BM5 via Woodhaven Posted October 9, 2016 Share #1 Posted October 9, 2016 Welcome to the first part of "Dealing with the Tube Closures", or "DWTTC" for short. The title well, is suppose to reflect how the QMT tube (Manhattan-bound) is closed only on Saturdays, thus leaving everyone to only go into one lane in each direction, causing a massive backup in each direction. I haven't used the express bus as a result for a hot minute, because I'm not dealing with that BS (this happened unexpectedly towards June last year, and I was insane). So, I'm doing some mini-fanning on some of the local buses throughout the city (mainly the Bronx and Brooklyn routes with CNG's) in the meantime, until they finish the tube work. So unless I start using the express bus for casual trips on Fridays into the city or something, I probably won't be using the express bus for the next three months (which is the slated span of work). Anyways, let's get this started: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Last Week, I decided to take the Bx21 on the full route, from Mott Haven to Westchester Square. 2002 Orion VII CNG 7633 on the Bx21 at Lincoln Avenue/138 Street by BM5 via Woodhaven, on Flickr Here's the ridership on that particular trip: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.8288882,-73.9086166,14z/data=!4m2!6m1!1s1hJkO-qaukdyltTtDrXRuNKGkAck Some other pictures from that trip: 2004 Orion VII CNG 7711 on the Bx15 at 138 Street/Lincoln Avenue by BM5 via Woodhaven, on Flickr 2012 New Flyer "Xcelsior" XD60 on the Bx1 LIMITED at Lincoln Avenue/138 Street by BM5 via Woodhaven, on Flickr 2002 Orion VII CNG 7679 on the Bx8 at Westchester Square/Fink Avenue by BM5 via Woodhaven, on Flickr 2015 Nova Bus LFS 8350 on the Bx24 at East Tremont Avenue/Westchester Avenue by BM5 via Woodhaven, on Flickr Gillig Phantom 944 operating on the Hutchinson Metro Center Shuttle at East Tremont Avenue/Westchester Avenue by BM5 via Woodhaven, on Flickr 2004 Orion VII CNG 7735 on the Bx21 at Westchester Avenue/ East Tremont Avenue by BM5 via Woodhaven, on Flickr 2004 Orion VII CNG 7741 on the Bx8 at East Tremont Avenue/Westchester Avenue by BM5 via Woodhaven, on Flickr 2002 Orion VII CNG 7777 on the Bx8 at East Tremont Avenue/Westchester Avenue by BM5 via Woodhaven, on Flickr ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I also did take the B67 during the week on the full route, from Kensington to Williamsburg 2002 Orion VII CNG 7581 on the B67 at Clymer Street/Kent Avenue by BM5 via Woodhaven, on Flickr Here's the ridership from that particular trip I took: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6658384,-74.0147911,13z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!6m1!1s1XzOdGMsdQgcdU9vRAq2GV4ZtzbM Other pictures from that trip: 2012 New Flyer C40LF 369 on the B69 at McDonald Avenue/Cortelyou Road by BM5 via Woodhaven, on Flickr 2012 New Flyer C40LF 339 on the B69 at McDonald Avenue/Cortelyou Road by BM5 via Woodhaven, on Flickr 2012 New Flyer C40LF 339 on the B69 at McDonald Avenue/Cortelyou Road by BM5 via Woodhaven, on Flickr 2012 New Flyer C40LF 433 on the B67 at Kent Avenue/Clymer Street by BM5 via Woodhaven, on Flickr 2002 Orion VII CNG 7570 on the B67 at Wythe Avenue/Clymer Avenue by BM5 via Woodhaven, on Flickr 2015 New Flyer "Xcelsior" XD40 7450 on the Q70 SBS (LaGuardia Link) at Broadway/74 Street by BM5 via Woodhaven, on Flickr 2015 New Flyer "Xcelsior" XD40 7453 on the Q70 SBS (LaGuardia Link) at 74 Street Bus Terminal Bay C by BM5 via Woodhaven, on Flickr 2015 New Flyer "Xcelsior" XD40 7453 on the Q70 SBS (LaGuardia Link) at 74 Street Bus Terminal Bay C by BM5 via Woodhaven, on Flickr ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today, I went to Sunset Park to take the B11 to Midwood. I walk from the to 58 Street and 1 Avenue (I realized I could have gotten off at 59 Street instead of 53 Street, silly me). I didn't get many shots, but since I didn't get a picture of the bus I was taking, here's one of the bus beforehand (just 2 numbers off anyways). 2002 Orion VII CNG 7617 on the B11 at Glenwood Road/Flatbush Avenue by BM5 via Woodhaven, on Flickr Ridership for the particular trip taken: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6658384,-74.0147911,13z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!6m1!1s1XzOdGMsdQgcdU9vRAq2GV4ZtzbM Other pictures: 2012 New Flyer C40LF 265 on the B68 at Coney Island Avenue/Avenue J by BM5 via Woodhaven, on Flickr ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here's one more picture: 2002 Orion VII CNG 7626 on the B43 at Manhattan Avenue/Meserole Avenue by BM5 via Woodhaven, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
