Gun Hill goes and trashes several brand new fleets of buses and then when they get trashed enough they send them to Brooklyn? NAh fam.. Keep that trash right in the bronx...Brooklyn has it bad enough we dont even have much artics worse off ran down crap from other depots.... I wonder what seems so difficult about ACTUALLY taking time to clean those buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, East New York won’t be artic ready until 2020/2021. By than those XD60 47xx buses would be 8 years old at the earliest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bx30 north of Gun Hill Road to just before the city line...Bee Line's 60, 61, and 62 are all open-door, although all services have an open-door policy. This is likely as a result of when the old Bx7 (pre-Bronx Division realignment) was discontinued. (Today's Bx7 was the M100 in the Bronx.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Brooklyn is nowhere near safe from that either....the borough has had brand new buses that's gotten trashed, and then they were sent elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missabassie Posted June 19, 2018 Share #23586 Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) Tuskeegee's buses look like hell lately (is that really anything new?) Either they're running then into the ground or they've already been run to hell and they're just finishing the job....

Missabassie Posted June 19, 2018 Share #23587 Posted June 19, 2018 I know, its the latter. I saw 5976 on the M101 a couple of weeks ago, it just had 76 on the front.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreeddekalbL Posted June 19, 2018 Share #23588 Posted June 19, 2018 Question, does mta have ability to activate a shuttle bus bridge in an emergency say if a certain line closed in a segment due to a person under train etc? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unwrapping process might of been rushed because the buses looked rough when the wraps came off the 5200's and 5900's at Quill, Tuskegee, and the Bronx. The scenario you mentioned is similar to the majority of the the unwrapped SBS units (missing number decals). Some in The Bronx came off way worse, like how the blue stripe of 5968 came off entirely once the SBS wrap was taken off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they do it all the time. They will grab anyone for overtime and pull buses off their runs for the shuttle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, he lives in Grasmere and would either have to take the S53 to the SIM6 or the SIM10 to a crosstown bus (because service between northern Hylan and East Midtown has been eliminated). Funny enough, I've seen comments about how people are going to go back to taking the ferry and it'll cost the MTA revenue, when that's exactly what the MTA wants (since on an absolute basis, express buses have a greater subsidy per passenger than local buses, especially peak express riders) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
