(Pictures forthcoming) Also, New front billboard of a CBS series. Nothing yet for NBC programs yet.

Express Bus Operator Posted August 21, 2019 Share #28379 Posted August 21, 2019 Alright Folks I have a little insight information directly from management and union at Flatbush depot regarding the SBS46 articulated buses plan. According to the depot union chairman at Flatbush, the other day he attended the Operation Planning and designing meeting to discuss a few issues regarding certain situations that has come up with some of flatbush depot routes. The MTA currently has plan for January 2020 to enroll the Articulated buses on some of the SBS46 runs but with a few issues that were addressed to the operation and planning team that the current 40ft buses sometimes barely have space at both layovers "Dekalb and Kingsplaza". So If the 40ft buses has problem sometimes laying over at these two location, what will happen when the artic buses are in effect?......... So clearly it seems like the dept of operations planning and design are a step behind and this may cause a slight delay from the sbs46 enrolling the artic buses which is planned for January 2020. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axis Posted August 21, 2019 Share #28380 Posted August 21, 2019 It really simmers me that I have to shell out $6 for an LIRR ticket every time there’s a 1 hour gap in Jamaica-bound Q114 service in Five Towns every time I leave work at 7 PM. They should just cross-honor this useless Unlimited Rides MetroCard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoretically they could ask the DOT to use Broadway between Malcom X & DeKalb. I know sending it to the Bridge is not need that would been my only other choice, can’t wait to see what they come up with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been down to KP recently, but I have seen the problems that those layovers used to cause, especially in the late 90s when Roy Rogers was in KP.....I miss that place(Roy Rogers, not KP)😭😂. The traffic flow was pretty bad too. Operators used to have to wait quite a while just to pull out of the stop.

Operators used to have to wait quite a while just to pull out of the stop. 😂 wow, roy rogers.. that's classic kp s***... even now during the summer, you'll still see at least 4 sbs buses on layover with no locals in sight, and any sbs pullouts from FB have to wedge themselves in there until someone departs, all while trying not to intentionally trap a helpless B9 in that God awful ass end of the terminal. look, they (DOT or whomever) had a chance to redesign that terminal properly, and they totally botched it capacity-wise. it's not out of the realm of possibility that shoving artics in there may present a daunting task to say the least, especially if the plan is to marginally maintain current headways (which i highly doubt) Edited August 22, 2019 by EastFlatbushLarry 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielhg121 Posted August 23, 2019 Share #28396 Posted August 23, 2019 Isn’t the Q12 interlined with other routes? Won’t artics find their way onto other routes? That means they gotta edit all the runs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, from what I recall I don’t think Q12 have interlines that would warrant any additional artic service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've seen some Q12 buses go down Roosevelt and come back up as Q15's I'm pretty sure. Don't know if they changed it in the past few years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
