Via Garibaldi 8 Posted April 3, 2011 Share #2 Posted April 3, 2011 Today when I reported for work a next gen hybrid bus #3966 from castleton depot was parked in front of the depot.this is the first of more to come from castleton depot. Will these buses be cleaned up at all? What I mean is will they be actually cleaned inside and and get a good washing?? Castleton is know for filthy buses, so they should be cleaned if at all possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R42 M Train Posted April 3, 2011 Share #8 Posted April 3, 2011 A POS depot giving beat up POS buses to another POS depot which doesn't know how to maintain shit. Makes perfect sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted April 3, 2011 Share #9 Posted April 3, 2011 A POS depot giving beat up POS buses to another POS depot which doesn't know how to maintain shit. Makes perfect sense I disagree completely, Fresh Pond does know how to take care of some of their RTSs, their recent batch came from 126th Street which has been maintained quite well. Castleton had those 3900s for the longest and the streets beat the hell outta them buses. Fresh Pond also gotta deal with streets that beat up their fleet too, every depot gotta deal with that mess! I was out at S.I for a few days and their 3900s were in good shape. It's gonna suck seeing those 3900s in Brooklyn, I would've liked to seen the higher 4000s get booted instead.

Nova RTS 9147 Posted April 3, 2011 Share #11 Posted April 3, 2011 B38 metro route is grand ave.which is now the depot I work at since I was bumped out of Fp. When was this? IIRC the B38 has always been out of FP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenEleven Posted April 3, 2011 Share #12 Posted April 3, 2011 When was this? IIRC the B38 has always been out of FP. Could have been done today as today is the start of Spring Pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill from Maspeth Posted April 3, 2011 Share #14 Posted April 3, 2011 Fair enough. The Seneca Ave. branch of the B38 remains at FP, while the Metropolitan Ave. branch goes to Grand Ave. We need observations of beese transfered from FP to GA because of this transfer of responsibility.

Aside the NGs being new buses, why are they even sent to SI when the streets tears them up? Shouldn't SI have only HF buses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes perfect sense Boy I should kick you...and you live right there by bthe depot B) But the Pond isn't that bad, its that them RTS are old and they were breaking down faster than they can be fixed...the negative effect of having a skeleton crew EDIT...didn't see the sarcasm lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of them are in bad shape and they need new buses and by new I mean brand new. I was hoping for LFS or XDE40 but oh well.

I'll learn to like the NGs hopefully Lol any RTS they got that isn't a 95xx is of retirement age anyway...and I was hoping for the XDE40s too but they got bumped out the "Big 3" (the 3 depots that needes new buses the most) by Castleton I'll never love those NGs, but I'll get used to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted April 4, 2011 Share #23 Posted April 4, 2011 You guys probably won't love the NGs, but you'll get used to them [i have after like 3 years now]. Also they run pretty well. I still hate the seat layout at the back where the seats are facing inward than towards the front like in the older hybrids and CNG models. I would assume its mostly political, S.I didnt have any new buses for their local fleet since 1998-99. Good point. Though, if the roads are 'hostile' to lf buses, then SI should be running only HF buses or run the LFs on roads that are more 'flat/smooth'. This PC bs just messes stuff up.

I been taking them since they got in (when Flatbush got the 1st batch when I was in HS and almost every day and night on the M16 & Q67) and I'm not that fond of them. The only thing I like about them is the first 2 seats on the upper level when I can dangle my feet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJW5110 Posted April 4, 2011 Share #25 Posted April 4, 2011 Wouldn't you know it? I leave Fresh Pond for Grand, and now they get NexGen 7's AFTER I left, LOL. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
