I think all Weekend n20 buses should become n21 trips to Allieviate the off peak problems on the N20/21 corridor

UPDATE: I'm putting a new gallery featuring pictures of buses I shot. Here's the link:http://transitjeopar...te-gallery-pics .To be fully complete, it might take several months,as I have a lot of photos and I am trying to get them all into the gallery (over 1,000). Be patient, enjoy what I have, and come back each day to see more pictures

To help me restore the S67, sign here. The route would be restructured to benefit more people, and you could be one of them. Let's make this sign a reality. Posted Image

Rode 1564 today on the n78. First bus since April 8 that I've seen with the Clever Devices on. The door announcement is "n78 Hicksville" and it is very obvious that it was the LI Bus announcement simply cut short. The sign was a couple miles wrong, announcing Hicksville LIRR at South Oyster Bay Rd.

Yeah, NICE has been experimenting with the Clever Devices since April 8th. I know, when I rode the N55 the first or second weekday after April 8th, the door announcements had been changed to "N55 Amityville."

It's kind of rediculous the (MTA) could afford N14 service EVERY 10 MINUTES but couldnt afford the N53. Cut some service on the N14, will ya...

I hate using the back doors on the Orion Vs... I'm used to pressing the tape. Sometimes the doors open immediately, otherwise I have to just push the door itself open and I hate it when it slams... if the tape does respond, the B/O can just pump the brakes to get past the interlock. Was LIB's maintenance so bad that the tape just stopped working? Come on now... even the diesel Orion Vs from 1996 are running in NYC no problem. Rode the Q32 and used the back doors to get out and I didn't even push the tape before the rear doors opened.

Those are the buses that the (MTA) chose to get for LIB given the funds available from the county and state. Orion has a good record with CNG cleanliness emissions and good mileage, so I guess that's why they chose Orion. The specific V and VII models were just chosen given the time they were purchased and what Orion was manufacturing at the time!

I'd love to experience the Orion VIIs on LIRR shuttles on Sunrise or on the Meadowbrooko on the N88. I'd say the same for the Orion Vs but more and more of those things are sounding sick or worn out so I'm having doubts about their roadworthiness.
