Nobody cares , if people cared that much then they would go out there and get it. I dont really care anymore its just a DD11 and even though i never heard it its just a bus like all 89 of them. If i REALLY felt like it then id go out there and look for it but i can wait for it to come out here itll be much easier to find. Be my luck i go to staten island and dont catch it so i will just be waisting my time. If you saw it 2 times why didnt you just get on there and get pics and a video of it yourself, the bus looks just like the rest of them no big difference except the engine thats it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S78 via Hylan Posted September 22, 2012 Share #2732 Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) Caught the last B44 Limited of the night. Bus was 5181 and the operator drove fast like how a limited should feel like. Edited September 22, 2012 by S78 via Hylan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted September 22, 2012 Share #2733 Posted September 22, 2012 i love where castleton put the cameras on the XD40s...there like hidden along the sides of the window...looks baddaSs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your impatience is annoying the hell out of everyone, relax yourself. 4899 probably wont be in service for a while considering that Castleton mechs have to check out the bus (engine and so-on). It'll probably be in service later this week (if its at Castleton) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted September 22, 2012 Share #2735 Posted September 22, 2012 MTA must really want to make some cash for ads, I see they've started putting them on the front of LFSAs. Some of the Quill buses have them now, wonder if they'll put them on all of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know exactly who you're talking about - that's my boy. I saw him on the fuel line tonight as I was going home. If you want a real LTD operator, you better hope you're on my bus one night. lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojiMet86 Posted September 22, 2012 Share #2737 Posted September 22, 2012 I'm just checking out some old photos from the old private companies and now-retired buses in the Bus Photos and Videos. You can always go click on the "Last Page" option on the Bus Photos and Videos. You can do the same thing for the subway section, too. Just seeing those diverse fleets brings me nostalgia. Just don't bump any threads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo19 Posted September 22, 2012 Share #2739 Posted September 22, 2012 is 4899 like rare?? its been in s.i for about a week or 2....and its been at zerega....and no one has a photo or video of it?? If I was in the area as periodically used to be, I would have tried to get if I could, however I'm not even in NYC. Unfortunately, many of the members in NY are not near SI. Your requests are justified, however your getting just a little crazy about a particular bus. Likewise other members are a little hostile toward you. If it is of any use, 4899 isn't moving for a while, and it will be here for more than 12 years. One day, it will run in to you, until then, just sit back and relax. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitz Posted September 22, 2012 Share #2740 Posted September 22, 2012 These LFSA's are racking up miles fast. 5970 and 5975 came in for their first S/O inspection/oil change yesterday both with over 3100 miles already. Even though they all came to 126th with about 500 miles already on them, it's still crazy to see 2500 miles put on a bus in less than a month 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted September 22, 2012 Share #2741 Posted September 22, 2012 Did the D60s get that much mileage when they first came out? I sure hope the MTA has a by year warranty than by miles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted September 22, 2012 Share #2742 Posted September 22, 2012 Nicely NG-free day today. 9487 (all the way in Brooklyn for the shuttle), 9687, 4837, and 979. 4837 is the first Xcelsior I've been on, and I definitely see why people like these things so much. Really good bus, amazing ride for a low floor, moved along too. As for 979, well, it's had a long life... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted September 23, 2012 Share #2747 Posted September 23, 2012 It's one thing to like them, but like turbo19 said, you need to calm down on the NF lovefest. It's just a bus. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted September 23, 2012 Share #2748 Posted September 23, 2012 I take it the MTA is giving up on the whole LCD ads program? The Quill D60s are starting to get standard ads put on top of the LCD ones... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Quill D60s are starting to get standard ads put on top of the LCD ones... i still can't wrap my mind around why they are not removing those screens. especially with all these buses their 8 year overhaul recently. i can understand why they wouldn't remove them if the screens were used fairly recently. But to my recollection, those screens haven't been used in 3 or 4 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
