r/nycbus

Had never heard about this team before or seen it either.I got kicked off a bus today for refusing to show proof of payment. I had paid, but with a credit card, and obviously you don’t get a receipt or ticket. So I was unwilling to to tap my credit card on some random guys phone scanner who wasn’t even dressed in MTA PD or NYPD uniform. Is this not an insane way to enforce a bus fare? I’m all for paying for the bus but what is stopping any random bozo from dressing like a rent a cop and skimming everyone’s credit card? I even asked the guy to show some ID and he just gestured to his uniform and said this is enough ID. Which is hilarious when you clearly aren’t even wearing a police officer’s uniform.

It’s gotten to the point where when the MTA app says a bus is leaving their start in 5 minutes, I assume it will leave in 30 mins when the third bus is leaving, and usually seems to track

Considering how many subway lines stop at 28th St (1, 6, R, W) should there be a crosstown route along 27th and 28th in Manhattan and how would it be planned out if it existed?

IMO it should run from Hudson Yards to Bellevue Hospital

Does anyone know which depot they store the historic buses that get brought out to the dumbo bus fair? Obviously looking for insider insight.
