MHV9218 Posted September 15, 2012 Share #2651 Posted September 15, 2012 Major props to my man who had 9445 on the B62 today, ride of my life. Bus was freshly overhauled (felt brand new) and man he was moving! Got up to 50ish on the Pulaski, and the lean on that bus was crazy. That's how you move an RTS! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious2train Posted September 15, 2012 Share #2652 Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) So everyday now my classmates and I have to take the M3 or M4 from Mt. Sinai Hospital (Madison Av & 100th St) to our school (Convent Av & 140th St). Some of them aren't familiar with buses at all, and it shows. Usually the M4 comes first so we just take that. We ride at a time where there are some M4 buses used for morning Rush service are heading back to Manhattanville depot, so the last stop is at Broadway & 135th. Normally we get of 137th St, but 2 extra blocks is just 2 extra blocks. What gets me is, everybody is always unaware of these short-turns. One of my friends who doesn't ask the bus asked me if there's more than one M4, which I guess is a legit question, but the front of the bus says it, the side says it, and the guide-a-ride too. One of my friends rides the bus sometimes and he was totally oblivious of the sign on the bus until I pointed it out to him >.> This is nothing major but the signs and stuff are there for people to look at so when they don't and ask silly questions it's bugs me. We're supposed to be a bunch of brainiacs. One friend actually knows his way around the 5 boroughs, he's like a god in these cases Also remember when I said Limited timetables should be purple? Here's exactly what I mean. [some fonts and symbols from the schedules don't show up well or at all in Inkscape, so that's why some things look weird.] Edited September 15, 2012 by Mysterious2train 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted September 16, 2012 Share #2655 Posted September 16, 2012 Stupid question, what do CMOE and CUSTO stand for? CMOE looks like Central Maintenance Operations Equipment or something like that, I got nothing on CUSTO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1447 Posted September 16, 2012 Share #2656 Posted September 16, 2012 When I look at this thread or the random ones around, makes me feel like this is Facebook and Twitter took Q44 yesterday...and the AC was blasting to the max. Even though the weather was gorgeous outside, the bus was traveling in arctic region... btw, I had a bus ride through hell...a.k.a Bx36... Sometimes I just love to open up the window on the top side. A nicer air, unless the AC is on. The Bx36 I've been avoiding... That route is hell with only 40 footers. Only see artics like 1 or 2x during the week. It needs artics badly... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted September 17, 2012 Share #2657 Posted September 17, 2012 My wife says that a "Jackie Gleason bus" (not referring to the depot, nor a particular bus; it's just her way of saying "old look", so I didn't even know which one it was) was at the Myrtle Ave. street fair today. So that must be why it was sighted at Fresh Pond. I'm annoyed for missing this, (and was on vacation last week, and can't go to the Atlantic Antic either). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted September 17, 2012 Share #2658 Posted September 17, 2012 Is there a reason why MTA Bus sign readings are more detailed than NYCT signs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just got the bus , you expect them to just activate something the moment they get it. As long as the bus runs for now and can do service they aint worried about no bus time. Bus aint staying there but for so long, the bus move between staten island & ulmer park will take into effect between now & next month. You just waisted time calling them, its only bus time. Well that bus damm sure sounds like a voith...if u didn't know the transmission you would think its a voith Uhh.... #1 its not a voith. #2 the transmission is probbaly just broken in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
