Bus - What If?


Gorgor

Recommended Posts

So here's a more tactical one...

 

There's a fire at Quill overnight. All the workers and operators are fine, but 250 of their 270 buses are lost, with the exception of a handful of LFSAs and NGs that were in service at the time. 

 

How do you make service on the Quill lines the next few days before loaners from SEPTA and NJT can be brought in?

Bring in spare buses from every available depot and see what can be used from Eastchester. Expect delays on every route out of Quill

Borrow extra buses from other NYCT Bus, MTA Bus Depot, and Bee-Line Bus Depot.

Borrow spare buses from NJT Bus, CT Transit, spared ADA accessible charter bus and cross honor MetroCard passengers, well as NY Waterway Bus.

 

What if entire MTA Bus/Subway, SIR when on another strike?

What will be your contigency plan.

Simple, no buses run, and use the subways where available.

 

All Bee Line Buses and Nice Buses would run open door.

-NICE and Bee-Line are not a part of the MTA. By your guidelines they would be unaffected.

 

Solution:

-Extend NICE routes further into Queens and extend Bee-Line routes into the Bronx and some into Manhattan.

-Wait until the strike is over.

Robert F Kennedy Bridge is closed for renovations

Buses affected

M60

BxM6

BxM7

BxM8

BxM9

BxM10

BxM11

BxM18

(Wards Island extension is still in use, M35 is unaffected)

Every bus uses 3/Willis/Madison Avs/Washington Bridges

 

...save for the M60. No way in hell you can have that bus use any other bridge and the backtrack distance would be too great.

 

LGA to Astoria Blvd, and Bway/106 to 125 St/1 Av. You want LGA service, use the train to the Q70
