Lawrence St Posted August 19, 2018 Share #24176 Posted August 19, 2018 The shuttle buses to 180th St at 149th-GC is a complete mess. Express buses to 180th St are stopping at the local bus stop, local buses are skipping the stop they're suppose to stop at and instead stop at the Bx19 stop, just confusion all around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil 57 Posted August 19, 2018 Share #24177 Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) New SIM routes are on BusTime and the old X routes are gone. And the first SIM bus ever is... *Drumroll Please* Bus #2742 on the SIM1c. Edited August 19, 2018 by Lil 57 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coney Island Av Posted August 19, 2018 Share #24182 Posted August 19, 2018 Is there a chance that some express buses will still have the old codes for the "X" routes even though the new SIM routes just started running? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On rare occassions, CH will send out a 2013 or even a 2007 MCI. In fact, 4313 is currently on the SIM4c heading to Manhattan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I think a calstleton B/O wants to tryout all the new routes today. (2653 was on the SIM1c and that bus is now on the SIM2) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QM1to6Ave Posted August 19, 2018 Share #24196 Posted August 19, 2018 If it's Sunday, it must mean it's time for a QM B/O to play games. Claiming the bus isnt dropping off on 6th ave past 45th st. I had to point out the actual detour on the MTA site saying to only skip the stop near the VMAs at Radio City. Finally the B/O says "oh ok no problem" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of the express buses sat over the weekend so the fareboxes didn't get updated, which explains why ops were putting up the old signs. They're working on that rn. Better late than never, I suppose. 1 hour ago, Via Garibaldi 8 said: Wow...Sold indeed... It's easier work out and moving up in seniority is quick.

All of those B/Os calling out sick that live in NJ etc... lol This will be part of the new "re-design" as well... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted August 20, 2018 Share #24200 Posted August 20, 2018 Does CAS have a route similar to the old X10 which runs off peak and weekends? I always wanted to ride an Prevost on a CAS express route cause seeing such a raggedy depot like CAS have a fancy bus like the Prevost is pretty cool. My only two rides on the X10 were old MCIs near retirement age (which is enjoyed, don't get me wrong) Was gonna fan the X10 one last time but I just didn't feel like it. Also is it still only three SI express routes that run off peak and weekends? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
