They should really take nova's off the hyde park express because that pavement gouge will easily get that bus airborne if you go over it way too fast and at the wrong angle. The novas are already bouncy enough as it is.

No, there’s a strip of pavement that’s been gouged out across all the lanes, on NB LSD, right before Walden Ave. People who haven’t wised up yet, including some drivers, hit that gouge at 50+ mph. Ensue momentary chaos

I passed by a northbound J14 on Jeffery near 89th street (a 4K artic) between 7:30pm and 8:00pm tonight. It had the same sign. The bus was not full, in fact I don't think there were 5 passengers on it. ?

They've added quite a few new updates to the clever device which now allows operators to add "BUS IS FULL", "BUS MAY RUN EXPRESS" ,among other messages to be displayed to passengers, the only drawback is I'm not positive that very operator knows how to use the new additions yet. Also in regards to the passenger that got passed up on the J14 that operator may of had a full load before he got down to the south side of the route or they may of been doing drop offs only up until they got under 15 passengers. Dont shoot the messenger but quite a few operators have taken advantage of abusing every tool the authority has given them.
