N53, N93 was small bus and same fixed route fare of $2.25.
I remember one time N93 was using Orion V CNG and I still never forgotten the incident I had with 12:30 N93 Nassau Hub Shuttle refuse to pick me up.

How does this relate to the topic? What you stated was already inferred.

The N93 used regular sized buses.

Yes, I'm shocked by how many paratransit vehicles I see driving around Plainview. Surprisingly, I didn't notice much of a decrease after the 2010 3/4 mile rule.

No, the N93 Hub Loop would be more reasonable.

Why? You have a lot buses going in and out of the Nassau hub area in all different directions daily and for one thing, the Source Mall isnt even open anymore.

Thank you for riding Long Island Bus. Major Transfer Point.

You have the N43 and the N24 in that area, all of which would run more often and carry more people than the N93 ever would. A loop just isnt needed because you have the Major Transfer Point in the middle of the Nassau Hub at Roosevelt Field.

Well, I'd say the n24 is the only route that mirrors most of my Nassau Hub Plan, the n22 and n35 could count, kinda. Still details are being worked on [when the Roosevelt Field Plans are drawn clean, I'll release my plan].

I can't believe I said that. LOL, I meant it's going downhill and hardly anyone visits anymore with Fortunoff and Circuit City gone.
