B35 via Church Posted May 23, 2019 Share #4 Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) Unnecessary. Artics on the Q12, to me, means service decreases for the Northern Blvd corridor (east of Flushing) altogether.... Meaning, this won't end up solely affecting Q12 riders... They want less buses on the road. Edited May 23, 2019 by B35 via Church 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted May 23, 2019 Share #5 Posted May 23, 2019 Now they want to do this, they should have done this when they still had the lfsa. It's likely it's going to be xd60's though. This would push out a good chunk of next gens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future ENY OP Posted May 23, 2019 Share #6 Posted May 23, 2019 ........ interesting I’m going to say something about this rumor and it’s something that you may not like to hear. CS is supposed to be closing. There’s no way that the Q12 is supposed to be considered to artic conversion and or implementation at this time. Also, where are you going to get buses from. Right now there’s no extra artics to accommodate for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so you know, bus operators are sometimes the last ones to know what's going on.

After the Q44 SBS was implemented, they wanted to test artics on the Q12 but they never did. Edited May 23, 2019 by Cait Sith 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes ride the Q26, when it operates during rush hours, and with everybody taking the Q27 it's going to be a disaster. This is the primary reason why they kept this route, they just cut the route during the mid-day and evenings when practically nobody would be on the bus. 20 hours ago, Cait Sith said: Just so you know, bus operators are sometimes the last ones to know what's going on.

Until it actually shows up in the pick documents at the depot or in the board meeting materials, it's not official. For example, a bus operator could say that the Q48 is going artic and its supposed to happen in the summer. That doesn't actually make it official. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so we are on the same page, some examples of this can be viewed here and here. Note that both of these lengthy documents are from the MTA website, respectively.
