BM5 via Woodhaven Posted January 13, 2012 Share #1 Posted January 13, 2012 Similar to the NYCS Riddles Thread, this is about NYC buses. Remember: •One Riddle to be solved at a time •One guess per member at a time •Members have 24 hours to respond •After 24 hours, another riddle will be posted •After a person gets the answer, they go, and so on I'll start first: I start from the top of the Bronx, down to somewhere else (in the Bronx). Branches are not my type, and do not pass NYC boundaries. Who am I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

checkmatechamp13 Posted January 13, 2012 Share #8 Posted January 13, 2012 I'll start first: I start from the top of the Bronx, down to somewhere else (in the Bronx). Branches are not my type, and do not pass NYC boundaries. Who am I? Bx10? (There are a few routes that would fit your description) The Bx39 doesn't reach any Bronx-Westchester boundary, so nope You didn't say it had to, though. You just said that it starts at "the top of The Bronx". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just said that it starts at "the top of The Bronx". Correct. Pass to B35 or go I'll be more specific next time This could be the Bx9 or the 10.....

checkmatechamp13 Posted January 14, 2012 Share #14 Posted January 14, 2012 Correct. Pass to B35 or goI'll be more specific next time I can't think of a really good one, but here goes.... Spending much of my time on hills, my terminal is right outside a hospital. My purpose is more of a coverage purpose, so my ridership is relatively low and my headways are high.

checkmatechamp13 Posted January 14, 2012 Share #16 Posted January 14, 2012 Q43 or B8 The Q43 doesn't terminate by a hospital on either end. The B8 is a good guess (though I don't think it spends much time on hills), because both of its terminals are by hospitals. But just to clarify, only one terminal is by a hospital. I revised my riddle to include a little information about the routing and ridership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

checkmatechamp13 Posted January 14, 2012 Share #18 Posted January 14, 2012 The S52? Yes (it makes sense an SIer would pick an SI route). Go or pass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S78 via Hylan Posted January 14, 2012 Share #19 Posted January 14, 2012 I'll go this time. Here's an easy one: My route is very long in Brooklyn. My ridership is one of the highest borough wide. I serve the Brooklyn College Flatbush and Orion 3Gs are part of my fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q101 E Midtown Posted January 14, 2012 Share #22 Posted January 14, 2012 I am an Express route. Like most of my kind, I have multiple routings in Manhattan, and in my outer borough section, some peak direction trips are extended to serve an area served by another express bus that serves a different borough. Who am I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious2train Posted January 14, 2012 Share #23 Posted January 14, 2012 The BM2. Has three different routes in Manhattan, Downtown + Midtown outside of Rush Hour, and the Downtown branch and the Midtown Super Express both during Rush Hour. Some Downtown branch trips in Rush Hour are extended to Spring Creek towers, to supplement the BM5, which runs in Queens and only serves Midtown.
