StevenFrancis Posted November 28, 2012 Share #1 Posted November 28, 2012 I guess riders of the Bx23 Co-Op City Loop line have been getting comfortable rides recently because recently I've seen the cruiser buses on the Bx23 line, and for those who live in Co-Op City should've also seen this, as a surprise, they all came out after Sandy, I wonder why they are operating on a local line not an express line?

SevenEleven Posted November 28, 2012 Share #3 Posted November 28, 2012 Eastchester has been short on buses for a while now. They've been sending out MCIs even before Sandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted November 28, 2012 Share #6 Posted November 28, 2012 I don't understand why ECH Storage buses always go to LGA/ENY (RTSes) or Staten Island (MCIs) when you've got Eastchester often short up there. Makes for some interesting rides, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted November 28, 2012 Share #7 Posted November 28, 2012 I don't understand why ECH Storage buses always go to LGA/ENY (RTSes) or Staten Island (MCIs) when you've got Eastchester often short up there. Makes for some interesting rides, I guess. There was about 1-2 buses from EC that were sent down to S.I to make up for service. 6253 with EC decals is in S.I along with another.

Princelex Posted November 28, 2012 Share #12 Posted November 28, 2012 It seems like it happens during the rush hours. I rode one a couple of weeks ago on the Bx23 and it was weird but cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo19 Posted November 28, 2012 Share #15 Posted November 28, 2012 Primarily the 7400s. Honestly I thought those were gone and only today found out they were still in service. I should have expected they would be thrown out there most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen expresses on the Q19 two times (just weeks apart (no joke)) so I wouldnt be that surprised if one did show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just MCI's in general, they only have 3 EX-NYBS Mci's at E.C. They have 101 MCI Cl's but I saw 7425 on the BX23 & the Q50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Via Garibaldi 8 Posted November 29, 2012 Share #23 Posted November 29, 2012 So they're short because they're giving all of their local buses away to other depots? I ask that because they supposedly have pretty good maintenance so is that the only reason or are their local buses failing as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted November 29, 2012 Share #25 Posted November 29, 2012 They also have pretty old buses. I personally think the should rethink how they go about calculating the average age of buses each depot has because one problem with Eastchester is their express bus fleet isn't terribly old with some being from 2007 and the buses are well kept, but the average age for the local buses (since they don't have that many) is high, but with them putting the fleet of the express buses with the local buses, the average age doesn't look terrible when in fact they have some aging local buses.
