LegoBrickBreaker101 Posted August 5, 2020 Share #31526 Posted August 5, 2020 To whoever was asking before, the Bx99 seems to be an artic route. #1001 and #1050 are the first buses on the route from Woodlawn and SoHo, respectively. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted August 5, 2020 Share #31527 Posted August 5, 2020 Don't know if anyone already knew this but the Bx39 isn't split with Gun Hill as an overnight route. Its midnight hours is covered at West Farms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and #5783 is running on the 39 going to Wakefield as we speak. It just came off the Bx41. The Bx39 is doing two overnight services. The regular overnight service (Gun Hill Rd to 241 St.) and going back on the Bx41, which is run by GH. and The essential overnight service (Wakefield to Clasons Point), the full route, which is provided by WF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted August 5, 2020 Share #31538 Posted August 5, 2020 The drivers who operate the XD60s on the B38 are some of the best artic operators I've seen. Wow they move them buses around those blocks and through all the obstructions on the road. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted August 5, 2020 Share #31540 Posted August 5, 2020 Is Gun Hill's artic fleet considered as a downgrade? Back then, they had the 1/2 the 2012 XD-60s batch brand new to be turned currrently to all Nova LFSAs that were formerly SBS units. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brakethrow Posted August 6, 2020 Share #31545 Posted August 6, 2020 Always wondered this but never cared enough to ask until now.. On the buses where the stop request sign is behind the driver, is there a notification specifically for the driver? I'd imagine it may be easy to tune out sometimes and not hear that stop request sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a little indicator near the wheel and the internal turn signals that lights up when someone hits the stop request sign. I’ve spotted it a few times when I’d stand near the front door. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, it'd be so dangerous to have to look up for a split second to determine whether you pull into or bypass the stop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With OMNY and all-door boarding, there may be no need for Select Bus Service down the line since the OMNY device can be used at every door. The SBS wrap should be replaced with the regular livery. The blue sign can remain or Select can revert to Limited. What would be interesting is if the LFSAs with luggage racks may get a special livery similar to what 6274-6286 have. Also, where does the Bx99 go to turn around? Do buses have to go all the way up to McLean Avenue in Yonkers to relay? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that were the case, I’d say keep 5444-5467 in the light blue scheme (and remove the words “+selectbusservice) for M60 service while every other bus gets the local livery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
