I like how chill the MTA workers are
Cuz they making good money. They set for life.
@@LaYungFlocktrue
"pretty impressive turn" *seconds later* "oh shoot"
Lol brah
This is why one doesn't send out articulated buses in the snow.
But the MTA goes thru all the trouble of putting belts on. So what went wrong here? This artic clearly had belts on.
just a minor scratch don worry about it
😂out german busses and the ones in Switzerland are ok. Winter tyres is what you need. 😂😂😂
@@milestone_achiever4634 Sure, but they're trailer pushers. Rear wheel drive. During a turn you'll get slightly different traction on your inside and outside wheels. The operator's back end kicked out because he was essentially jackknifing the turn. Normally for us it's the back end kicks inward (curbside) while we're servicing stops. A buddy of mine totally wiped out a bus shelter this winter.
@@marcbeebee6969 My company has a fleet of 560 busses. (We're a small city)
It'd take half a year to change all the tires. Not to mention storage. Not even to mention cost.
This barely looks like a crash, it's just an accidental turn bump. It happens sometimes.
BenTheMiner / MTA Railfanner but xd60 lfsa no type of articulates should be operating in this weather
BenTheMiner / MTA Railfanner even that Q44 sbs that normally uses articulates had a short next gen
Transit True becuase the small buses are better to run in the snow, but the long buses are hard
hey ben i saw ur roblox game i am XSTEPBOI btw
BenGay
it's called an articulated bus
Exactly what i was saying
The Scription
Stop the bus crash
XD60 actually
@@realniggsolo Only New Flyer makes the XD60. NovaBus does in fact make Articulated versions of the LFS buses.
And that's why you run standard 40-foot buses in snowy weather. Back when these '15-'16 XD60s were still fairly new.
It doesn’t even look like a crash 😐
IT WAS A LIGHT TAP!!
Re-read the title.
It was a (what they call in spanish) "un besito"
Mirror strike, probably.
Talk about perfect timing for news!! Thankfully no one got hurt.
I was watching this live on T.V. and saw it. Even though the crash was very minor, people had to get off the bus and both drivers had to take a drug test.
For those wondering why the passengers had to get off the bus, no matter how severe the accident, you must evacuate the passengers, take the bus out of service to send it back to the yard, and send a new bus to pick us the passengers so they can continue their trip.
MTA LIRR Elmhurst Station They still had to send it back.
How about give the snow a drug test
zerega moment
@@Bklynkid52 Oh, weird. My company we don't evacuate unless there is a safety hazard. I keep my riders on my bus until the spare operator brings me a new bus. Then I take the new bus and transfer my riders. (Or, more likely, another bus comes past and takes my riders for me)
I mean if I have a CNG leak or something it's GTFO, but otherwise we'll just stay on the nice climate controlled bus and chill till supervision lets me move again.
Edmonton Transit uses the exact same New Flyer bendy buses on the worst snowy, icy roads with zero issues. It's not the buses fault, it's driver training and city road maintenance keeping the icy streets rock chipped
Oh yeah
Who would of thought to train articulated bus drivers to operate these types of buses in the snow
This was the Q111/Q113 Jamaica to far rockaway.
Q44 is select bus service.
@@ddrdanganvloger2187 You mean Q111* the actual Q11 bus runs on Woodhaven Blvd from Queens Blvd to Howard Beach.
@@ddrdanganvloger2187 It’s ok. 👍🏾😆
The q111 doesn’t go to far Rockaway
@@Journal_Squareee Hey Journal Square. That name suggests that you are probably a Jersey native and now you know so much about Queens bus routes.
FYI, the Q111, 113 and 114 all travel from Jamaica to far Rockaway. One of them is a limited route.
Quite frankly by this point in time there should be no more limited bus service on this route as many of them have converted to Select Bus Service.
Hopefully as time goes on both New Flyer and Nova will advance their drive systems on the artics to handle better in these types of weather conditions.
These buses are still being built with the same outdated and useless drive systems.
Long live the Neoplan AN460 Transliner. The best articulated bus ever to operate in the snow.
I was very fortunate to have witnessed them in the snow on Beeline and they blew all the other artics out the frame. I'm pretty sure Jersey's AN459s handled snow extremely well.
Their Nabis can't handle snow well. Their RTS buses handled snow like champs!!
O
At Chicago CTA, this is why we don't let our Articulated Buses on the streets in conditions like this
😂 winter tyres bro. You are invited to germany or Switzerland or Austria or or or 😅
@@marcbeebee6969 There'd be no place to store all the extra tires if my city used snows. Let alone cost and time to tireswap 500+ busses.
