DaTransitMan4608 Posted April 28, 2017 Share #951 Posted April 28, 2017 Roaches for sure, "bedbugs" specifically idk definitely gross. Oddly enough, as more people got on the less there were. Guess the saying: "they're more afraid of you then you are of them" is true to an extent. Moths, caterpillars and trash for one thing. West Farms gotta get their shit together but to a greater extent: BRONX PPL HAVE TO STOP LITTERING IN GENERAL!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app I think many of the folks who take WF routes feel the same way about them as you do. I remember riding an XN40 on the Bx6 a few weeks back and hearing "Nah I like this bus. It's better than them raggedy-ass ones they always using." WF needs to get it together in terms of basically everything IMO. Idk if it's just me, but it seems like every WF route I take has a driver taking a longer layover than usual. This mainly happens on the Bx15 and Bx19. Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This mainly happens on the Bx15 and Bx19. Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app I would say GA routes are notorious for that, especially those from WBP. I would say reliability of most GA is low (again, with the exception of the B32). Anyways, I've taken my fair share of Orion VII CNG's on the Bronx and Brooklyn routes, with the exception of the B70. I'm going to have to get some footage of the Orion VII CNGs on that route before they all get scrapped. It's already hard since JG doesn't have many Orions compared to WF (as a % of the depot fleet).

Future ENY OP Posted April 28, 2017 Share #953 Posted April 28, 2017 I would say GA routes are notorious for that, especially those from WBP. I would say reliability of most GA is low (again, with the exception of the B32). The WBP routes + WoodHull and Ridgewood routes are the same way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteriousBtrain Posted May 1, 2017 Share #966 Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) 7746 for scrap; end of the modified CNG buses Plus 5639 and 5671 to scrap. I would think we would lose 5500's before 5600's, but I guess they keep getting into accidents. Edited May 1, 2017 by ShadeJay 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list that TransitMan has is listed by model year, not built year. Also, 7564 and 7566 are '02 models. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app 5639 has missing windows, no exhaust pipe and no back sign, so that unit may be most likely done. However, for 5671, wait a bit because that bus looks a bit decent and could return to service. Actually both could return to service since I haven't heard of a more recent accident, so they are not official scrap yet.
