FamousNYLover Posted October 24, 2016 Share #226 Posted October 24, 2016 If both Q52/Q53 becomes SBS, will shared bus stops will be like: SB Ticket ROC (Rockaways) or NB Ticket (QCM) and seperate SBS bus stops will be Q52; Q53? Since M60 SBS/Q70 SBS Ticket is LG00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted October 25, 2016 Share #227 Posted October 25, 2016 I'm thinking it'll be more like LIBRU & posting flyers in the elevator leading up to the overpass, and on the glass along the overpass itself @ Mineola station.... Not to mention on the windshields of parked cars there too... Those All Island taxi cab drivers should have caught you & your legion of misfits pulling that crap.... Seriously, can somebody translate what on earth this guy is trying to say with that last post.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, can somebody translate what on earth this guy is trying to say with that last post.... LOL. I believe he's asking if the Q52 and Q53 SBS will have separate stops, because of how the machine can be configured (which is why the M16 was relabeled to the M34A, because the way things are set up, the machine can only fit a certain amount of characters where the route number goes). Although, if the M60 and Q70 are indeed sharing a stop, then there's no need to separate the Q52 and Q53 with individual machines in the first place. I don't know if "Q5253" could work, so I doubt they might even have to change anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted October 25, 2016 Share #229 Posted October 25, 2016 LOL.

I don't know if "Q5253" could work, so I doubt they might even have to change anything. Or they may just turn the 52 in the 53A or something like that so it'll be easier on the machines and count it internally as 1 route. For the M34/A, all the tickets say M34...even at M34A only stops. For the M60/Q70 in the airport, the tickets say LG00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted October 25, 2016 Share #230 Posted October 25, 2016 That's what I believe they want to eventually do with the Q52 anyway (have it be some sort of Q53 variant), regardless of SBS... I suppose SBS gives them the further ooomph (further push, further justification) to go on with it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTA Bus Posted October 25, 2016 Share #231 Posted October 25, 2016 https://twitter.com/AlexBlenkinsopp/status/786626512636313600?s=04 looks like their expanding the median for the bus stop after the community board voted it down. Can't they sue? I passed by there today and I was wondering what they were doing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerBear Posted December 12, 2016 Share #234 Posted December 12, 2016 Hey BrooklynBus, have you read Street Fight by Janette Sadik-Khan? I skimmed it, and I plan on reading it. She gets into details about the fights over the PPW bike lane and the Times Square renovation, and... Select Bus Service! I would be interested to see your review of the book.

BrooklynBus Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share #235 Posted December 12, 2016 Hey BrooklynBus, have you read Street Fight by Janette Sadik-Khan? I skimmed it, and I plan on reading it. She gets into details about the fights over the PPW bike lane and the Times Square renovation, and... Select Bus Service! I would be interested to see your review of the book.Knowing the harm Sadik-Khan did to NYC's traffic, I highly doubt her book is at all objective but just provides her rationalization through slanted data for her policies. She is the one who instituted a bike lane on Oriental Blvd in 2003 that is barely utilized without even informing the community who has opposed it ever since. The reason for the bike lane wasn't even to help cyclists. It was to slow down traffic by removing a lane of traffic. And it's not that the community is against bike lanes. They have proposed it be moved to a safer location one block away where cyclists would not have to deal with auto and bus traffic. The current commissioner has been reviewing their suggestion now for three years without any definite response. Since it hook them ten years to study the intersection of Guider and Coney Island Avenue before making changes, we might have to wait another ten years fir them to move it. There are 45,000 fewer cars in Manhattan today, than there were in 2010, but traffic today is much worse due to Sadik- Khan's and Trottenberg's anti car policies.
