Yes, let's play your game. You wrote:

As somebody else suggested elsewhere in this thread, maybe the union is sabotaging them.

Since you didn't terminate your response with a question mark, but instead closed with a period, you made a statement as opposed to asking a question. In your statement, you agree that "maybe the union is sabotaging them".

By definition, sabotage means:
— n
1. The deliberate destruction, disruption, or damage of equipment, a public service, etc, as by enemy agents, dissatisfied employees, etc
2. Any similar action or behaviour
— vb
3. To destroy, damage, or disrupt, esp by secret means
You reiterated someone elses notion that "maybe the union is sabotaging them". When you repeat that opinion and pose it as, or as part of your own response, by default, you agree with it. You certainly didn't oppose the notion; didn't disagree with it, but instead chose it to represent your own perspective and/or opinion.

You then wrote:

It is odd that those buses run well elsewhere but somehow "become" defective upon arriving in Queens.

Why would you deliberately chose to emphasize the word "become"? If not as an intentional effort to support your agreement that "maybe the union is sabotaging them", then for what reason, exactly? A genuine and honest statement is lost when you emphasize "become".

Insinuation:
1. An indirect or covert suggestion or hint, especially of a derogatory nature
2. Covert or artful suggestion or hinting, as of something implied
I imagine most here recognize exactly what you are insinuating.
