From the numerous times I've seen buses laid over on Throop or Flushing Ave doing runs on the B43 I'd assume there was lot of bunching/cutting trips short! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wondering about this too and have observed the one (seemingly random) articulated running along the line as I take the line frequently. Ridership surely does demand for a longer bus most of the time and I've had to let a bus pass before getting on. What I'd love to know: are those 6000s that are supposedly staying at LGA still being loaned to MTA Bus? As these buses still have "New York City Transit" stickers on the side and I've heard before that MTA Bus has to pay for these buses until they're finished being loaned. Would love to have a clarification on this and definitely looking forward to the relief of longer buses!!

RSMG106 Posted February 6, 2020 Share #4596 Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) So today, I was on 5903, a 2012 Novabus LFS Artic based out of OH. During its run on the M103, the third door located in the rear malfunctioned. It took at least 30 seconds before the door was normal. Whenever it does that, the bus operator turns off the vehicle, and turns it back on to resolve the issue. I wanted to ask, since that I rode the LFS Artics most of the time, if there are similar units that had issues like this, or that bus operators had issues with the doors on the LFS Artics? That was not the first time that this happened. I encountered these instances a few times in 2019 on some units.

Same thing happened when I was on a Novabus LFS (I think it was 8087) on the Q17 about a year ago.

tlcohen Posted February 7, 2020 Share #4598 Posted February 7, 2020 Speaking of NovaBus problems, Montreal has had more than its share: Some of Montreal's new hybrid buses sent back to factory for repairs: https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/some-of-montreals-new-hybrid-buses-sent-back-to-factory-for-repairs Many of the hybrid buses in the STM's first major order had a defect: https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/many-of-the-hybrid-buses-in-the-stms-first-major-order-had-a-defect I hope NYC has better luck when the LFS hybrids arrive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted February 10, 2020 Share #4599 Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) Here's pics of our new Prevosts from the Altoona report. This bus looks like MTA spec but I'm unsure if Prevost numbered it 6317 or if ours will actually use that number series.
