N4 Via Merrick Rd Posted February 20, 2014 Share #701 Posted February 20, 2014 I thought the MTA said that BusTime was going to be city wide by the end of 2013? It was but you know how the likes to take their time doing things. Yea I was about to say... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted February 24, 2014 Share #704 Posted February 24, 2014 They really just made it one more week later than the date the B/Os said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojiMet86 Posted February 24, 2014 Share #705 Posted February 24, 2014 So I guess the old D60HF at JFK/FR will be getting BusTime then. Wonder if the Bees and Orion V CNGs will keep on rolling. The age of the bus is supposed to make a difference on whether or not BusTime will be installed on them, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-CT1660- Posted February 24, 2014 Share #707 Posted February 24, 2014 The Orion V CNG's and the Bees are NOT getting BusTime trackers installed on them so don't get your hopes up of being able to track them down via BusTime.... As for the D60's, they're most likely to have them installed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted February 24, 2014 Share #708 Posted February 24, 2014 Maybe not, I know that the Bees at Eastchester do not have GPS trackers. The Orion V CNG's and the Bees are NOT getting BusTime trackers installed on them... As for the D60's, they just might. They have them. They aren't live.

-CT1660- Posted February 24, 2014 Share #709 Posted February 24, 2014 They have them. They aren't live. I dunno if they're gonna go live considering they're on the verge of being scrapped....at least for the 9800's and 9905..(i personally hope they don't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't matter that much anyway because all together its about 14 or 15 buses in total and those RTS's from 1996 have another year to stay. I think the order coming up for NYCT is going to bump the 1998 and 199 RTS's to MTA Bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QM1to6Ave Posted February 24, 2014 Share #712 Posted February 24, 2014 Finally! Can't wait to be able to track my buses in Queens. I still can't understand why they replaced all the Q46 guide-a-rides last week when they will have to come back and put out new signs with all the bustime tracking info in 2 weeks.

I think the order coming up for NYCT is going to bump the 1998 and 199 RTS's to MTA Bus. 1. The Orion V CNGs and Ex-Beeline Vs have the tech installed. The Bees will definitely have them up and running. As for the CNGs, can't say for sure. 2. The order coming up (the 690) will knock off everything between 1996-1998 and the 1998-1999 Orion Vs.

Orion VII 4 Life Posted February 25, 2014 Share #714 Posted February 25, 2014 Oh yeah I was wrong huh... So I guess the old D60HF at JFK/FR will be getting BusTime then. Wonder if the Bees and Orion V CNGs will keep on rolling. The age of the bus is supposed to make a difference on whether or not BusTime will be installed on them, right?Everything at JFK and basically everything else in BK and Qns has the equipment. Some of the D60s already had it though for a while coming from the Bx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the order coming up for NYCT is going to bump the 1998 and 199 RTS's to MTA Bus. Curious: do any of the D60HFs from 1999 that were at 126 Street have it (i.e., 1300) or were the ones that had it but were renumbered reprogrammed with their new numbers (that is, 1026 doesn't show up as 5508)? I also will be surprised if bus 1306 gets BusTime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also will be surprised if bus 1306 gets BusTime.JFK's D60HF's are getting them because they will run on the Q10 for a while. I am very surprised with the ex beeline Orion's because I was figuring there are only 11 of them in service they probably wouldn't get them but I was wrong.

QM1to6Ave Posted March 9, 2014 Share #721 Posted March 9, 2014 Finally have bustime for my Queens routes! They didn't get around to putting in new guide-a-rides yet, but the online and texting systems are working just fine. To be honest, I expected it to not actually work today, so I'm pleasantly surprised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted March 9, 2014 Share #722 Posted March 9, 2014 Looked up the B44 local out of morbid curiosity, was not disappointed That's crazy bunching southbound. And northbound 2 buses on the whole nostrand/NY ave? That's crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousNYLover Posted March 9, 2014 Share #723 Posted March 9, 2014 MTA bus time started early for rest of area. Soon I was on MNRR and Q32 bus pop out when I did 5th Av/41st St. I wish they do "Next Bus Arrives in ... min instead of ....miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojiMet86 Posted March 9, 2014 Share #724 Posted March 9, 2014 So far, I haven't seen any Bees or the old D60HF on BusTime. Surprised to see nothing but Orions on the Q10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
