    Man, to think this service has been around for.....9 years, and it all started with the Bx12! There has been some improvements on the various lines that saw conversion, and there are others that have gotten worse(coughM23cough).
    This video isn't really about the lines and such, but more about the design changes with the fleet and the aesthetics that came with the conversion from LIMITED service to +Select Bus Service+. We've had scheme changes, to light changes, to sign changes, to most recently, fleet changes over the past 9 years.
    Bus fleet seen here are as follows
    2004 New Flyer D60HF: Detroit Diesel Series 50 EGR & Allison B-500R WTEC
    2008-2009 Orion VII Next Generation Hybrid: Cummins ISB & BAE Systems HybriDrive
    2009-2010 NovaBus LFS Artic: Cummins ISL & ZF ECOMAT-4 6HP-604C
    2012 NovaBus LFS Artic: Cummins ISL9 & ZF Ecolife 6AP1700B
    2015 New Flyer XD40 "Xcelsior": Cummins ISL9 & Allison WB-400R Gen V
    2017 New Flyer XD60 "Xcelsior" Artic: Cummins ISL9 & Allison WB-500R Gen V
    I hope you guys enjoyed the video. Subscribe & stay tuned for more!!

    As of December 1st, 2017, let me see if I have it right.
    B46 and Q70: XD40; Bx6: Xn40; Q44, Q52 and Q53: XD60 and everyone else: Novabus LFSA.
    If so, you need to update this because the MTA is bringing in New XD60s to push the LFSAs off the B44 SBS and M15 SBS, which I still wish they didn't. What do you think?

    I truly believe the white text and the overall headsign feature on #7453 for Q70 was done beautifully. The amber-colored text with blue background is a-bit hard to read.

      Ridership doesn't warrant them.

      All these years, it's been about ridership? If anything, they should make the S40 an SBS.

      This video wasn't so much about the routes, but more about the fleet. You should probably read the description section of the video. The M14A/M14D will have its own video.

    Why do some of the buses have flashing blue lights next to their route signs?

    • @ShaneAkACaitSith810
      @ShaneAkACaitSith810  7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      +MicheyJoe - That was a part of how Select Bus Service would be originally. The flashing blue lights would help differentiate between a local bus and SBS.
      The reason they dont use them anymore is because of a few things, Staten Islanders would confuse the bus for an emergency service vehicle, and that the color blue was reserved for such vehicles.
      This is why we now have blue flashing destination signs.

      Because they cut the headways after 8pm(which is the time I tend to use it after work). Service kinda sucks after that time compared to the other crosstown routes.

      True, a poor attempt to make rapid bus transit but at least it's getting better...🤗