@@DAndyLord seriously you could be the next ceo at boing with those ideas. Did you also marry your cousin? Cause seems to be a expectation for the job 🤣🤣🤣🤣
No room, too expensive 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@marcbeebee6969 It takes 4 hours to swap a whole bus. There are 8 tire techs. There are 500+ busses. It is not feasible.
Not to mention that there is simply not the storage space at our garage for more than 3000 tires.
I drive for a medium sized Canadian city. We had 44 snow related incidents last winter. 4 serious incidents. (no injuries)
We have 500+ busses driving 18 hours a day.
@@DAndyLord how do we manage in our countries? Or all year tyres?
Greed is the problem. Go create business, not excuses
Atleast its not to severe just a little bump
Manual selection of gear 1 and slow turning will allow any transit bus to survive snowy weather conditions.
25 years of driving city buses in Toronto. Never got stuck, never went into the ditch, never lost control of the bus. Common sense just isn't that common. Not even for bus drivers. Oh yeah, and I sureashell never hit another bus.
This is why trains exist.
This is why mta doesnt send any articulated bus
Woah Spaghetti Trains don’t go everywhere What does this have to do with trains
Where are the RTSs
Hey, Kal-El!
Kal-El and two why are articulates running in snowy weather conditions
That's what I'd love to know
Kal-El the rts bus are the best for new york city im so sad that mta bus is getting rid of them
There are still some rts buses left. They should keep some in service. They are historic buses
two of my home route buses oof
Now this is why they use one sided buses for storms
The buses don't have power I. The middle wheels?
articulated busses cant be used in the snow for this reason
"oh shoot". He could have said something different, not as good. Good reporter.
I can hear the yardman now:
"Pretty hard being a yard dispatcher and giving out buses when you're stupid"
Accordion bus😂 We used to call them bendy buses in London. They were taken out of service back in 2012, permanently. Awful things, and I'm glad we didn't have them in my depot.
4 years ago
The Q6 is my home route
It won’t exist anymore in a year or 2 after the Queens bus redesign. Your new home route will be the Q1.
@@matthewhernandez8342 I'm aware of the queens bus redesign, and I don't like the idea getting rid of the Q6 for the Q1 to be extended. The Q6 is also slated to get new WiFi buses soon, later to next year.
@@omar.w939 Yeah but, hopefully it means the buses run more often. It’s probably gonna be pretty crowded cause they’re combing two lines.
@@omar.w939 Attest you have a one seat ride to Queens Village
@@matthewhernandez8342 yes of course, they're even going to eliminate some stops along sutphin.
The Bendy buses are turned Into Like A Nova RTS I bet It’s only for Snow Or Maybe the Orion NG Orion VII CNG recover for it

P_atchy called articulated buses
Gotta chain up folks like a trucker!
That bus slipped mta xcelsior xd60 articulated
I didn't look like he was driving that fast
That'll buff right out.
hector like new bus
My buses
Lol why a long bus gotta work on a snowy day?
Articulated bus
I knew this was gonna happen
I drive Nova Artic like this and i choose not to drive them during winter, it's just not fun.
Ah, the beloved Quebec crapshacks!
I've seen several videos involving MTA operators. It's sad to say from the videos I've seen, the operators need better training. In this video the operator set up his turn improperly, his speed while turning was too fast and he didn't use of his mirrors. The weather should have made him more cautious! SLOW DOWN!!
If he would've slowed down, the bus would've gotten stuck in the heavy snow.
😐😒 most exaggerated title ever. It's more like the XD60 "bumped" into an XD40.
Lol google bus go uphill in snow and reflect America. Winter tyres are a thing you know 😂
They shouldn't drive XD60's, XN60's, LFSA's during snow storms
No u
@@LoneEevee9063 no u
So MTA can let a All Artic route (Q44) Use a Next Gen but cant let Q111 Use any 40 foot buses
This is why I hate snow
Why were they using 60ft buses anyways sigh
Wrrrd. But now days, the mta uses 40 foots from either its depots or any other depots, also known as "Snow Loans"
This is why you save your sick hours
“Collide”
Its not like the XD60 crashed into the Orion VII at 150 MPH, they did technically touch/colide.
There is a problem here. NYC transit puts belts on all the articulated buses during that time. That articulated bus had belts on the back wheels.
So what went wrong????
I know
YOU MEAN SNOW CHAINS??
This is the Stupidest thing mta do put driver at risk that’s not the driver fault that’s mta fault for providing service in snow when they Know them selves it’s a hard to drive in these storms
Lmao all on video
Queens N.Y.
Yo i know him
ARTICULATED BUSES NOT ACCORDING
Same thing tho
It’s a accordion in the middle of the bus so you can call it both
