Depending on how they've been staffed, a 9a-9p schedule would require double the drivers... a 12 hour driving shift isn't legal. That means training additional people to drive the older buses, many of which don't have power steering (unless it's been added in restoration). |

If they are out you wouldn't have to wait terribly long for one.I doubt more than 2 would be out at any given time. |

Posted by Joe V on Wed Nov 30 07:11:57 2016, in response to Re: Holiday Bus Schedule Announced, posted by Catfish 44 on Tue Nov 29 21:24:50 2016. I'd like to ride the Mack. My only vague memories of them date back to the early 1960's, and also some left in Buffalo in 1975.Even when I was 3 - 4 years old, I could tell them from a GM Old Look, though I had no idea who built them or when. I remember the low-toned engine sound, the pointy rear wheel hubs, and the rectangular standee windows. I actually though they were an older version of the GM Old Look, and as they aged, the tone of the engine would drop as well. Then again, back then, I thought the H2C coupler on the R16 was a huge magnet since I could not decipher a RR style knuckle as I would see on an MP54. |

I think that the last time I rode a MACK Eisenhower was the president. The historic buses seem to run a long intervals. It help to take Patience with you, or Prudence or Charity. Larry, RedbirdR33 |

That make sense since I was under the impression that the mTA didn’t want their vintage buses running after dark since there might be a higher chance of accidents. |

A couple of years ago, I got a copy of the operator's manual for the C49 Mack bus prepared for New York City Transit. It's about 32 half pages long and I just scanned it and can attach it in an email to anyone who wants it. Just send me your email address and I'll sent in to you in 3 emails each containing about 12 pages. |
