  1. Very very random but, does anyone know where I can find photos or even a video of the LIRR concourse at Penn station before the 1993-1994 renovations? I would to see what it look like back in the day!
  2. Is there a LIRR electric substation in Woodbury? where Sunnyside BLVD meets the Sunnyside Extension I always see a LIRR truck working there? anyone know about this?
  3. When i was coming back to work from lunch I saw 2 training buses for the n78 both making lefts on E. Bethpage road at around 12 45.
  4. The one before it is supposed to come at 5 50 i dont know if within that 5 mins a train comes and a lot of people take the N79 then.
  5. Geez I was on the N74 today and it was empty I took the 5 53 from Wantagh LIRR to Hicksville EMPTY 13 passengers including myself for the whole trip. The N79 I went on after had even less with 7 people at 6 45.
  6. there was a big article on newsday.com how could NICE miss that?
  7. Yesterday the 79 80 81 all had detours due to a parade on Broadway and ended next to a fair on East Barclay street. Why wasn't this listed on the website? Plainview road was closed at Park ave and so was Old country road. Northbound side of Broadway was closed with only one lane squeezing by southbound.
  8. nope because its a turnoff for riders who barley ride a bus that comes once an hour that could use more riders.
  9. Every morning I see a 79 on Manetto Hill road with standees there needs to be more service.
  10. I was on the N73 yesterday at 5 15 from hicksville this bus wasn't even half full at any point.
  11. Right now they have it Local limited express if they had it Express Limited then Local it would be the best.
  12. I don't think 22x is that bad the way they Have It 22l From Hicksville is the fastest in my opinion.
  13. 24 is the best 15 mins enough time to make a transfer if you really are trying to catch the 79 take the 73 first because they interline. Today I found out the step up fee is still 75 cents from SCT to N79 which I think is stupid because now SCT is 2 and so it should be 25 cents for NICE.
  14. Old country road in Plainview used to have half hourly bus service midday people don't want to wait so they pay 6 dollars west of 135 7 50 east of 135 and 9 or 10 east of Manetto Hill road. I called the Nice bus and spoke to the supervisor she said she can't hold the bus due to people in Hicksville needing to go to work too. Thats Bs because the 79 used to come later at 59 after.
  15. N79 is rapidly losing ridership I think during midday because people are resorting to cabs instead.
  16. That right turn is hard it would be easier to let them at Central park road and then go from there or even Manetto Drive
  17. My guess is sometime in the 90's because I know for fact when I was a little boy the N16 signs were always the same on Hempstead ave when I used to go over there when I was a little boy.
  18. n79 -- EXPECT ROUTE DELAYS Sunday May 6th, 8:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. n79 buses will be detoured off of Old Country Road and Manetto Hill Road, due to the Woodbury Walk A Thon Walk. Eastbound buses will turn left off of Old Country Road on to Central Park Road. They will then travel and turn right on to Main Parkway. From Main Parkway they will turn left on to Manetto Hill Road and resume their regular route. Westbound busses will turn off of Manetto Hill Road by turning right on to Main Parkway. They will then travel and turn left on to Central Park Road. Buses will travel south on Central Park Road and turn right on to Old Country Road and resume their regular route. Please allow additional travel time to ensure you arrive at your destination on time.
  19. Old country road will be closed this weekend for a bit no mention of that.
  20. I told them its not fair to wait an hour because you have bad drivers they said so what wait an hour!
  21. I got screwed today by the N24 it came to Roosevelt field at 1128 instead of 11 12, I missed the 79 at 11 45 and had an adventure getting a cab. I called they said we cannot hold the 79 its not fair to the people that are in Hicksville that need to go to work.
  22. I missed out on the loaners I wasn't in town for a while so when I got home on December 1st I had no reason to ride the bus daily which limited my chances. What I thought was cool though was a city bus in Suffolk county which I saw a few times on the 79.
  23. No the only ones that have cloth is everything but Nassau. Nassau has never had cloth except last year when we had the loaners.
