However, it’s good to see the Overnight bus program is making its way to Manhattan and The Bronx. Is the start day on Sunday 8/2 or Wednesday 8/5? There's no interlining at all. There would be if the routes were out of the same depot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that if GM made the perfect auto you would never need to buy another one. The only bulletproof GM product is their Dextron II transmission fluid - makes every transmission run smoothly forever unless it's a GM transmission. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrivera Posted August 1, 2020 Share #31504 Posted August 1, 2020 Well, they always said they wanted to run the SBS like a subway... DETOURS Posted: 08/01/2020 4:13PM Bx9, Bx12, Bx12-SBS, Bx17 and Bx22 buses are detoured because of a bus with mechanical problems in the road at Fordham Rd and Cambreleng Ave. Northbound Bx9 buses will make stops as requested on Bedford Park Blvd and Webster Ave. Northbound Bx17 buses will make stops as requested on Crotona Ave and 187th St. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence St Posted August 2, 2020 Share #31506 Posted August 2, 2020 I just saw 5992 in Rockaway out of service, probably running on the Q53-SBS. Arent NYCT buses not allowed to run on MTA bus routes or is it the other way around? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can, with another exception to the bus model being close to retirement, such as the RTS and 6500-6600 Orion VII series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention there was something a while back about how they didn’t want to keep those MTABC buses in the SBS scheme just for the Q52/53, and they wanted to put them in the local scheme so they could run on any route if needed (i.e. the buses at JFK showing up on the Q10 and Q7, or the LGA buses showing up on routes like the Q33 and Q49 which have had an artic from the Q53 pop on due to some delays in Jackson Heights on several occasions) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Future ENY OP Posted August 3, 2020 Share #31514 Posted August 3, 2020 Question to all: Which depot is in charge of BxM7 late night.. Eastchester or College Point 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastchester or College Point The overnight BxM7 is typically handled by Eastchester. However, there may be occasions where other depots join in. As far as the overnight service goes, in some places, it looks like a free-for-all in terms of depot assignments, as long as the trips are run. As of recently, GH has been covering the late night Bx4 and Bx40 trips, which were typically covered by WF. Might be because they have their operators training for the Bx99, and they won't have enough to do that, and the Bx4/Bx40.

The whole point of SBS and IMO, the main selling point was the off board fare payment (save S79 which was botched 😒) which probably saved the most time. With OMNY, back door boarding can be a thing but enforcement is the other big issue which easily eats up any revenue the MTA gained. And with the OMNY readers, there's almost no point in maintaining on the street machines which require people to refill the ticket paper, routine maintenance and emptying out coins.

Seen images that's on the BxM11 with quote "Masks Required" Yep, they have 4 half screen Vianova screens. That's what the 40ft Xcelsiors with the slanted AC ceiling mount should've had; a half screen behind the driver on the GPS box, and a full one on the roof just ahead of the rear door. I wonder if with OMNY, if they'll eliminate SBS and limited all together, and call routes local and express to stay in sync with the subways.

Nah, that would be confused with the express buses that's run with coach buses. They could just rename every LIMITED designated route to SELECT, under the guise that it makes SELECT stops. LIMITED...SELECT, mean the same thing when everyone has OMNY back door boarding and the same stop pattern. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
