Tuesday night, over by my girlfriend house, a PPK bound B16 bus on Ocean Ave was sporting a B46: Kings Plz destination sign. A block away on Flatbush, I did not see any B41s sporting the destination. It wouldve been nice to see the KP bound B41s sporting that destination sign.... |

Agreed, Yes CP depot did for the connection from the N.Shore QM1a to the Downtown QM1. I used to change to fareset1 the local bus fare set and use the 1 or F1 key to print a transfer, but all other faresets have been disabled on our buses. |

I had to reinstruct numerous operators on this crap the past few days. I told them if they want to tribute the operator send the family some money!Operators are forbidden from displaying unauthorized destination signs via directive. I'll give them a few more days and then I'll get a few violations! |

Operators are forbidden to display anything except the route they are working and Not in Service/Next Bus Please signs. This directive was issued when the Yankees and Mets were in the subway series in 2000. Operators in all the boroughs were displaying BX6 Yankee Stadiums signs.Because of the situation this week I have been only giving verbal warnings to the operators, but last night I did write a operator up for it because I caught him pulling in off route. Many operators do this anyway and I normally just warn them, but after two warnings I give them a violation. Once I caught an operator with a Not in Service displayed while in service and I wrote him up for that. Favorite signs are usually a Evacuation Center and Training Bus. |

Perhaps when these unfortunate events occur, a P/R reading can be programmed in so the sign can still display NOT IN SERVICE but also a tribute.I agree, there are far better ways to honor the slain driver's life than displaying B46 destination signs that are potentially confusing to the riding public. |

Most Grand Avenue buses that I see deadheading on Greenpoint Avenue display that sign, it's great that many operators are sticking together and paying respects to one another.As for confusing passengers, unless the bus was deadheading near the B46 route itself, it shouldn't that much of an issue. |

Wow, that's kinda tough, but eh, your running the routes there, I am not going to tell you how to do things.But perhaps give it till after the funeral services are over on Monday? Maybe some workers feels this is the best way to relieve their feelings? I know it's against protocol, but it's not often a co-worker is killed and hopefully this won't happen again for a while. [Hopefully they are sending more cops along the B46 line as well. If not undercover cops on the buses.] |

Its not that it confusing, at least not in any borough outside of Brooklyn, but operators are forbidden from displaying any sign except what they are working.Also if a bus is pulling in to the depot customers will just see a destination being displayed and not even bother to read it just seeing it says something other than not in service. Also disabled customers with vision problems will get confused. I don't see how displaying a B46 sign is a memory to the operator. If operators are permitted to do this they will display any sign except the one they are supposed to display. |

I'll even give you a better one that today would get the bus driver killed.In the 1960's the driver had a bad day and became a little insane. This was when you had to pull the chord to signal to stop and it wasn't silenced after the first pull. Sometimes people would forget and pull it a second time after someone else already pulled it. Apparently this day it was happening quite frequently and the driver was getting a little annoyed so he announced that if anyone pulls it a second time after it was already pulled, he wouldn't stop at all if no one was getting on. So this guy had to get off at Avenue T. He thought the bus driver didn't remember, (remember, no lit up sign to check) so he pulls it a second time just as the driver is approaching the stop. So the driver accelerates again and doesn't stop. He asks why and the driver said because you pulled it twice. The man gets so angry and next time purposely pulls it ten times. Again the stop is passed. For some strange reason, no one has to get on. (Guess there must have been another bus not too far in front of us.) The man continues to ring more than once per block and we continue going. He finally gives in and only rings once. But to his misfortune, someone else rings, so on we go. There is finally only one ring and the man gets off at Avenue K, over a mile from his destination. He probably had to take another bus back. Now imagine if the driver worked for Mr. Softee instead. |

As long as I feel an operator has control of his vehicle thats what matters. You can observe an operator and tell whether he is in control of his bus or not. |

He IS being lenient. All of the operators know the protocol and the last thing that anyone needs is a call saying that a driver flagged a passenger because a "Not In Service" sign was not displayed. Any bus without a Not In Service or Training Bus sign is considered by most passengers to be in service. They cannot tell the difference. |

We have a whole new set of managers at MTV and the union tried bending the ear of the new AGS about my bring too proactive and aggressive. Luckily the AGS is a mentor of mine. He was my first line trainer when I graduated from school as a bus operator and I made dispatcher about two years after he did and we worked together for many years at Mother Hale.He went into management and I'm happy for him. Anyway he called me in and told me the union camplained about my work and he told me keep up the good work do not slow down at all. Good thing about MTA is that you can't change anything here, but if you can make a little difference you've done a whole lot! |
