Grand Concourse Posted January 22, 2012 Share #651 Posted January 22, 2012 Just saw an O5 5975 on the Q35. Seems like weekends FR borrows more from JFK. Other OG buses, not a big deal, but a 5900 O5? that is really out of the blue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lance25 Posted January 24, 2012 Share #652 Posted January 24, 2012 Just a small question/observation. Don't feel like starting a new thread for it. This morning while I was in the Bronx, I passed an LFSA signed for both the normal Bx12 Select to Co-Op City and Evacuation Ctr. No, one sign wasn't stuck or anything; it cycled through like it was one program (the two readings for the Bx12 and the emergency one). I guess my question is, was that a glitch in the system or are you able to have two (or more) routes punched in concurrently? And no, I didn't catch the car number. Sorry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things like Evacuation Ctr, Hurricane Shelter, etc. are P/R codes in which can be entered alongside a Route reading. Another example of this is when the signs blank out after a reading. The blank sign reading is a P/R code. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acela Express Posted January 26, 2012 Share #656 Posted January 26, 2012 Just saw an O5 5975 on the Q35. Seems like weekends FR borrows more from JFK. Other OG buses, not a big deal, but a 5900 O5? that is really out of the blue. When I was on the B41 the day it snowed, as I passed through the Junction numerous times, every Q35 that was in the stand, or approaching, was an O5. Guess it's to handle the worse conditions as it enters the Rockaways? Who knows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted January 26, 2012 Share #657 Posted January 26, 2012 Not really sure, but it seems weekends the Q35 seems to use JFK's buses more. I'm just waiting to see if a JFK ng runs on the Q35. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtNovaBusRTS9369 Posted February 4, 2012 Share #660 Posted February 4, 2012 I wanna start paying the fare that the sticker on the bus says. Most of the stickers on the outsides of buses have been changed over the past couple years, but 9122 out of 126th still says $2.00. And inside, they get even better. I was just on a Quill D60 that said $1.50, I was all yes please when I saw that! That reminds me. A couple of months ago I saw #4915 with an old $1.50 sticker myself. It amazed me for the fact that the stickers were still around. The moment slightly let me relive days they were better fare wise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRG Posted February 5, 2012 Share #662 Posted February 5, 2012 I don't know about you guys but this BusTime thing is SICK!!! I mean, not only can you know where your bus is but you can also find out what bus model is coming, whether it's an Orion 5, Orion 7, New Flyer, Nova, Prevost or MCI!!! This past Thursday my friend and I were able to find Orion Third Gens on the S86 Limited and he tipped me off in the evening when I was coming home about an Orion 5 on the S79 and I took that instead of a hybrid on the S53. Awesomeness!!!!!!!!!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesomeness!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh believe me, I love it... I pick and choose which local and express buses to take too. For example I like the newer models for the local buses since they offer more standing room, so I try to get either 8XXXs or the newer models. For the expresses, I like the 22XXs if I'm taking the X10. :cool: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitz Posted February 5, 2012 Share #664 Posted February 5, 2012 Things that make sense: M60 & M31 126th > 100st M103 100st > 126th M101 100st > KB M100 KB > 126th (This should happen but probably will not) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have M60 trips starting at the which a good place to start for people coming off the train. I had an odd trip home from Bay Plaza the other day. I get on the Bx12 SBS at the Bay Plaza Rd stop (the 2nd stop to Manhattan) and one of the row of seats near the front of the bus is pulled up even though there's not actually any wheelchair passengers on board (A lady, not transit-related or anything, just pulls it down later on) The B/O skips the Bartow Mall stop without explanation. But it gets better. We're sitting at a red light just beyond the stop. A bunch of people run up to the bus and knock on the door and the B/O ignores them. This whole time, the light is still red. She completely blows past the stop on Edson Av, again without explanation even though people are waiting there. At Pelham Bay Park, she was talking to some dispatcher guy like normal so I have no idea what went on. I guess she was ordered to skip the stop or something. It didn't really save any time, though. On the train, we were sent down the line for some reason; from what I heard it was a gap problem at 14th St-Union Square. Ironically, we spent the better part of 10 minutes stuck in the tube between 149th St and 135th St, and to make up for it we went non-stop from 135th St to 96th St. At Nevins St, another train showed up next to us on the express track, so I guess the problem was fixed. We stayed on the local track, and went express from Atlantic and Franklin. I have to give my T/O props, he was a real speed demon, we caught up with the other at Franklin although if it got delayed, that would help) and the other train went first in the end. At first, the and being re-routed up each others lines was something I found incredibly cool, but now it's just "Eh, it happens." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted February 6, 2012 Share #668 Posted February 6, 2012 If MTA Bus were merged in with NYCT, then I'd have the b100 as a FB route and either keeping either the B2 or B100 route west of FB av and probably cutting the B2 segment south of Av S since the B41 and other bus routes already serves that segment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MTA Bus Posted February 6, 2012 Share #670 Posted February 6, 2012 The Q50 is not fully at Eastchester yet. It's supposed to be fully out of Eastchester, but the hasn't made the switch yet. (What a surprise) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true, but the Orion Vs are filthy, esp. the ones on Staten Island and I look forward to them all being scrapped sooner rather than later. :cool: I used one this morning, as I was running a bit late in walking over to the X14. Got 6002 I believe on the S53. Those buses aren't as smooth as the newer ones either IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
