Gotham Bus Co. Posted December 30, 2016 Share #52 Posted December 30, 2016 BX33 could go to Hale Depot. Something would have to move out of Hale to keep the politically mandated maximum of 150 buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoBrickBreaker101 Posted December 31, 2016 Share #53 Posted December 31, 2016 Something would have to move out of Hale to keep the politically mandated maximum of 150 buses. If the Bx33 had to go to Hale, the M35 could possibly move to MHV in order to make way for the Bx33. It makes sense since both routes use the same amount of buses during the day.

Q43LTD Posted December 31, 2016 Share #54 Posted December 31, 2016 If the Bx33 had to go to Hale, the M35 could possibly move to MHV in order to make way for the Bx33. It makes sense since both routes use the same amount of buses during the day.Isn't that a little uneven since the M35 uses artics some of the time?

DaTransitMan4608 Posted December 31, 2016 Share #55 Posted December 31, 2016 Isn't that a little uneven since the M35 uses artics some of the time?I don't think it would hurt if the Bx33 used artics occasionally. From the few times I've taken it, the ridership was pretty high. This was during rush hour of course.

Future ENY OP Posted December 31, 2016 Share #56 Posted December 31, 2016 I believe that the Bx33 should come out of one of the Manhattan depots (either hale or MCH), because the very first trip starts in Manhattan, then goes back from Port Morris to Harlem. At night, the very last trip to Port Morris goes back to Harlem (and there is another trip after that). That's how it's operated on weekdays; on weekends, the first and last buses leave from both ends at the same time. It's a much longer DH to WF from there than to MHV or MCH. Some of the Bx9 can be operated by WF to compensate for the loss of the Bx33, and then to compensate for that loss, some of the M3 can be operated from KB. How did we get from the Bx41 to the Bx33. I may not know too much about Manhattan and Bronx ops. However, let's stay on topic. What fleet swaps will occur when this Bx41 move over to Gun Hill?

LegoBrickBreaker101 Posted January 3, 2017 Share #59 Posted January 3, 2017 Will Gun Hill get Bx41 local also? or local stays with Kingsbridge? See below↓↓↓ Getting back on topic.... Both the Bx41 local and SBS are departing from KB. Makes me wonder if there will be any specific fleet swaps other than the SBS Novas to GH.

Subwayfan12 Posted January 4, 2017 Share #61 Posted January 4, 2017 If anything Gun Hill might lose some (maybe 3-4) of their buses to Kingsbridge since the Bx39 uses more buses than the Bx41 local at any given time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielhg121 Posted January 7, 2017 Share #65 Posted January 7, 2017 I think casey stengel uses its entire 40 ft fleet to supplement its routes especially the Q44. They put all their XD40s and NGs on their routes so they aint got a single one to lend.

Interested Rider Posted January 7, 2017 Share #67 Posted January 7, 2017 The artics were not out all today, When I looked out my window at 10 AM this morning, I saw 7364 working the B/44 Select Bus route. Both the Bronx and Manhattan have large number of artics, so other garages that have 40 foot buses send their replacements when snow or ice is predicted. A rule of thumb should be "if you live on or near a route that uses artics and snow or ice is mentioned. think foreign equipment.". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
