22532 Posted February 18, 2018 Might seem like a small thing, but it would be nice if they added two grab poles with stop buttons on the last pair of double seats in the rear section of the LFS/LFSA. Nothing to grab when getting up or sitting down. Would also be nice to have a set of stop requested buttons on each side for convenience. Seems like something that has been missing, and can help with crowds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted February 18, 2018 Share #22533 Posted February 18, 2018 6815 was showing up on bustime even though the bus had broken down and had a tow truck behind it. I seen one of the most boneheaded accidents today, a truck literary backed itself right into an hybrid from Jamaica working the A shuttle, I mean the truck didn't see the bus in his rearview mirror? they was like 10 feet apart before the truck started backing up. It was a low speed collision and there was no damage to the bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Train92 Posted February 18, 2018 Share #22534 Posted February 18, 2018 For some reason, GH put the new XD60's on the Bx12, Bx40, Bx41, and Bx42. Happy hunting! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brillant93 Posted February 18, 2018 Share #22535 Posted February 18, 2018 I hope whenever all door boarding goes live for the mta they could have tap cards for the back and front of the bus. When I was in Vegas they had that but for the smartphone app for their buses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember many years ago on the Q44 back when Casey Stengel was all Orion V's a car backed up slowly and touched the bumper of the bus and we were all told to get off and wait for the next bus because that one is out of service. The bus stayed there too and I guess waited for whoever comes and handles the situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brillant93 Posted February 19, 2018 Share #22541 Posted February 19, 2018 Even at 8pm on a Sunday night the mta can’t run the B41 right. Traffic isn’t bad and yet buses are bunched the other direction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted February 19, 2018 Share #22542 Posted February 19, 2018 When the Mytrle Av viaduct is completed later on this spring, I'm wondering if the XD-60s at Grand Av will head to MJQ to bump off the D60HFs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what may happen, and this ISN'T A DEFINITE, but the #1200 Novas are coming out of SBS Service since the New 2017 Nova LFSA'S are coming in. The New Novas would go to the SBS routes while the older novas would replace the current D60HF's, hence allowing them to retire. I see the D60HF's getting "hand me downs' of older buses and not fairly new XD60's, although that would be nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJQ isn’t slated to have to have any XD60s. The ones they have are temp assigned. The depots that will have them permenatly are Casey, Tuskegee, and ENY. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm not mistaken those buses will be heading down Broadway to East New York... Pending complete construction of artic bays. Of course, all of this is subject to change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No schedule to show when it runs. Edited February 19, 2018 by Via Garibaldi 8 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that they expect people to use bustime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard of long waits at least for one bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a special MLK Day/Day After Thanksgiving schedule which basically shows hourly service. I guess the MTA is too lazy to add Presidents Day to this schedule. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
