A sentence towards the end of the History section mentions that an eighth route is currently planned for 2014, citing a rotted link from the official MTA website. As it is now 2015, is there any update on this eighth route so that the sentence can be made relevant or deleted? rellmerr ( talk page • contribs) 17:47, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
It's finally coming! If you click the link on the reference I put, there is a list of stops within the article. I will be busy over the next few days. I will try to add them, but I would like some assistance. Very much appreciated! RES2773 ( talk) 01:35, 27 June 2015 (UTC)RES2773
Any particular reason why {{ color}} was being used to color the stylized title of +selectbusservice? I assume it is an attempt to include a stylized rendition of their logo. However, Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility#Colors and Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Text_formatting#Color are pretty clear that this practice should be avoided in prose text. Especially with the silver, it is more difficult to read. Thanks. Zzyzx11 ( talk) 00:56, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
I see that the route maps here persist in using a black background with light text. I must ask why this is since it's inherently harder to read, especially at thumbnail sizes. This isn't the first time I've seen this; such a map had previously been used for the Staten Island Railway article as well, though that has since been changed. The maps really look awful and difficult to use. To what end does the black exist in the first place, and can we get them recolored, please? oknazevad ( talk) 04:27, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
How has it been seven years and we still have these WP:ACCESS non-compliant maps?!? oknazevad ( talk) 16:01, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
@ Olsen24:, please point me to a reliable source that in any way describes which specific buses are assigned to a route. – Train2104 ( t • c) 11:28, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
I am not talking about the route assignments being undone, i am talking about the numbers of buses on SBS duty. That is important information and should be kept. It should not count as cruft. Olsen24 ( talk) 20:32, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
@ Olsen24: Please discuss, rather than keep reinserting the content. There's no source, it's excessive detail, and it's not important to readers of a general interest encyclopedia. – Train2104 ( t • c) 02:35, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

To avoid disputes over photos and what not, I'm thinking of removing the fleet roster table from this article, since in the template for SBS in general, the fleet of vehicles is listed. Mtattrain ( talk) 21:03, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
Can the Destinations list be made collapsible for moved out of the infobox before it gets too long? SportsFan007 ( talk) 05:09, 21 November 2017 (UTC)SportsFan007
Enough! Mtattrain, Olsen24, if you can't discuss this like adults, not only will you earn yourself blocks, a topic ban from this article is probably an inevitability. Discuss. No more reverts! oknazevad ( talk) 00:16, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
> Olsen24, I understand that you wish to update images, but the quality of the photos you are suggesting is not good. Please refrain from editing the images unless you have reasonable images. Mtattrain ( talk) 00:22, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
>> Olsen24, the purpose of talk pages is to discuss. You don't simply leave explanations when you revert. Also, I am refraining from using your personal talk page so other users besides me can pitch in more easily.
None of the templates are working properly on the page for some reason. Can anybody fix it? SportsFan007 ( talk) 21:14, 31 May 2018 (UTC)SportsFan007
@ WhatamIdoing, Epicgenius, SportsFan007, and Kew Gardens 613: Since TemplateStyles has been enabled (about 15 minutes ago), I've updated {{ Routemap}} with CSS classes so that if all of the diagram template are added back everything should display properly now. Jc86035 ( talk) 11:31, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
I propose removing the roster table of buses used in SBS on the Select Bus Service page, because the table seems to have been moved to the MTA Regional Bus Operations bus fleet page, and because the Select Bus Service page is quite long as it is already. Please let me know what you guys think. Mtattrain ( talk) 16:18, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
@ Epicgenius: Templates are broken since there are too many on the page. Kew Gardens 613 ( talk) 14:44, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
