No, you saw the older C40. I saw 230 on the B8 yesterday @ around 4:30 from my window.

Must have made a quick trip to The Bronx. Did it have the Jackie Gleason sticker on it? When I saw it it had the JG stickers.

You might have seen one of the new C40LFs as the Q50 is at College Point but not 230 as that bus has been at Gleason since the beginning of December.

Literally 10 minutes ago I saw a new C40LF running on the B68 at the intersection of Neptune Avenue and West 5th Street.

How?  The new C40 has faster take-off and looks better.

There's a share of good and bad drivers on the line. Some of my favorites are some of those guys that drive the LFS's that the route has and that driver that drives the RTS with that lovely accent *picks up the phone intercom thingy*(Ocean Avenue, B4, B49), (Bedford Avenue), (Nostrand Avenue, B44) and that lady that drives the RTS in the morning. I haven't seen her in a while. I thought the B36 was just RTS's and LFS's.

The B36 gets whatever bus they decide to bring out except the MCI's and the incoming Prevost's.

EXCLUSIVE ! ! ! ! Mta 2011 Orion 3G's #7051 & Others Being Delivered To Ulmer Park Depot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vw_479aIo48#ws)
here's a video of them being delivered to Ulmer Park..not my video lol

Ulmer Park should be done with their new buses by now as Castleton is starting to get their Orion 3Gs. Based on what I've read (dont know how true it is though) the MTA has put the XD40 order on hold due to structural issues with the buses.

According to NYCTF, the entire 3G order has been built.

Look on the corner of Harway Ave and Bay 37th St. The B82 should pass there.
