DOB2RTO Posted September 20, 2008 Share #5 Posted September 20, 2008 awsome man,will they always be there,and thanks for your help Yes they will. For the M100, best time is on Sundays, even though they use them at anytime. Most KB operators love the artics, and since they have alot of them sitting on Sundays, the operators on the M100 will ask for an artic..... All the other Bronx lines, mentioned above will have artics, as the are the dedicated artic lines. That means on the sheets (you won't see it unless hired and see dispatcher sheets), it says must use 60ft articulated bus....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycbusfan Posted September 21, 2008 Share #6 Posted September 21, 2008 There is usually one of two D60HF's on the M31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q43 Floral Park Posted September 21, 2008 Share #9 Posted September 21, 2008 alright i guess tommrow ill ride the M100 IMO that's the best route to catch one on and its a pretty good ride. depending on the time of day it can be kinda hectic though. With KB I've noticed you can find an Artic on pretty much any route at one point or another. Theres been an Artic on the BX32 for the past 2 days and 5275 was on the Bx3 earlier this week.

R32 3348 Posted September 21, 2008 Share #11 Posted September 21, 2008 I'm not good with buses, are the New flyer D60HF's the Artics with the orange LED? How else can you distinguish them from other buses? (Wow, I don't sound like a n00b or anything) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted September 21, 2008 Share #12 Posted September 21, 2008 I'm not good with buses, are the New flyer D60HF's the Artics with the orange LED? How else can you distinguish them from other buses?(Wow, I don't sound like a n00b or anything) The signs don't mean much now, you can tell the difference by bus ID, but the only Artics in NYCT is D60HF. The older artics (1000-1110) all have green signs, and no front splash gaurd, along with different interior. The somewhat newer artics (5250-5406 and 5408-5509) have green signs for the most part, some have thier signs replaced with orange LEDs. These both have the Detroit Diesel Series 50. The newer artics (5407 and 5510-5769) have a rear end that bulges out more and have the Detroit Diesel Series 50 EGR, but 5407 and 5510-5669 have green signs, while 5670-5769 have orange LED signs. 5734-5768 have all been used for +Select Bus Service+.

armax1980 Posted September 22, 2008 Share #13 Posted September 22, 2008 If you want the highest chance of catching a ride on the artic, take the M101,102,103 or the M86. They use only artics on those lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
