MTA NYC Bus: 2018-19 XD40 on the B41

- Two videos of 2018-19 XD40s 7629 and 7643 on the B41. 7629 was recorded on 01/10/2019 and 7643 on 01/09/2020.
In order for the B46 to become an all articulated bus operation, the 2018-19 XD60s were moved to local service from SBS service.
I heard that SBS was phased out.
Imagine if MTA NYC Bus and MTA NYCT Subways stopped operating cause of a strike and MTA Bus was the only thing operating, I would think the MTA Bus Express routes will allow both drop offs and pick ups no matter the borough and direction.
What would you do/think.
Hey there does it seem like a good idea to cut the Z back to Crescent Street then having it run express between Broadway Junction and Marcy Av, for the lack of Z service in Queens I can see adding more J trains to the schedule and from now on the J will be all local, but I’m asking you because you seem to know a lot and to see if it’s a good idea.
That could be contingent on adding a middle track up the whole line and rebuilding stations
However, what I could see is this happening:
(J) Jamaica Center to Broad Street. Local 10 trains per hour.
(Z) Jamaica Center to Broad Street. Peak direction express between Broadway Junction and Marcy Avenue.
@@TheRailLeaguer Seems like a good idea but it’s sad that the Archer Av line was built with 3 tracks in mind but it never happened but your idea seems good, but my idea can also be an alternate solution if the MTA doesn’t want to change anything physically. Also this is off topic bus MTA Long Island Bus should come back after TransDev 10 year contract for NICE expires (If they don’t renew it that is)
@@Maunico0809 Possibly.
I saw this bus before.
These buses actually look good.
It does. As of today, some of the buses are getting the local scheme.
On a scale of 1 to 10. How would you scale the redundancy of the Q33 ever since it was cut from LaQuarida Airport, explain why.
It appears @Mystic Transit ex-communicated me from speaking in the channel due to respectful opposition of his asinine de-interlining plan. Sadly, I'm not going to comment on there, so don't even attempt to get my attention as I CAN'T comment on it. 😑
ORIGINAL COMMENT:
It's idiotic. Reading your plan is even confusing.
"(R)/(W): consolidated into one (R) route. Astoria-Ditmars to Coney Island. Broadway Local, 4th Avenue Local-West End. Twenty trains per hour (full route)."
This is stupid because once again, you're taking Broadway service away from Queens Boulevard and placing it into Astoria, Queens. When doing that, you're adding more commuters on existing (E) and (F) express services and amplifying more inconveniences, especially on the East Side and the IRT Lexington Avenue Line. Arguably, more frequency is the position to support, but it matters when people WANT it and will use it. If more service is your argument, explain why the (G) was cut back to Long Island City-Court Square permanently when it was operating to Queens Boulevard late nights and weekends?
Now to Coney Island, I understand why you prefer (R) service on Coney Island Yard. You want the (R) to operate to Astoria, Queens, as opposed to Jamaica Yard because service would be better. Unfortunately, the service you proposed isn't better because you're effectively removing a Broadway Express train hauling to Coney Island in exchange for more local service.
Not only it's unnecessarily long, but it's also inconvenient as there isn't a huge demand for local service on Fourth Avenue. The vast majority of commuters are flying down Fourth Avenue. There is more demand for Coney Island, so shifting from Express to Local service to Coney Island isn't ideal.
"(N)/(Q): Combined into one single (N) schedule (trains will still be designated as (N) or (Q)). 96th Street-2nd Avenue to Coney Island (N) or Brighton Beach (Q). Broadway Express, Manhattan Bridge, Brighton Local (N), or Express (Q). 15 (N) tph, 15 (Q) tph."
Okay, ignoring that (Q) service to 96TH Street-Second Avenue doesn't need definite help and the fact that Phase III and IV would launch the (T) service to run between East Harlem-125TH Street and Hanover Square via Second Avenue-effectively creating an issue of a northern terminal for the (N). You're also placing BMT Broadway primarily on Brighton, so I have a question to ask? Which train is going to be part time, the (N) or the (Q)? The (B) is part time and it has the perfect role of operating as Brighton Express 19/5. If either the (N) or (Q) is going to Brighton Beach, it is required for the service to be part-time. Given that you're merging the (N) and (Q), it would seem redundant to have these services running at all times.
Another thing to consider is removing an Express (N) in Astoria, Queens and exchanging it to more local service. It's frustrating to repeat that local service isn't in huge demand.
The (B) runs on Sixth Avenue as Express on weekdays, it's the perfect part-time service, having the (N) or (Q) as full-time routes delegated as part-time routes doesn't make sense given what's explained above.
"(B): Bedford Park Blvd to Bay Ridge-95th Street. Concourse-8th Avenue Local, 6th Avenue Express, Manhattan Bridge, 4th Avenue Express to 36th Street, then local to 95th Street. 12-15 tph
(D): 168th Street to Coney Island. 8th Avenue Local, 6th Avenue Express, Manhattan Bridge, 4th Avenue Express-Sea Beach. 12-15 tph."
It is prioritizing the (D) to Coney Island because it's the only train running express to Coney Island in Fourth Avenue, as not many riders are going to use (R) via local to Coney Island. In addition to taking part-time (B) back to Fourth Avenue and instructing it to run to Bay Ridge-95TH Street...
Reading your idiotic plan, it's diverting existing express services in areas in demand for an artificial demand for local services.
Having the (A) and (C) replaced with (B) and (D) as local services in Eighth Avenue and effectively making them part-time services brings back issues with a full-route not running over in Fourth Avenue, effectively creating longer commutes.
That's what you want? That's idiotic.
"This should help smooth service on the existing trackage, with no new tunnels. Now come at me @Renegade MS."
This is exactly what I hate when rail enthusiasts who don't take their plans seriously. You ignore everything concerning in favor of your vision of an ideal transit system. I can do exactly what you did, but I don't view transit as an art project; I interpret this as a means of traveling to preferred destinations. The SAS is the perfect example; I understand the core mandate for SAS, and respect it. You guys, see it as an art project and yearn for it to operate throughout without acknowledging demand. The MTA understood this; terrible rail enthusiasts don't.
Why are you targeting me?
Now you’re trying to target Jeremiah on his channel too. Can you stop with your false information and conspiracies?
@@TheRailLeaguer I had to answer your question about your plan; I could not because @Mystic Transit deliberately targeted me from appearing on his channel due to opposition to his de-interlining plan.
It's typical for RUclipsrs to do that, especially when they prefer an echo chamber.
@@the-renegade What do you mean? Are you saying that my plan is good after all, and you misspoke the whole time? Don’t worry. I do have additional Subway and bus plans drafted up that builds off my deinterlining plan and related projects, like the Queens Blvd subway extension and more busways.
Also please listen to your father.
@@TheRailLeaguer Okay, anyway, you aren't going to see me on @Mystic Transit channel, I'll try my best to be part of the hive-mind next time. 🙄
I’m switching to a new channel
Nice
So Is FB Depot going to convert the B41 LTD to SBS or Not?
RA Productions. No plans as of yet. It appears they did not bother to remove the wraps.
Which is very funny by the way.
@@brandoncorrey8574 cool.
