JubaionBx12+SBS Posted October 25, 2016 Share #2 Posted October 25, 2016 I have a hunch that the dude sitting in the back of the bus in the second picture is a well regarded member here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTA Bus Posted October 26, 2016 Share #3 Posted October 26, 2016 I have a hunch that the dude sitting in the back of the bus in the second picture is a well regarded member here. It is, and I was right next to him lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pranavbhat924 Posted October 26, 2016 Share #4 Posted October 26, 2016 I was talking to the driver of 5987 this morning (run no 063) and he said that he saw many people talking pics of the bus from the bus stop. Also, quite a few people were using the USB ports, which surprised both of us as it was the first day in public service.

Honestly, I don't know many people from the community nor I am interested in meeting them. Not in a rude way, but frankly you should just start hanging out with people you don't know.

Around the Horn Posted October 26, 2016 Share #9 Posted October 26, 2016 I Caught the XD60 but I was off guard so I I had was a zoom lens, so I apologize for the blurriness Also, the XD60's display the blue and orange much softer and it doesn't hurt the eyes as much. These were from Monday Excellent photos! I was going to try to catch it on my way home from Queens College, until I checked BusTime and it was over 40 minutes away and still in the Bronx. I have to stay later tomorrow anyway so i may run into it... Did you also happen to get 4754? It was near Flushing High School heading to Main Street. 4754 is in service too?

MysteriousBtrain Posted October 26, 2016 Share #11 Posted October 26, 2016 Looks good. Got a ride this evening. I just hope they don't consider wrapping these buses in SBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAlam Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share #12 Posted October 26, 2016 Did you also happen to get 4754? It was near Flushing High School heading to Main Street. Nah I was already running late, I just got lucky, because I checked bus time before I entered flushing and saw it approaching flushing too. Looks good. Got a ride this evening. I just hope they don't consider wrapping these buses in SBS. I doubt they'll wrap it cause there currently is no SBS wrap, and the Q44 is the only line with wrapped buses so they can kinda get away with it. However, the sign on the XD60 is much softer than the LFSA/XD40's so they use a different sign or is it just different programming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Young+ Posted October 26, 2016 Share #13 Posted October 26, 2016 I saw the XD60 pass by me in the black & red shuttle bus a few times...I couldn't believe my eyes. It's going to take some time to get used to the new buses... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B46 via Utica Posted October 26, 2016 Share #15 Posted October 26, 2016 These bus drivers get so salty sometimes. Just the other day I took a picture of the Q66 and a bus driver stuck his middle finger up at me. Anyway nice pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Pond Posted October 26, 2016 Share #17 Posted October 26, 2016 However, the sign on the XD60 is much softer than the LFSA/XD40's so they use a different sign or is it just different programming. It's a different sign. The incoming XD60s/XN40s (maybe even the XN60s too) have a multicolored Hanover sign, instead of the Luminator Spectrum. MTA ain't all that impressed with that Spectrum sign right about now lol Nice catch either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAlam Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share #19 Posted October 27, 2016 Nah, it was around the area in training bus use around the time he got those pics. Yeah I doubt it ever hit service These bus drivers get so salty sometimes. Just the other day I took a picture of the Q66 and a bus driver stuck his middle finger up at me. Anyway nice pics. There are still some cool ones out there... Not as many as in the old days though. As long as you're respectful they usually don't mind, I've been questioned but never harassed to a point where I'd report a B/O Nice pictures! One question, where was the second picture of #5987 taken? (Second from the top) All the photos were taken in the downtown Flushing region. The XD60 photos were all taken by the library, I took them under the LIRR bridge because all I has was a zoom lens, hence why you can see a building that was a half mile away.
