Turbo19 Posted February 7, 2013 Share #5151 Posted February 7, 2013 I think that the M35 should use MCI's with hard seats, so that will decrease farebeating. Like a corrections MCI? I'm not sure about this, but can't drivers just not activate back doors? You can still open the doors, with enough force Which in turn f**ks up the interlock thus placing the bus out of service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R188 7857 Posted February 7, 2013 Share #5152 Posted February 7, 2013 LMFAO, it would be funny if the bus driver just stepped on that pedal when they trying to pull that back door out.. lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenEleven Posted February 7, 2013 Share #5153 Posted February 7, 2013 LMFAO, it would be funny if the bus driver just stepped on that pedal when they trying to pull that back door out.. lol When the interlock is engaged, there is no throttle output. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted February 7, 2013 Share #5154 Posted February 7, 2013 yeah but dont the buses at triboro(lga) that go to the airport they have to take the luggage racks? Nope, in fact those luggage rack buses show up on the non-airport routes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo19 Posted February 7, 2013 Share #5155 Posted February 7, 2013 Nope, in fact those luggage rack buses show up on the non-airport routes. The way the MTA installed the racks was ridiculous as the take up a good portion of floor and seat space. Overhead racks would have been much more useful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted February 7, 2013 Share #5156 Posted February 7, 2013 Well, I keep forgetting why the overhead luggage rack thing won't work (even though I think it was a good idea), I won't focus on that. As for the racks, if I was riding the bus, I'm not leaving my stuff out of my sight. Too much risk of someone just lifting if off the rack and running out the door. they should just leave the bus alone, keep the seats and forget about the racks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted February 7, 2013 Share #5157 Posted February 7, 2013 You know...im just sitting here thinking about.... would there ever be an MTA bus that would have 2x1 seating in the rear (high section)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted February 7, 2013 Share #5158 Posted February 7, 2013 No point, the lf buses already have fewer seats because you lost seats at the front. People don't move to the back. 2x2 makes the most sense. They never should've gone with that u shaped seating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted February 7, 2013 Share #5159 Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) Well since this is the bus random thoughts thread, I saw this pic that was pretty interesting We should try to get that type of technology lol Also for the Gillig haters Edited February 7, 2013 by Q23 Central Terminal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCtrainfan01 Posted February 7, 2013 Share #5160 Posted February 7, 2013 I think that the M35 should use MCI's with hard seats, so that will decrease farebeating. I would love to see VG8's reaction to this lol... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted February 7, 2013 Share #5161 Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) To be fair he did say hard seats, so the chairs won't be soiled plus I guess that would pretty much relegate it to local bus service as it is only hard plastic seats. Otoh, if it was a provost, he probably wouldn't hesitate and gladly approve, lol. Edited February 7, 2013 by Grand Concourse 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Via Garibaldi 8 Posted February 7, 2013 Share #5162 Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) I think that the M35 should use MCI's wlith hard seats, so that will decrease farebeating. Ahem...

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted February 7, 2013 Share #5164 Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) Here's my random bus thought... I got up so early this morning that I decided to go for a walk to run some errands before coming back to the apt. and heading out for work. I actually saw a Super Express BxM2 signed up "via Riverdale Av". It was pretty nice. The bus was pretty crowded and the stops I passed by had a good 8 - 10 people waiting to board... Been seeing more BxM2's with nice loads of late which may mean that ridership is steadily growing back to the old days...

Whoever suggested the Prevosts though that's a good idea... Keep the Prevosts on that line and replace them with MCIs... lol Damn, eventually you're going to want to throw those on school trippers and such. Hey, I hear that Yonkers and Eastchester are experiencing shortages. Let's see if Yukon or Ulmer Park can share some of it's 2400's with MTA Bus in The Bronx. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion VII 4 Life Posted February 8, 2013 Share #5173 Posted February 8, 2013 Ok a D4500CL and D4500CT mixed? It's a CL, NJT has a bunch of CLs with that rear. Pretty ugly IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenEleven Posted February 8, 2013 Share #5174 Posted February 8, 2013 It's a CL, NJT has a bunch of CLs with that rear. Pretty ugly IMO.That. The rear cap is mandatory now with the EPA regulations. Still like the straight CL design better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
