It used to be that special ed buses ... and I think even trip buses ... could fuel any day, don't know if that's still the case  ... as well as spares. Any day except Friday, of course.  Even the pope relented and said you can eat meat on Friday but  THOU SHALL NOT GET FUEL ON FRIDAY!!!      

This really isn't a new rule but apparently it's being newly enforced more stringently. It's been the "rule" for over 3 decades. But it started when there was usually only 1 fuel pump in use (though there were 2 pumps) located alongside the back of the shop. Smaller tank and only diesel.

Now there are 2 pumps in use and much larger tanks with 2 types of fuel. Why is this still necessary???

What kind of bs is that we have to worry about the bus,via,traffic,trips,ezpass ,no parent at stops ,being scheduled to trips and school at the same time and now we have to fuel on certain days 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It also is almost impossible to fuel on mandatory days when on a trip run too...gas up Wednesday but you have a trip Thursday and Friday one of which is off Island and you don't have time to gas Monday prior to going your AM because you gotta go across the island for your first pick up.....

I have never understood the principle behind the odd and even fuel days for buses. I've been told it's to help gauge the timing of ordering fuel. I would think if everyone could just get fuel when they need it a pattern would emerge soon enough which woud accomplish the same thing. The last I talked to the shop manager in the Bronx, which admittedly was a few years ago, those buses could fuel whenever. Of course they have about half as many buses but that shouldn't matter.

And don't even get me started about WHEN fuel is dropped!!

I'm sure he called it in...also a possibility he didn't know he hit it either. people also fail to realize how people themselves didn't shovel themselves out the day after the storm and are parking like idiots in the street making it impossible for cars yet alone buses to navigate on side streets

With kids on the bus I'm sure they called it in but this was on Facebook this morning. I left out the actual bus number.

"If you own a white SUV parked on Cleveland Avenue, close to Hylan facing away towards IS24 and you come out to see your car damaged, Pioneer Bus XXX was the bus that did it. I was waiting at the light going in the opposite direction next to it when it happened. I don't know if they stopped or anything like that because they had kids on the bus. I couldn't stay because I had to drop my other kid off at school."

Very odd. Give Dulisse a call.
