  1. http://www.newsday.com/long-island/transportation/nice-bus-to-give-free-metrocards-to-low-income-residents-1.13082312 Just came across this. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk There have been plans to expand the system further into Queens. A lot of opposition from communities and, of course, money have not permitted this to come to fruition. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
  2. It doesn't help that they opened the Commons there. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
  3. Seems like we were on the same bus... I took it from RVC around 6:25-6:30ish Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
  4. There's still a handful of them, I just stepped off 1697. It had a really bad screeching noise. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
  5. I think it's Merrick Road/Park Av in RVC. To avoid having to cross Sunrise Hwy. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk N43: -6:55 AM from Freeport to RF should be scheduled to leave at 7:00 AM to allow time for passengers on the N4 which arrives at 6:55 AM at Freeport. -There should be 3-4 N43 Limited runs in the morning from 7AM to 9AM towards NCC and 4 to 5 in the PM from 3-5PM towards Freeport making Local stops between Roosevelt Field and NCC then stops at -Hempstead Turnpike -Front Street -Jerusalem Ave -Pennywood Ave -Freeport LIRR These runs will leave Freeport 7-10 minutes before the local. From NCC to Freeport can take up to 45 minutes alone. It's an idea worth trying. There's a lack of Limited-Stop service on the North South routes. Elmont Flexi: Reduce to hourly. FCS: Eliminate Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
  6. Also, the DSS stop is also another choke point on the route. The midday 6X trips tend to pick up a lot of riders. I rode the 12:40 trip to NCC, it was standing room only. I'd have the 6X start going to Jamaica every 40 minutes as opposed to terminating at Hempstead. Also, to mitigate the crowding on the n6 during the midday. Those n24 trips to East Meadow should be routed to serve the college instead. A one seat ride from Mineola to NCC.
  7. Yup, the 35 is usually arrives a few seconds behind the 6X at Hempstead. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
  8. I still don't understand why the N19 is on the list. Sometimes I'm there to see the 8:30AM from Freeport and almost every seat is taken by the time it leaves. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
  9. The orange especially looks disgusting when it fades away like many of the 1700s already have. Hopefully the blue diminishes that. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
  10. Yes, I thought the order went 1937-1969, I guess not. I had 1964 on the n6x a few weeks ago. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
  11. The XN60 is at Mitchel Field. Just saw from the n6x. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
  12. Where was this? It was probably #1700-59. Those are the most deplorable of the entire fleet.
  13. Remind me, what is that strobe light for? The light on the top of the bus. Emergencies? Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
  14. 1965 is an XN40 smh... Looks like an able ride vehicle just stretched out. It looks nice. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
  15. Yeah the n43 is used more because it's more frequent too. The 45 is like every hour. If they do cut the 35, they should have some runs on the 15 run up Clinton. The n6x and n16 is as crowded as it gets during the AM. The 6x pulls into to HTC from Jamaica to let off the crowds just to get crowded again to go to NCC. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
  16. Sometimes the runs go missing. Like yesterday, I tried taking the n6x to NHP Rd. To get the Lynbrook n25. The n25 showed up 20 minutes late. The other day, there were three n4s missing. The drivers never bother waiting for a late connection. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
  17. I've never understood why they don't make those East Meadow n24s stop on the campus. I feel it'd be put to better use. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
  18. I meant the 6x trips. The rest is blasphemous. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
  19. I can sympathize with them on that one. n6x isn't really utilized during off peak hours. I'd keep the 1:00 1:20 1:40 westbound trips. They fill up a bit. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
  20. Has anyone else noticed that 1885 and 1886 run the n4/4X sometimes the n25 on the weekdays? So they belong to RVC now? Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
  21. I agree, in the morning they should run the 4 more frequently in the EB direction.
  22. From the pics that I've seen on IG, the XN40 has a capacity of 39 seats and 35 standees. The trade off is 4-5 less seats than the Vs and VIIs.
  23. The n20 as a route is fine as is, however as many before said, xfers need to improve. I could totally see someone waiting 1-2 hrs for an xfer from the 20 to the 27. But as said by many NICE fails on so many levels.
