So which of the three options are faster??
-->

I'll predict my trip home tonight, tomorrow and for the following week after...
Express Bus: BxM1 or BxM2 -> home.
Express Bus: BxM1 or BxM2 -> home.
Express Bus: BxM1, BxM2 or BxM18
MetroNorth -> Hudson Rail Link -> home.
Well you get the idea...
As to which one is faster, that's a toss up...
My options...
--> B38
B54
Yeah... essentially one seat rides.

1. Yeah well they're an eyesore for the community as well. If they're only using one bus, get a hybrid for crying out loud.
2. LMAO... Please let someone from UP read this and make this kid's dream come true...
1. There's a reason they used retired buses. What's the point of taking a good hybrid out of service for the sake of a MetroCard bus that doesn't even run every day?
2. LOL... I like 9444 from GA but I don't run around wishing for it to show up...

Whats that 2nd one supposed to mean?
Don't you just want to see my witty response trying to justify why that statement wasn't hypocritical?
I'm going to give my honest opinion, the 3G's are weak buses.
There.

There SMSing the R68A?s f**k... I liked them sounding like R44s.
I was on one a couple weeks back that had a serious howling motor, so not all of them have gotten SMS yet if that makes you feel better.

Words cannot explain how amazing 7057 sounds holy shyt! That is the best sounding 3G in this city...you must hear how it sounds on the outside..then once you get on it on the inside you will go crazy.
1. It's a bus.
2. It's a 3G for god's sake, it can't be that good...

Might as well leave this here...
This is an extension of the
to Arlington, via a new tunnel between 62nd Street and St. George.0 -
Let's keep our hands to ourselves....
I agree w/the anti S78 LTD stuff... with the S79 already running SBS (*coughLTDcough*) down Hylan, why is it necessary to do the same with the S78? The S78 is needed for local service along Hylan, why mess with that...

This is primarily an LIRR thought, but why does :"new" rail look dirty? I know that passing trains are supposed to "polish" the rails.
Just a thought, it may be to provide traction for the trains?

They all had their problems & they were lemons 2
Every fleet has its problems... what's your point here?

The B103 and BM2 has completely different ridership bases, so the fact that the routes is a duplicate means nothing, you can't put them together.
Stop trying to use these non-existent argument to fuel your foam.

I propose an extension of the J/Z lines from it's current terminal in Jamaica Parsons/Archer to Queens Village. It will make stops at these locations:
Merrick Blvd-168 Street, 179th Street, Woodhull-Hollis Avenues, Francis Lewis Blvd, Hempstead Avenue, and Springfield Blvd.
I agree with this, but I have a couple questions:
Would it continue along Jamaica Avenue?
Would skip-stop service continue to Springfield Blvd?
0 -
The Q103 won't get any more ridership the way it is. It serves nothing of intrest, completely avoids Court Square, and has a host of other problems. This is why I suggested combining it with the Williamsburg-LIC route, and maybe extend it around Ditmars Blvd so there is a reliable connection between two neighborhoods that need a reliable connection.

My two cents, if you're going to give the BM1-3 sunday service, you need to do all of them. All three have around the same weekend ridership, so it's not like one is so much stronger than the other. QJ can't be getting his data from the actual statistics or he'd know this for a fact...

May I have A BX46 bus sign Prospect Avenue /Westchester Avenue via Longwood Avenue, Tiffany Street
*facepalm*
I'm still making signs, it's just the progress that is slow. You can request anything but bus/animated train signs now..

My idea for such a Astoria/Elmhurst-Williamsburg route:

Only if that one seat ride is fast enough and has compareable travel time. I see you are giving Q103 a secondary purpose and duplication argument can't be used since B32 serves the waterfront that is your stance correct?
I guess you could say that.

Did what I say fly completely over your head? The
is so frequent that most of the time there are zero waits at all the transfers are less than 1 min apart and the wait is non existent most times there are no waits. Q19 however will not get so long and connects vernon blvd to upper manhattan via M60 connection at astoria. Plus B62 is a very short walk from queensboro one can say extend this B32 or 62 to link with the 
. But then again with the waits for buses being stupid long even 3 subway lines can be faster which is sad but true. They are growing BUT are they willing to change their travel that is the question.Let's not get riled up over nothing here...
Like checkmate said, it's still a transfer. And, the
is NOT that frequent, and the transfer between it and the is a long passageway. People would flock to having a one-seat ride, so there definitely is demand.0 -
what about extending the 2 and the 5 to kings plaza? and wasn't there something proposed like that a while back?
While I'd agree with a
extension, it would be better suited heading down Nostrand.0 -
Do you remember if it was a higher 2xxx? (Specifically 2500's-2700's)
It could have been a
, especially since it was an R68 and not an R68A, and they hurried it into service and didn't change the rollsigns.0 -
I'll be getting to yours soon, Threxx. Meanwhile, I created a fantasy idea borrowing one of your fantasy routes that you requested me to map out from another thread last year: the Q51 from Forest Hills to Broadway Junction.
Unlike the MTA, current NICE routes use a lowercase letter to indicate the county (or company, for NICE is lowercase). Here, I decided to use the format of the typical NICE routes, using separate keyframes for each piece of information.
That is pretty NICE! (half intended) That 'q' is a bit sketchy though. It probably wouldn't fly with normal NY'ers.

Bronx Division Bus Proposals/Ideas
in New York City Bus
Posted
Bx1/2: Don't mess with something that isn't broken. Why do people need to use the
? Enough with shoving people onto subways...
Bx5: I don't see how that short segment is so redundant...
Bx7/A: Like Q23 said, the MTA is trying to eliminate extra letter designations, so you might as well leave the Bx20 as it is.
Again, this whole Bx19/New Bx20/Bx22 restructuring... it's just unnecessary.
Bx41: I can see this one, since it will be SBS it would provide a good connection through the central Bronx.
Bx46: Let's wait and see with this one, the route was just created.
