GojiMet86 Posted March 10, 2016 Share #627 Posted March 10, 2016 I don't actually have it, but sometimes whenever I think of things like this, it makes me feel like I have it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted March 10, 2016 Share #628 Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) What somebody SUGGESTS and what NYCT DOES are 2 completely different things. The bus fleet numbers are computerized, so it really doesn't make any difference. Just like fleet numbers of a certain model scattered amongst depots. It is not an issue to NYCT, it is only an issue to the bus fans. And what's an "OCD"? He's not being serious about it anyway. No need to get on his case.

NewFlyer 230 Posted March 12, 2016 Share #631 Posted March 12, 2016 Will existing buses such as the XD40's, LFS, and Orion VII's be wrapped too or is this wrapping just for future buses being delivered? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buses from the year 2011 and up are said to get this scheme. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Pond Posted March 13, 2016 Share #634 Posted March 13, 2016 Will this include the express bus coaches or not? They're getting their own (yet to be revealed, most likely similar) wrap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotham Bus Co. Posted March 13, 2016 Share #635 Posted March 13, 2016 They're getting their own (yet to be revealed, most likely similar) wrap. I would like to see the express coaches in a corresponding green scheme, to match the green of the bus stop placards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewYorkElevated Posted March 13, 2016 Share #636 Posted March 13, 2016 New Flyer DH60 "Galaxy" 5680 of Kingsbridge (on rare occasions) operates on the M100. I rode it on 8/8/2015. This also goes with a few of the XD60's at the depot (also on rare occasions). I actually rode on one of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick44 Posted March 13, 2016 Share #637 Posted March 13, 2016 Buses from the year 2011 and up are said to get this scheme. So they won't wrap the 1200's? I mean, that doesn't seem uniform. Ehh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B46 via Utica Posted March 13, 2016 Share #638 Posted March 13, 2016 I would like to see the express coaches in a corresponding green scheme, to match the green of the bus stop placards. Matching scheme and matching signs would look nice but the MTA should worry more about service and interior designs that won't have passengers cramped than about fashion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted March 13, 2016 Share #639 Posted March 13, 2016 So they won't wrap the 1200's? I mean, that doesn't seem uniform. Ehh.Honestly I expected the NGs to get this scheme too, as everything 2008 and up are able to be upgraded with said features, especially automated announcements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaTransitMan4608 Posted March 14, 2016 Share #641 Posted March 14, 2016 The M100 is well known to run artics on occasion It should be running them always. Not just on occasion. I honestly don't understand why it's not at least an 80% artic line. They would save a lot of money by making it one because that's less drivers you have to pay to follow each other for the whole route. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would save a lot of money by making it one because that's less drivers you have to pay to follow each other for the whole route. Most of the route's corridors isn't really that busy during the off-peak hours considering it follows busier routes like the Bx7, M101, M60 & Bx15. It may as well just merge with another route, for all we know.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bx1/2 is all artics, and even on those lines you'll see a 40' bus when an artic isn't available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bronx has most of the artics and the amount of bus swapping that's done and still not enough. (Small rant). Carry on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carry on. the shortage is due to maintenance and the age of the fleet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from Maspeth Posted March 15, 2016 Share #647 Posted March 15, 2016 Some of you have to understand when the fleet gets old they require more maintenance. The artic depots have a large number of beese which are beyond their useful service life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The artic depots have a large number of beese which are beyond their useful service life. Completely understand. My only concern is when Bronx Division maintenance doesn't take care of their buses, (in this case artics) than tend to borrow from other divisions to make score. Now that bus has decided to return artics back to NYCTA. I guess some of those will go to the Bronx. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason the D60HF's are returning is because JFK is getting those new XD40's. That will allow the remaining 1999/2000 D60HF's to retire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
