The M96s run frequently and every bus is crowded as hell. Run M96 artics out of MCH and Tusky You probably don’t know how crowded the B1 gets, considering your based out of Manhattan (just a guess). 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is gonna have a major impact on school runs, and overall transportation in the city. With everything going on, this is definitely getting delayed. The demand isn't there anymore and they'll have more time to properly execute the conversion. You heard it from me first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to that effect has been announced (yet). 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to wonder if the MTA is considering wholesale service cuts, but not to the point where a hearing would have to be held, as ridership has fallen precipitously citywide because of COVID-19. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way those tanks will explode is if there's a leak and someone lights up a flame, or if it gets it with force, causing it to damage both the roof casing and the tank itself. Neither of that actually happens here, or anywhere in the US for that matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the Bronx need any buses in exchange? They already received 10 buses from Flatbush Depot, and they might of had extra articulated buses before. Not sure though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So about how many 40 footers will be pushed out of UP? My guess is that XD40’s will go to another Brooklyn depot and if Bronx is in need of any buses, NGs will be sent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
