Via Garibaldi 8 Posted July 12, 2012 Share #177 Posted July 12, 2012 When will they be able to convert miles to minutes? I don't think that'll be for a while. I've been in talks with the MTABus Time team and right now I think their main focus is on getting the system up and running across the five boroughs. I've e-mailed them about making certain tweaks and they've indicated to me that they try to prioritize things and what is most important to them is making sure that Bus Time is working on the buses that should have them. As time goes on of course I would expect them to make certain improvements and build upon the system they've created. From my understanding this system isn't as limited as previous ones that the has tried out, especially since it was created in house, making it more "suitable" to the 's needs. That's one reason why they switched the M34 lines over to Bus Time. More potential to fine tune it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted September 18, 2012 Share #185 Posted September 18, 2012 Hostile, chile! The whole fleet will be equipped soon enough so it's no use worrying. And I'm looking forward to that DD11 myself, should be an interesting combination with the Allison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody was around zerega everyday since it got there stalking it. Somebody followed it to the depot when it was being delivered. Its just a bus with a different engine to me. I can wait for it to come out here to brooklyn , it'd just be my luck if i go to staten island and look for it and its not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Sith Posted September 18, 2012 Share #191 Posted September 18, 2012 Did you deadass bring up a dead thread for 1 simple bus? A good question that we'll never find the legitimate answer to. With that said. Laters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alekr Posted October 5, 2012 Share #194 Posted October 5, 2012 I have a question: Since the Bronx is recieving bustime does this include the Q44 and the Q50? Both of them goes to the Bronx or this counts as a Queens bus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted October 5, 2012 Share #196 Posted October 5, 2012 Naa its based on the depot... No it's based on the borough. Since the Q44 and Q50 have a "Q" in front of their numbers, they are considered Queens routes, even though they also serve the Bronx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsbridge Bus Posted October 5, 2012 Share #197 Posted October 5, 2012 No it's based on the borough. Since the Q44 and Q50 have a "Q" in front of their numbers, they are considered Queens routes, even though they also serve the Bronx. I'm wondering the same thing for the M100 since the M100 is out of Kingsbridge, will it receive it or will some of the buses at KB not get bus time. As for the release date of Bus Time in the Bronx, IIRC I heard it would be within the last two weeks of this month but I cannot assure that this will be true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyer 230 Posted October 5, 2012 Share #198 Posted October 5, 2012 So bus time is available for every single Staten Island and Brooklyn Route because ENY GA UP FB don't have the bus time ads like JG does. So if I go on the B6 or B15 it has bus time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I go on the B6 or B15 it has bus time. No, only the B61 and B63 have Bus Time. The rest of Brooklyn will get Bus Time sometime in the next few months.
