Introducing the M14A/D Select Bus Service

Starting July 1, 2019, we are bringing Select Bus Service to the M14 A/D.
Select Bus Service (SBS) is a package of improvements designed to target and correct the circumstances that slow down buses and make service unreliable. Citywide, customers are more satisfied with their SBS bus than their local or limited (LTD) bus.
On July 1, we will introduce to the M14 A/D:
Better bus stop spacing
Off-board fare payment (you may have noticed new machines at your stop)
All-door boarding

Neutered thanks to NIMBYs blocking bus-only lanes in court.

[@Eric-qe6xz]

Now if only a bunch of selfish nimbys didn't block the bus Lanes... Don't give up. Keep fighting for better transit for all New Yorkers. Go to the supreme Court if you have to. We're rooting for you!

[@TheRailLeaguer]

Eric Cholico They have a bunch of allies in the form of most east village residents, Riders Alliance, and others.

[@GIJew]

They should have a camera at every intersection in Manhattan. Every block you drive in the bus lane, a $100 fine. Only so long as that money goes to the MTA, and not De Blasio, I'm happy.

[@ceoofprosciutto235]

@@GIJew that's a good Idea and yes it would help the MTA

[@carla919]

What would be really nice is to have bus stops with barriers so that cars and trucks cannot park in the bus stops and make it easier for people with limited mobility so they won't have to go into the middle of the street in order to board the bus.

[@noahg4038]

Only if they let 14th become a bus lane - it’s currently in judicial limbo.

[@TheRailLeaguer]

noah g I heard that Schwartz and his crybabies do not any form of bus priority improvement on 14th Street. How selfish of them. 14th Street deserves better bus service.

[@maknyc1539]

It is

[@mayormatt2612]

This is great!

[@newpractice]

thanks to your video i will be on this line soon!

[@BJMediaTransit8516]

M14A/D SBS service is not specifically just because of the L Project. It is to speed up service along 14th Street because it is a busy street, and pretty much now all articulated routes in Manhattan that are based out of Michael J. Quill Depot are using this updated SBS livery fleet, and the fleet of the M15 SBS changed from the 2010 Novabus LFS Articulated fleet to the 2019 New Flyer XD60 Xcelsior Articulated fleet, even though it is based out of Mother Clara Hale Depot.

[@BJMediaTransit8516]

We should have the B38 limited converted to an SBS route.

[@BenTheMiner]

Nice, oatmilk ads. Also, the buses in the video were not serving the select bus service routes. :P

MTA Bus Faner! Nigga it’s pride, how do gay people bother you if they didn’t do anything wrong to you LMFAO

[@AutomotiveTaurus]

@MTA Bus Faner! Most know better than not to get sexual contact with others in different sex marriage. I felt stuck up that in some countries like Jamaica, Nigeria, etc. , have homo marriage as illegal and I find that as an oppression. I also have a male friend who is in same sex marriage, and he went to Nigeria in March and they told him, "wish you make a baby for me", he would only say that "It will never happen". He was careful to not express the truth because, it is illegal in Nigeria. This is also why many are DL because of those, and this is how men gets sucidal 3x as much for those.

[@bruh-qq1sx]

@A Google User those were pride Month ads. You should support it as it is now a part of Human Society.

[@BenTheMiner]

I never cared about what you think about LGBT ads existing... Don't bring up random topics that are irrelevant, I just wanted to make a comment. You can bring your randomness somewhere else.

[@omegagamer1860]

Mta For the win

[@broyofroyo1207]

Great idea

[@dj__projects]

It would have been nice to see the Busway proposal go through. I'm neither for nor against the protesters. Admittedly, more cars would have needed to be redirected. Perhaps along with buses, HOVs could travel along those streets. That's how they created those Lanes on the Staten Island Expressway.

[@ianwitte836]

[@RainbowSpinDashIsawesome]

It's legit 😎

[@BJMediaTransit8516]

Now the M14 SBS can share fleet with the other SBS routes at Michael J. Quill Depot.

[@TheRailLeaguer]

MP.4 Channel That’s good. Keep in mind that there will be 15 XE60s coming in to displace the 2016-17 XD60s to Tuskegee Airmen Depot. They will primarily run on the M14 SBS, but can use the chargers on 42nd Street if they wish.

[@Journal_Squareee]

Funfact, the M14 SBS was supposed to be temporary during the L Project but instead MTA surprised us with this

[@BJMediaTransit8516]

Will OMNY be on the SBS machines?

[@MIkeDye200202holla]

Not yet

[@Eric-qe6xz]

Not yet, OMNY is only for Staten Island Buses and the Lexington Avenue Line south of 42nd Street and the Eastern Parkway Line west of Atlantic Avenue. But don't worry! OMNY will be everywhere by 2022-ish!

[@hihi217]

I know this is a very old comment, but I think they'll be on each door, and not the sidewalk machines itself. I remember seeing a bracket near the back door of an M14-SBS that seems like it would fit an OMNY reader.

[@Angel1224Transit]

Yayy

[@matthewhernandez8342]

Can you make the Q60 into SBS?

[@therealchrisazitube]

Pls Make the Bx 42 a Sbs and ltd

[@zeideankrah8370]

Agreed with u on that the bx42 should be a limited bus; however based on the Bronx bus route redesign its kind of stupid what they did to the Bx40/42. Thankfully the D60s are gone so idk tbh

[@QuarioQuario54321]

They should make it so that cars can only go north and south on 5th and 8th avenues and east and west on small residential streets.

[@gemini.2242]

People are still going to hop the buses

[@TheRailLeaguer]

gemini. SBS lines have a fare evasion rate of 2.6% so with the M14 an SBS line, the fare evasion should go down slightly.

How tall is bus stop sign or pole from NYC?

"Less waiting, Faster Boarding" They dont think about Traffic ;-;

Lily Mendez For now, it’s like less waiting, faster boarding, more slower because of Schwartz stopping buses.

Stop stealing Flatbushes XD60s!

[@TheRailLeaguer]

NYCT Enthusiast Why? It was for the greater good.

[@AutomotiveTaurus]

MJQ has their needs(especially when I was working with them), like how the needed XD60s, they took from Tuskegee Airmen in order to fill for their +Select Bus Services until their new LFSAs comes. I'm still wanting for FB to get back their XD60s, but their says for B46 +SBS and the stops in construction are not up yet. It's now a near summer pick(also posted a vid of the reconstruction yesterday, along with M14 +SBS launch). There's also 3 B46 +SBS stops towards Bed-Stuy that needs reconstruction.

[@TheRailLeaguer]

King Auto & Xcelsior Operator They will get XD60s for the B46 SBS soon once MQ gets their 15 XE60s. However, the Flatbush fleet is going to be a mix of 2017 and 2019 XD60s, more specially 17 2017 XD60s for the B46 and 36 2019 XD60s for the B44. Total of 53 XD60s for Flatbush. Quill would have enough buses for the M14 SBS since 21 XD60s plus 15 XE60s equals 36 buses for them, alongside the 113 LFSAs that they will also share with the other SBS routes at Quill.

[@AutomotiveTaurus]

@@TheRailLeaguer B46 +SBS can also be shared with the 2019s, because the 2017 has 4% more defects than 2019s.

[@TheRailLeaguer]

King Auto & Xcelsior Operator Great, but what’s with the defects on these XD60s now? What the hell is happening?
