  1. How many new XD40’s did SCT end up ordering? I see plenty of them on the 3D.
  2. LOL why? This seems out of the blue especially when they added 46’s then took them off and occasionally one may pop up there.
  3. I don't understand what's going on here. Is it like R179's are being taken out of service?
  4. I find it a bit funny that Visa/Chase invested millions into the OMNY system but then they don't do any promotion. MasterCard on the other hand, is running the Fareback Fridays promo. Visa probably cares more about issuing contactless cards first and foremost so consumers can spend their money on things other than transportation. Just my thoughts.
  5. I've never seen Byford this mad. He's not happy at all..... This definitely overshadowed the OMNY tap LMFAO.
  6. What does that have to do with them not being school trippers? If anything, school trippers can bunch up easily due to kids ringing the bell when no one's getting off and shit like that. I feel bad for these drivers having to put up with stupid nonsense like that. Also, as far as I know, CS still has the Q76 route and the one in the picture is a QV bus but JA and QV both do school trips for various CS routes so one can put two and two together.
  7. That was short-lived. Riding 6130 as we speak, the info screens aren’t turned on but the announcements are still going. any reason as to why the loan occurred?
  8. Wtf is going on? Are they there for maintenance or something? NVM 6128 and 6130 are both working the 44 right now... Maybe the MTA wants to do a switcheroo cuz the 2016-17 XD60’s aren’t exactly SBS worthy, no info screens LOL
  9. But they're performance is top notch, averaging 500k for distance between failures. Impressive.
  10. Heard that conductors will start scanning LIRR e-tickets on the regular very soon
  11. you don't need a signal to activate the ticket but you need a signal to buy a ticket.... But if you didn't buy it yet and the conductor comes around, then you gotta pay the onboard fare.
  12. This refers to the model year and not the actual year the buses are built. It's similar to how car manufacturers start calling their units the succeeding year. The practice was started because farmers would harvest their crops and sell them in the fall so they had enough money to go buy cars. To distinguish between older models and newer models, car manufacturers slapped a new year on them.
  13. It probably isolates the problem to only so don't get delayed by having 3 services all on 1 track. That's my guess.
  14. I have a question so a MTA transfer can get you onto 2 NICE connecting buses, but does the reverse hold true as well? If I take the N20H to the N20G, is there still a transfer on my card for an MTA bus?
  15. It's their way of speeding up bus service LOL. I can imagine riding the bus and seeing seniors wave their canes as the bus speeds through their stop on the median (a bit of a stretch...). LESS PEOPLE GET ON...THE BETTER. It's the MTA's new way of deterring ridership. JK
  16. Anyone seen a local XD60 (Q12 artic) on the Q44 SBS line yet? Just curious lol. I know the vice versa already happened.
  17. This is not a move or transfer. They took an SBS and used it on a local route. GH does the same thing “occasionally”.
  18. Did they run the 10-car set today?
  19. This better be a standalone incident and not a sign of things to come...
  20. LMFAO. You talking like we're in a budget crisis. Oh wait, we are.............
  21. Actually, there’s one going to Metro Ave right now that is an XD60. (4767) Edit: 2 now. (4754 is also en route to Metro Ave)
