trainfan22 Posted September 23, 2011 Share #151 Posted September 23, 2011 I been wondering the same thing... I also have yet to see the old C40s that went to SC run on the B103.. I believe those six C40s are there though, probably only for training. The fact that they took six buses from Gleason and didn't replace them with anything kinda ticked me off though, as I've been flagged quite a few times these past few days on a JG route I commute on... makes you wonder.. I mean damn they could at least gave JG some hybrids while they was borrowing the c40s for training or whatever SC is using them for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does JG losing 6 C40s have to do with you being flagged a few times? BTW, if you were flagged, it may've been filled to capacity. We're authorized to do this.

Because maybe they can't make service due to not having enough buses? thus missing runs and you get the idea... And I know the reason why B/O flag people, the buses WAS filled to captivity, LF buses ftl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 6 buses aren't anything to complain about. Let's see when those 6 buses return or replaced with different units if you're still being flagged. I'm sure the runs are covered and the buses are full, and you're just assed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transit bx Posted November 7, 2011 Share #157 Posted November 7, 2011 Spotted bus number 204 as I'm dead heading towards flushing on the whitestone today, it looks like it was heading to CP, this was around 2 n some change. Maybe ENY,knightrider or CPBO can relate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe ENY,knightrider or CPBO can relate. College Point is to get the first 45 (#185-229) from what I understand. The reason I'm thinking as to why...have you seen those Orion 05.501 CNG buses? UGH! Some of them could use some duct tape BUT that won't even help. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted November 13, 2011 Share #175 Posted November 13, 2011 Finally! My body is ready for when these buses come to either JG or SC, whatever depot is first! I'm still pissed WF is supposed to get more buses than JG and they have a newer fleet and there getting new Novas too, that's BS man :tdown: WF is getting like 56 and JG is getting 34... come on.
