NewFlyer 230 Posted July 16, 2013 Share #151 Posted July 16, 2013 I remember when the Q32 was split between CS and MJQ it would be awesome to see an RTS on that line again. I remember when the Q25/Q34 and Q65 went to Jamaica 160th Street instead of the LIRR station. I remember when the B12 served Liberty Ave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hound Posted July 16, 2013 Share #155 Posted July 16, 2013 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 Staten Is. only had Macks & GM old looks.

North Shore Line Posted July 17, 2013 Share #162 Posted July 17, 2013 Nice videos. Unfortunately I never stuck around that long. Glad to see they were still going strong in '08. The RTS left SI because they were wrecked not going strong lol. Service on Yukon routes used to be so unpredictable back in the RTS days. I remember the Level II program for the 1999 Orion Vs around the time the S89 was introduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo19 Posted July 18, 2013 Share #171 Posted July 18, 2013 Is that why some buses had ii next to the bus number? Now that I honestly wouldn't know.

IRT Bronx Express Posted July 22, 2013 Share #175 Posted July 22, 2013 *Bx1 terminated at 138/Concourse before its extension to Mott Haven. *Bx2 had LTD service until 2010, ran via 165 St/Melrose, terminated at The Hub before its extension to Mott Haven. *Bx8 went to Country Club for 6 months in 2010. *Bx11 terminated at Freeman St until 1998. *Bx13's terminus was Yankee Stadium before going to 3 Av weekday mornings. *The Bx14 route. *Bx15 was entirely local until July 2013. *Bx16 had 2 branches until 2008. *Bx17 went to Pt Morris with the Bx33 until Sept 2005. *Bx20 ran weekdays and Sat until 2010. *Bx25 was the AM-only (i think) rush hour route until 2001 or 2002. *Bx26 went to Fordham Center everyday (no wonder the Bx28 didn't go there Sundays...), and Bedford Pk was a part-time terminal. *Bx31 terminated at Webster/233 until 2007. *Bx34 ran weekdays only b/w 2010-2013. *Bx39 terminated at Gun Hill Rd, and it was extended to Wakefield in 2010. *Bx41 went to Bruckner Bl/Alexander, later cut back to 136 St and then The Hub in 2001/2002. It also went to Wakefield until 2010. *Bx55 maps in bus stops pointing out the 161 St branch, even though it stopped going there sometime in 1995. They were replaced sometime last decade. Plus, the route itself went to Williamsbridge everyday until 2004, and evening/weekend services were removed in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
