QM1to6Ave Posted June 13, 2011 Share #27 Posted June 13, 2011 Finally, the (Q46) is fun again! Finally was able to ride an NG on it. This is almost as good as when they ran the museum buses on it during Christmas time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4P3607 Posted June 13, 2011 Share #28 Posted June 13, 2011 Hybrid Orion VII #6592 from East New York was on the Q88 last Saturday! I also spotted 5168 from Jamaica on there as well. From what I heard and saw, the following depots are lending their buses to QV: -Casey Stengel -Flatbush -Jamaica -Manhattanville -East New York Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7LineFan Posted June 13, 2011 Share #31 Posted June 13, 2011 Just based on this thread, I wonder what I'll get when I ride the 88 tomorrow and Wednesday... saw both an OG and an NG on it yesterday and tried to photograph but they turned out really bad...

+Young+ Posted June 17, 2011 Share #34 Posted June 17, 2011 First of all, I follow the subways more than the buses, so what does RTS stand for? (Again, I'm into the subways more and not the buses). Second, I was riding the Q30 on 6/11, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I saw a few Queens Village Buses on that route. Based on what I read in this thread, does that mean that some of the QV buses are going to other depots as well (eg Jamaica)? Third, are bus drivers allowed to wear doo-rags? My bus driver on the Q30 was wearing one under his blue hat. I apologize that this question does not fit this thread, in my opinion, it just didn't make sense to start a new thread for this one question.

Rapid Transit Series bus, (the rounded edges kind of models) 2. Yes I saw 9010 on the Q30 the other day and have heard things...it seems they're being loaned all over as 9355 or something and another bus were loaned to a depot in Brooklyn.

QM1to6Ave Posted June 17, 2011 Share #36 Posted June 17, 2011 Anybody remember a bunch of years back, probably almost 10 years ago, another really hot summer where QV got a bunch of diesel Orion 5's? I remember riding them on the Q46 for a few weeks one summer when I was pretty young, and thought it was so cool, but then they all disappeared. I assume a similar switch/loan happened back then to, but I was way too young to have known why it was happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such great rides besides the RTS's and gave me a new denfition of sound. I hated to see them go in late '05-early '06. I believe they were: 505-534 (shortened down to #524 a while after) to & 612-624. The last one I saw was a 51X series on the (Q2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
