engineerboy6561 Posted August 16, 2018 Share #1 Posted August 16, 2018 Sorry for the shoddy photo quality, but I snapped this while I was getting off the bus this morning. It's amazing inside; the lighting is really soft, and it doesn't have the lights right next to the window that make it hard to nap. The seats are super comfortable (leg room a little less than I'd like, though) and overall it's awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q43 Floral Park Posted August 17, 2018 Share #2 Posted August 17, 2018 Nice. Was it on a SX or local run? Trying to see my odds of catching it next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLX9304 Posted August 17, 2018 Share #4 Posted August 17, 2018 Why half way though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean the angle at which I took the shot it's because I snapped this on my phone while walking over to NJ Transit at Penn and didn't have time to frame the shot properly.

junjun441 Posted August 17, 2018 Share #6 Posted August 17, 2018 I caught it today labeled BxM18 at 7:15 am. Just sitting there on 35th and 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it'll end move around but YON operators generally like to take the same bus on the same day (so assuming it stays longer than a week, there's a decent chance it might be back on the BxM3 next Thursday). The issue becomes that even if 0023 has a tracker, the only way to know where a BxM3 originates (without a rider/operator's help) would be to check the bustime app before the run gets south of Fordham.

This was on the 6:45 VCP local; I live on Sedgwick and Van Cortlandt, and so the morning super express runs bypass me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

engineerboy6561 Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share #10 Posted August 20, 2018 I don't think it's going to stick to that run; I take that run every day (or did through Friday; I'm back in Boston for school) and the day after I caught this the regular '05 MCI was back on the run. The guy who was handing out customer surveys on the bus said that since they only had it for two weeks or so they'd be sending it all over the place. If you have a day to fan, chill up in Riverdale in the morning (covers the BxM1/2/18) and down on 29th and Madison in the afternoon (covers everything but the 1 and 2).
