Hi,
Does anybody know if I can get free rides on Nassau County Buses (NICE) by showing NYCT Pass?? I was able to do that when MTA ran LI Bus. But i don't know if the NICE B/O's will let us go for free...(At least to queens to take the subway) Anybody has any info....??
Thanks..
Can I still use my NYCT Pass/ID to get free ride on NICE?

Some of the former LIB B/O's might but just to be safe bring a normal PPR.

I remember during my ride on N4 and N40, 
Employees from NYCT/MTA Bus/LIRR/MNRR are not cross honor on NICE buses.

I agree. I've seen some drivers accept it, but yea, just in case, bring a metrocard.Some of the former LIB B/O's might but just to be safe bring a normal PPR.
Thank you for riding Long Island Bus. Major Transfer Point.

Well i'm just saying.
After all, this is potentially reducing the job market.
I mean seriously, why?
(Just another reason we shouldv'e kept LIB...)

Generally companies dont let other companies employees ride for free. I'm not suprised NICE doesn't allow MTA employees to ride for free, I dont think Bee-Line or NJT would either. Even when it was LIB, technically they were viewed as seperate entities. At Suffolk Transit I dont think employees from one company can ride on another companies buses for free.
I dont even think the LIRR lets NYC Transit employees ride for free, though as always it depends, some conductors will be OK with it.

Please, every agency of the

The thing is, Bee-Line and 
are much more closer than and Veolia, so that's why people will have problems riding on NICE Bus.
