I wanted it on the 13, 24, 48, 57 or the Q59. Edit: It seems to have disappeared or the operator shut it off at layover. Proterras have appeared on the 24, 38, 47, 48, and Q59. Thru observations I’ve seen them on the B38, 47 and 48 all during daytime hours. Theres a picture on here showing one appeared in the 24. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGA Link N Train Posted June 28, 2018 Share #23679 Posted June 28, 2018 Hey quick question. Does the Q60 have a high enough ridership to warrant for articulated buses and if so, what depot would hold them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the Q60 have a high enough ridership to warrant for articulated buses and if so, what depot would hold them? Q60 is housed at JFK. However, I don’t think the line would be warranted for Artics. Maybe a Queens bus op can shed some light to this. Queens Boulevard is wide enough to operate them. However, if the Q6 can get them during limited rush hours than the Q60 could possibly get them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. I was wondering because at certain hours of the day, the bus would be full up to the point where no more passengers can fit and because of the QBL ( ) on the weekends and late nights 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't want an artic to add more problems in those areas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they have the Queens Plaza short turn than possibly they can operate. Other than what you stated than its no dice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually in position to ride this bus... was waiting along the B48 route and the bus stayed in one spot a few blocks from the terminal the whole time I was waiting, I think that bus broke down or something.

Thx Run a search of all the buses in TransSee or some other program and see where any are located, and then to meet one of them if there are any present. Last week I tried to get one on the B60 using this method, but I ultimately got one on the B47. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
