R188 7857 Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share #1 Posted October 9, 2011 Just riding the Bx12 SBS when my bus broke down at the Fordham Rd. train station. But not only did it brake down, all the power on that bus was gone. We almost got trapped on the bus! Luckily, the driver opened the door and then the bus shut down. There was nothing they could do! You can't even turn on the lights on the thing....All the power and I mean ALL the power was just gone.. The next bus was already crush loaded, and my bro and mom got a seat. I got some shots by my bro, but posting them next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted October 9, 2011 Share #3 Posted October 9, 2011 A LSFA broke down on me on the BX12 as well a while back, the bus had a door issue though, not surprising considering that the rear doors on those buses be getting beat-downs.. Of all the times I ridden buses, a bus only broke down on me once.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R188 7857 Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share #7 Posted October 10, 2011 Those Novas are BEAT UP...and when I say beat up I mean it. Dried gum on windows, heaps of scrachitti, garbage at the rear window, etc. etc. Edit : To add on to that, I find Gun Hill Nova LFSA's more beat up than 126 Nova LFSA's.

I'm not surprised this happened considering Gun Hill's terrible maintenance. Side Note:126th street Nova LFS-A's are not really beat-up, except for 1239, 1268, and 1272, other then that 126th street Nova's are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz Posted October 10, 2011 Share #11 Posted October 10, 2011 That happens all the time. All u gotta do is turn off the main power switch and wait for 5 minutes. It's usually all good after that. And even if the driver couldn't get the doors open before the shutdown, all they have to do is pull out the air dump valve and the front doors will b able to open manually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acela Express Posted October 20, 2011 Share #17 Posted October 20, 2011 And even if the driver couldn't get the doors open before the shutdown, all they have to do is pull out the air dump valve and the front doors will b able to open manually That's the basic way; and if all else failed with the doors, then you could've broken the emergency handle to release the door pressure that way.

alejr88 Posted October 25, 2011 Share #18 Posted October 25, 2011 With all the teenage kids and many people boarding the (Bx12) SBS, idiots take time to mess up the buses and they are not old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the bus can't be fixed on the spot, they'll tell the driver to go back to the depot and the tow truck will come (eventually) and pick it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
