Posted by Terrapin Station on Fri Dec 5 10:02:32 2008 No, the vintage bus didn't break, but this is breaking news/rumor. I heard that the buses are canceled for Monday (only). Don't know why or how. That's all I know. Sorry. |

It might just be that they are taking them out for one day for servicing, granted they only run one month a year, and they are fairly old in terms of age and reliability - I don't think it's anything to worry about |

While Monday is fair, it's Saturday night into Sunday that probably made the decision. I heard that there would be a 40 to 50% chance of snow during this time, and that snow might accumulate.I also clarified the title. |

Trucks can slide into them on DRY pavement, have we forgot about the yellow roaches (the NYC Taxi) which is a hazard in any weather. Parts? Parts aren't THAT impossible for these buses, alot of the parts are proprietary. |

Do u think that the ta has nothing better to do then chase after parts and repair those buses, when they have to repair the ones that bring in the money.I can`t remeber the times i waited for a bus to come out of maintance to make service |

Don't take it personal, however. It's nothing against you at all whatsoever. Considering what has happened with 100---axle (this bus had gotten a workout last year and at the roadeo when it did the course) and 5117---unknown (never mind 1059 and many others), this is no surprise that the buses need a rest.However, I would be shocked if any ran until at least Wednesday. |

I'm surprised they decided to run a vintage bus on the Q32. I mean sure Queens riders should be able to ride a vintage bus, but isn't that kinda a 'long' route? I mean isn't that the point why mainly crosstown lines in Manhattan are the ones the buses runs on? |
