Future ENY OP Posted September 18, 2018 Share #24427 Posted September 18, 2018 Got a chance to drive through the new 2 lane traffic on Glenwood Road. However, construction between East 101 and Williams Avenue is really messing things up. Hopefully this will be done before October 1st. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably check it over the weekend; not putting up with the Southern State & Belt on the drive home to stop off just for that... SMH, construction.... Speaking of which, are they done with (whatever it is they've been working on for years now) along Flatlands over there by the Breukelen Houses? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Future ENY OP Posted September 19, 2018 Share #24430 Posted September 19, 2018 Spotted 4594 (FB) with a driver side wrap this morning. It appears that these wraps are slowly coming to Brooklyn and The Bronx. I know the express bus depots and Manhattan have these wraps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted September 19, 2018 Share #24431 Posted September 19, 2018 Random thought of the day: La Guardia's Maintenance manager needs his whole ass whipped. I did a Service & Maintenance eval on the Q52/53, and I don't think I have ever been that disgusted with a depots maintenance, or lack there of I should say. In my 10 years plus of being a transit consultant, this is just insane. Transit is going to have a heart attack when they get those XD60's back from LG. The shit is about to hit the fan. If I were in charge of fleet ops, I would make LG keep them and take all of their new ones. JK is doing a much better job. 80% of LG's don't even look like they have been cleaned all year. On top of trash maintenance, they are 5 buses short for the Q53, and act as if it's going to kill someone to replace them with hybrids or XD40's. I would rather have a standard bus than no bus at all, and I'm sure customers would feel the same way. What type of stupid ass shit are they allowing over there? Just when I think LG is getting better they prove to me its still Triboro Coach Corp wrapped in MTA Blue. Definitely time for East New York to step in..... 🤬 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely time for East New York to step in..... 🤬 i would bet money that i haven't even made yet, that LG has subscribed to the Bronx division theory of "we're getting new(er) buses in a few years anyway, so let's beat the dog s**t outta what we have and run 'em into the ground". i must agree wholeheartedly that the JFK buses look significantly better kept than LaGuardia's. it seems as if LG doesn't even run those artics thru the bus wash. to be completely honest, i thought JFK was going to treat the TA loaners like utter s**t. but i must say, one thing I've noticed regarding the artic fleet/spare factor is if a b/o pulls in with say bus #6070 at 3pm, by 4pm that bus is back out on another run. damn-near all their artics are out there most of the work day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree lol. No doubt they are getting worked hard, but it's no excuse for some of these buses to look like the only time they get water is when it rains. The SBS wrap is peeling off some of them. Many of them have rear end damage from tail-swing. I have also noticed that on 2 occasions now JK has sent XD60's to ENY for maintenance/maintenance training. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got on one last week around 5 PM towards Rockaway Park, the ENTIRE bus was filled with trash, soda cans, newspaper, spills, oh my god the floor was so sticky. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
