I remember when... bus edtion

[via White Plains Road]

I remember when I got a Artic on the Bx31

 

Do you mean this:p

 

[IRT Bronx Express]

I am going to have to disagree with you there. They've always had that wrong on the map. Being from that area, the Bx31 always layed over on Webster and 233 Street right in front of the Bronx River Pkwy exit. That was the last and first stop. I have noticed it on the map before but never understood why it showed the terminal way down there at Nereid.

Okay, I took a look at an old timetable, and you're right. The map itself has other minor errors as well, so I'll have to stick with the timetables..

[S79 Select bus servi]

In the subway's first 50 years, its fares remained 5 cents. 

Less than a decade ago, fares increased from $1.50 to $2.50

(they can now raise it every 2 years)

The Bx52 to Orchard Beach

The Bx16 being Split into to branches. Mundy Lane and Ropes ave before it was combined into one

The Bx23 (Which the 8 serve the sourthern part of that route)

[BM5 via Woodhaven]

I remember when I took the Bx46 and B84... lol

[BreeddekalbL]

I remember when the M6 and m7 used to go on broadway before bloomberg did that stupid pedestrian plaza. 

[Turbo19]

I remember when the borough of Staten Island only had two operating depots, Castleton and Yukon.

I remember when the local bus fleet of the aforementioned depots was 90% Orion V's, with the few RTS' at Castleton being the exception.

i remember when the local buses like the orion and the RTS did express service

[Turbo19]

Yep, me too. Castleton had some suburban Orion V's in addition to some MCI's. I was slightly biased to the Orion V's, LOL even though the MCI's were generally cleaner.

 

Continuing, I remember the S74 and S78 prior to the opening of Bricktown.

 

I remember the now discontinued S60 and S67.

 

Lastly I remember Triboro Coach as the last operating private line. I thought it was awesome to have ridden an old RTS on the Q33 as my last trip in NYC.

[bobtehpanda]

I remember when the X51 existed.

[Cait Sith]

I remember when the M6 and m7 used to go on broadway before bloomberg did that stupid pedestrian plaza. 

 

That was also when the M6 had decent ridership, once that pedestrian plaza shit came through, ridership took a nose dive....

[XcelsiorBoii4888]

I remember when Xcelsiors ran on Castleton routes...I won't forget that

[Cait Sith]

I remember when the Orion V ruled Castleton, LOL. None of this BT&E crap.

Not even two years yet, LMAO!

I remember when the Orions(6000s) started to come to Staten Island and the island was predominantly RTSs! I hated them so much when they were brand new since I loved the GMC/TMC RTSs a lot more back then, always was and will be an RTS person lol.

LOL, it's all good man. Towards '04-'05 the RTS' were being pushed out. I think the last RTS I rode in Staten Island was a #9400 on the S74.

[Jdog14]

- RTSs on the B8 and B35

- Q35 was using Green Lines Orion V's and GMC RTS's (I think)

- Southbound B44s used to stop at New York Ave and Church Ave

- When the Orion VII OG CNG's were brand new to JG

- ZF RTSs at Flatbush Depot

- MCI D4500s on the S79

- Riding 5941 on the Q7 last year

- No bus bays at Kings Plaza

[MTA Bus]

I remember when there was:

 

No MTA Bus

A lot more Orion V CNGs

The PBLs

A lot more RTS (both NYCTA & PBLs)

A much more diverse fleet.

[BM5 via Woodhaven]

I remember when the M60 didnt exist

I remember when the Q21 was extended to Elmhurst (I have the old schedule, if anyone wants pics of it PM me)

I remember when the QM21 had reverse peak service to Manhattan PM hours.

[Fresh Pond]

I remember when there was no QM25 and it was (unofficially) called the QM24W

[BM5 via Woodhaven]

Oh yes, I still refer to it as the QM24W.

My last rides were on the S61 and S79 respectively.

Nice videos. Unfortunately I never stuck around that long. Glad to see they were still going strong in '08.
