R32 3348 Posted January 31, 2009 Share #26 Posted January 31, 2009 What does labeling a bus have to do with running a bus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted January 31, 2009 Share #27 Posted January 31, 2009 Where did you hear that JFK has a CNG fueling tank? Maybe you got it mixed up with LGA?(Which did have Orion V CNG's...). Green bus lines never ran CNG buses so it would'nt make sense for them put a CNG tank at that depot.There is a CNG fueling station near JFK depot. I'll get photo evidence when I can. 257 and 305 are not in College Point, they've been in Eastchester Depot for a week atleast now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bee Flexible #823 Posted February 2, 2009 Share #29 Posted February 2, 2009 What are the numbers of the 2 buses to the right of 305? I did see 205 at CP Depot yesterday with NYCT Decals on it. My goodness-257 and 305 just look wrong. Question is-are they going anywhere? Here's another question: What is it with MTA Bus and the numbering in the center of the bus? Why are they doing that? It would've been better to leave the numbers where they were. What they need is a repaint and some TLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bee Flexible #823 Posted February 2, 2009 Share #30 Posted February 2, 2009 JFK depot do have a CNG feuling tank, It just that the DOT was not giving Green Lines CNG due to the fact that they had the wrost buses. MTA bus most likely would give JFK the 20 CNG's to replace the remaing RTS's because JFK only have about 20-25 RTS's in their depot. It would be nice to ride an CNG on the Q6,Q10 and Q60. Let's see: You have 8240 8297 8340 8356 7212 9715 9723 9731 9747 9766 9791 9793 That makes 12. Does SC still have 8249? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted February 2, 2009 Share #32 Posted February 2, 2009 Today I rode an CP CNG and the bus cound'nt keel down.

I seen an CNG on the B103 today but I didn't catch the number though. Some of those new MCI's were at CAS so maybe thier running in service now.

petabread Posted February 3, 2009 Share #35 Posted February 3, 2009 The CP CNGs aren't horrible. I ride them everyday, multiple times a day and usually everything works fine. The one complaint I have is that the heat isn't the best. The kneeler works 99% of time I'm on it, the wheelchair isn't as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heat on them buses are serious, much better heat than the Artics and Vs as well as some VIIs. As for the lift, I heard the salt caused the lift to mess up.

petabread Posted February 3, 2009 Share #38 Posted February 3, 2009 You're lucky, maybe the Q65 drivers don't use them then. During the cold blast all my buses were chilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
