BreeddekalbL Posted May 8, 2018 Share #1776 Posted May 8, 2018 What makes the XDE order behind schedule? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future ENY OP Posted May 8, 2018 Share #1777 Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) Would 7616 & 7617 head to Flatbush since they are ready and wrapped for SBS service? Will the allotments change for Bush and East New York change as a result of the SBS82 being postponed? Noticed that 9503 is still at the facility and hasn't been delivered over to Grand Avenue. I'm only guessing that GA is making room thus getting rid of some 40xx buses and presumably some RTS to make room for the XDE's? Correct?

That’s just a rumor going around , The MTA nor the DOT did not confirm the B82 is being postponed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will that 7/6/18 deadline go thru? Also, there's no construction on Penn Avenue in regards to bus lanes and Canarsie is a total mess right now with the East 108th Street construction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The machine stands are up along the route from Penn ave to east 80th street but the machine themselves aren't even up and this was before they postponed it. Construction around canarise has been on going since the new year and most likely not sbs related. On Penn ave they scratched up the street markings so the updated street designs is on its way at some point. They're redoing the pedestrian islands on Kings hwy and flatbush avenue so thats really about it when it comes down to actual construction for the B82 sbs unless they still have crospey avenue with a hole dug up. But even with the pace they're working I highly doubt they would have meet a July deadline even if it wasn't postponed. But yeah the MTA even said it themselves they postponed it since I emailed them. They're working with the community so at this point we don't know anything besides the ones who call the shots. But whatever happens, happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted May 9, 2018 Share #1783 Posted May 9, 2018 Honestly if B82 was going to start SBS in July, it would have been in the last round of proposed changes along with the M4 cut. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the B82 sbs was going to be delayed anyway. The construction they’re even doing is taking way too long. Even for the stops along the B46 sbs that they’re redoing is taking them a month to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the allotments were to change, that would mean the bus numbers the other depots would get would also be changed. Right now, East NY is still going to get 7588 - 7626 and FB will get 7667-7714. There has been no change in the allotments yet. I will assume that they will enter service soon and spend at least 4 months on the other East NY local routes local routes (assuming the B82 SBS is postponed to September). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can just swap the allotments of ENY and Flatbush. Its no big deal... If they were to change it: (48) Flatbush 7588-7635 (20) Fresh Pond 7636-7655 (20) Grand Av 7656-7675 (39) ENY 7676-7714 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do feel that they can make the SBS buses spend 4 months in local service before they launch it. Besides, how many months do buses wrapped for SBS spend running on local routes before the actual SBS service begins? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil 57 Posted May 13, 2018 Share #1788 Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) Things I've noticed at Castleton Depot (New York City Transit) Buses 7056 & 7067 have the " Bus" logo on them. Bus 7055 just has the "" logo on it, like on the Cuomo scheme buses. Bus 7030 has no logos at all and just a blue stripe.

It's like if they had kids repainting some of these buses. If a simple white Bus with a Blue Stripe isn't properly painted, I would Imagine the Cuomo scheme buses once their time would come.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the logos peel off or are peeled off. I do believe they also repainted the 3Gs at College Point and Zerega hence why some buses have MTA Bus logos (though maybe they just didnt have enough of the NYC Bus stickers)... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

College Point and any other depot with a paint booth will paint sections or panels on buses as after an accident repair. Scheduled overhaul painting is done exclusively at Zerega and Grand Ave CMF (mostly at grand ave cmf). Even buses overhauled at ENY go to grand for paint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I'm sure that's totally true for NYCT - but I've also noticed JK and LG buses (Usually RTS' and the Old Gens) get their scheduled overhaul painting done in ENY, usually in the summer, the last 3 summers I've noticed it. So does MTA bus have two different depots doing their overhaul paintings? And that overhaul painting isn't just painting for some buses right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
