BM5 via Woodhaven Posted July 16, 2015 Share #2 Posted July 16, 2015 Neat shots, and lol at the front of 1260. (I'm expecting some transit shots from there when you come back ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sfltransitfan Posted July 16, 2015 Share #3 Posted July 16, 2015 Awesome Transit Photography and Vids as usual ! Question: Are those 1000 series D60HFs going to be renumed back to their original fleet numbers or they next to be retired ? S.FL.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted July 16, 2015 Share #4 Posted July 16, 2015 Nice shots. Awesome Transit Photography and Vids as usual ! Question: Are those 1000 series D60HFs going to be renumed back to their original fleet numbers or they next to be retired ? S.FL.T. The 1000 and 4800 D60s are being retired this/next year, and will die in those numbers due to the newer artics taking their old numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted July 17, 2015 Share #7 Posted July 17, 2015 Why do some of the M15 buses have just the number in that weird bluish color while other have the entire screen background in that bluish color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdog14 Posted July 17, 2015 Share #8 Posted July 17, 2015 Why do some of the M15 buses have just the number in that weird bluish color while other have the entire screen background in that bluish color? All of them have the same program. It depends on the reading (select bus is entirely blue). Fantastic Shots man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share #9 Posted July 17, 2015 Nice shots. Ha, guess I'm not the only one who got the f**k out of NYC and went to the emerald city. I would enjoy the Emerald City more if it had some bloody culture....UGH!! Why do some of the M15 buses have just the number in that weird bluish color while other have the entire screen background in that bluish color? It's for folks to tell the difference as to what's a local to a select. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Via Garibaldi 8 Posted July 17, 2015 Share #10 Posted July 17, 2015 It's for folks to tell the difference as to what's a local to a select. That wasn't my question. I was referring solely to SBS buses. For example, I've seen M15 SBS buses with just the M15 in that bluish color while the rest of the sign is normal, but whenever it says SELECT BUS SERVICE that along with the M15 is all in that bluish color.

For example, I've seen M15 SBS buses with just the M15 in that bluish color while the rest of the sign is normal, but whenever it says SELECT BUS SERVICE that along with the M15 is all in that bluish color. And that's exactly the answer I gave you......it's for folks to tell the difference. The route sign says blue, "SOUTH FERRY" "VIA 2ND AVE" destination stays orange for folks to read, Select Bus acts as a blinker for folks to get the message. Having it all stay in blue would make it hard for folks to read depending on the time of day and the scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty when the sign is in that blue color it's hard on the eyes... Has the complete opposite affect of helping people know it's an SBS bus...
