Blitz Posted August 29, 2012 Share #2501 Posted August 29, 2012 2 questions... 1: I've asked this question before but it never got answered...Why aren't the LFSA's getting the same blue paint on the wheel hubs that the LFS's have? :2 Why do the XD40/60's have emergency style blue flashing lights while the LFSA's have normal flashing blue lights?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted August 30, 2012 Share #2502 Posted August 30, 2012 I wish I knew, I don't get anything with the way the MTA has been speccing buses recently, both aesthetically and internally. Prolly why we keep seeing retrofits and re-configurations (XD40 trannies, decaling, SBS lights, the like). -- Felt like the old days on the B103 today, 7215 and 7216 were both right behind each other, haven't seen that in a while. Up on 125th, ended up seeing another combo that just looks strange to me, 6036 and 5780 both on the M100. First LFSA I've seen on the M100 (aren't those sposed to be on the 9?), and I forget that 6036 isn't at CS any more. Sad story though, I'm on the B62 and this really hot girl is next to me and after a couple minutes she turns to talk and of course, I'm expecting the holy proposal itself...turns out she was asking how to ring the bell since she couldn't figure it out. I think my face dropped nice and quick on that one. Then she presses the tape and she gets all excited when the bell goes off. Killed me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted August 30, 2012 Share #2503 Posted August 30, 2012 That's life Speaking of the cng O5s, I saw a 9800 on the B9 today. Wow, I thought JG no longer had an O5 left. Pity I was on the B41 and couldn't get a decent pic of that bus. I really hate the new Q35 layup spot. Today the Q35 was on Nostrand av and waited there before finally turning onto Av H 10+min later. I get the need for a break, but damn it, my transfer was going to expire soon, hurry the hell up! Most other times I get to Av H it's like the b/o can't drive out of the area fast enough... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity I was on the B41 and couldn't get a decent pic of that bus. Far as I know it's just one, and it's 9829. It's a good one though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted August 30, 2012 Share #2506 Posted August 30, 2012 Could be. It passed by too quickly for me to remember the last 2 numbers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B36 Via Ave U Posted August 30, 2012 Share #2510 Posted August 30, 2012 Could be. It passed by too quickly for me to remember the last 2 numbers. Yea it was 9829 cuz I saw it around as well, and it's a DAMN good bus, best Orion 5 I've ever been on and what I thought would be the last standing JG 05. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was she blonde by any chance? -------- I found a LFSA on the Bx55 again! I've got a shot to show you guys... (By the way, I apologize for the missed-timed shot...) I shot it about a slpit-second too early... I wasn't expecting to see it that day : 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think that's bad?? A friend of mine had the M60 on the hawk. He said they give him 22 minutes to get from 126th and 2nd to 106th and Broadway dark. But only 15 minutes to get from 106 and bway to 125th and 2nd... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
