The SIM2 is having problems. The 6:00 PM to Downtown left at 6:20 PM. Props to the B.O. for hauling ass wherever possible though. The 6:30 PM looked like a no-show, but eventually showed up. IDK what happened to the 7:00 PM bus, but it wasn't on at 7:10 PM. I think I have a screenshot of this.

It's not so bad right now because there's less traffic than normal. Once the school year starts, and people come back from vacation, we'll see how bad it can really get.

Especially Brooklyn. The downward spiral in express bus service is sickening. To think that 10 years ago, the MTA was enhancing the spans of the buses out there. All you Brooklynites really need to raise hell and be prepared when time comes for your express bus redesign, because the MTA will try to pull some cards at the eleventh hour (like they did to the south shore with evening service).

The B83, BM2, and BM5 only use Pennsylvania Avenue for like a few minutes, give me a break.

I was there around 4:40-4:45, but the line was not so large. I'm guessing a pair of buses arrived before I arrived. However, in 15-20 minutes, even with all the buses arriving, the line just started growing, rather fast.

The line at 42 Street & 6 Avenue reached the corner of 6th. This was just before 5 PM. I can only imagine how it went from there. It was also a problem because buses showed up in twos in many cases, and in some cases with an M42. When the latter happened, The first express bus could not pull out of the bus stop, so the second stop was slightly sticking out onto 6th. The winner was when an M42, with SIM26 waiting to pull out, and a SIM23, some NJ jitneys, and two SIM30s all waiting to pull in or just cross 42nd. The SIM23 and SIM24 should have been left on 34th. There's too much congestion now.

I only saw a couple. They had a handful of people.

Those date back to before I started taking pictures.

Gotta wrap the buses in Amazon colors too. Cuomo doesn't stand a chance.
