I saw the damage on the bus on the news. That's terrible. https://abc7ny.com/bus-accident-crash-bee-line-new-york-city/10916791/ I've said it before and I'll say it again: THERE. ARE. TOO. MANY. CARS. ON. THE. ROAD! Something's gotta be done, and quick. On another note, this is also the latest Xcelsior to be involved in an accident, across all 3 NYC transit agencies. NICE Bus: #1930 caught fire MTA: #808 & #673 caught fire, #7647 crashed into a house and #1020 fell onto the Cross Bronx Expressway. and now this accident from #350. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you want to penalize a massive majority over one idiot driver who tried to overtake another, and then collided with the bus over their own stupidity? Imagine if Bee-Line decided to shut down service altogether over one person who tried to attack an operator. That's not quite fair now is it?

Lawrence St Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share #129 Posted July 30, 2021 Since 350 is retired, I wonder if they're going to buy one of DASH's neoplans back to fill in the loss of 350. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won’t buy one of DASH’s old Neos. Plus DASH pulled all their Neos from service recently. If 350 still under warranty they can get a replacement instead.

Also 350 is finished, the warranty only covers if the accident was the result of a malfunction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ik a few friends that works there and one of them said they were recently pulled due to transmission issues I believe. They also had other issues with the buses as well. And yeah I know Bee Line is good with maintenance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoretically, lets say that they actually get a Neoplan or two back, they would then have to go find parts for them, which they don't have anymore because they have an all-new fleet of artics. Parts for the AN460 high floors are hard as f**k to come by, especially since DASH has cannibalized a bus or two to maintain the others. 350 isn't a big loss either, they don't use all 78 artics in a single day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted September 27, 2021 Share #139 Posted September 27, 2021 Rode the northern half on the 40 and the entire 43 today. Love how rural Westchester is once you go north of White Plains. Roads with no sidewalks, no street lights, etc. 43 ride was great, only disappointment was my bus was an transit Orion V and not an Suburban one. That highway run is very scenic, at one point theres an lake between the two highway roads. I've ridden every highway Bee line route (3, 43 and 62) except for the 1X and 17. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned the 17 in my OP and I been on the 4C twice, once on those old MCIs and once on the Orion. Left out the 4C cause it's an Express bus route while the others are pretty much local when their not on the highway. 75 and 91 I never knew they existed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get around to it, the BL-77 express along the Taconic State is also a nice ride. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's just great. I hope those injured recover quickly. Certain drugs may be legal (or on the brink), but driving after using them specifically isn't for a reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
