They can’t make the trips or they are being strained? Look who’s taking the Brooklyn Division buses. (The Bronx). and they cry about not having buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Brooklyn in return short on buses then the Bronx should take them from boroughs that can spare them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully when Gun Hill and Kingsbridge get their LFSA’s some of those buses can make that journey back to Brooklyn. But yet again, Brooklyn will always be short. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my knowledge Gun Hills newer LFSA were to help retire their old artics while pushing their original sbs LFSA into local service. West Farms on the other hand I believe were supposed to get Flatbushes LFSA. But being how the Bx36 is becoming converted into artics i'm not sure if that will bring back those brooklyn xd40s. Unless they receive some of those XD40s that were going to be used for the L train shuttle? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shuttle wasn't going to last the lifetime of the buses lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think BK is short on buses, they would just keep the old RTS in service in the meantime until the XD40s come back to retire them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted January 10, 2019 Share #2759 Posted January 10, 2019 8 hours ago, Just New York said: The 36 is good defiantly no space for the 36, 100 should be at FB also but the space is limited and the MTA Bus thing. The ENY\SC situation can be so much better there is space for a least 2 to 3 more local routes. SC - B13, 14, 84, 103, Q7, 8, BM1-4 IMO the B6 should also be at Spring Creek (as long as SC can handle artics for a potential B6 SBS) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimategamer12c Posted January 10, 2019 Share #2762 Posted January 10, 2019 Oh yes how could I forget the B15 it can also run from FB as well as a tripper but hopefully when mta bys and Nyct merge they can look into getting trippers like those routes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but I don’t think spring creek can handle the frequencies the B6 has. It’s a very heavy line and spring creek already has the 103 which is another heavy line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to ride the former on the M31 and M57 all the time and the latter ones on the M79. 59 minutes ago, Train92 said: IIRC all the 1998s are retired. There are about 65 D60s left. Guys calm down. While I'm saddened to hear this news (the 1996s were my favorite RTS of all time and spent the past few months dedicated to chasing the last of them down), there are still plenty of 1998 RTS models roaming around, mostly at Jamaica. Flatbush, and ENY. The D60HFs can still hold on until the end of the year, but they will definitely be retired by 2020. The 1996s also highly surpassed their retirement, and the fact that they lived to almost see 23 years of service is insane. I'd say the best thing to fan would be the Orion VII CNG as they will definitely be gone by February. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
