  1. Logged in here on a whim.... It's really nice to be back! Quick life update: I've moved my talents down to Philadelphia, PA but still very much checking out the state of transit affairs in NYC. How's everyone??
  2. I haven't been on here in AGES.

  3. It's been so long since I've logged on here.. I made three years here last month tho How is everyone?
  4. When it comes to art related things (film, photography, drawing, etc). I'd never suggest a college degree (unless it was graphic design), simply because one isn't required for the field. Work on building a portfolio, and improve your skills to the best of your ability, seek out internships and make connections. Honestly, I'm in college because my field (medical) requires college education (I want at least to be an M.D.), and because I am getting internships and experiences along the way (and my undergrad is paid for by grants, too).
  5. I've moved out of Nassau, and I don't miss NICE a bit! Congrats on passing!
  6. Its been the first time in months since I've logged in here...
  7. I have not been on here in ages Finally left nASSau county. Why people find suburbia appealing is beyond me...
  8. One last final today (Anatomy & Phys.) then I will never have to wear this ugly uniform anymore or take anymore HS tests. Thank you lord, finally!!
  9. ...still on spring break. Boy this felt like the longest non-summer break I've ever had!
  10. Damn I haven't been to Hempstead Transit Center since December. My n6s/n15s always connect on Fulton or Westminster instead of HTC anyway, so why bother?
  11. Same as me. I don't see derliects when I ride the bus, and I ride the N6/X which is apparently "the most dangerous route in the country" according to some
  12. I don't have to deal with the thankfully, i take the from Jamaica, so I get a 1-seat ride to Lex-63rd then I walk.
  13. That point in bold hits the nail on the head. I have no problem with him making an opinion or whatever, that's fine, but don't sound ignorant either. He holds the stigmatized views of public transit for Nassau County but uses the buses himself, which sounds kind of hypocritical.
  14. I guess you're right, got rejected anyway. Hunter College Class of 2018 I guess
  15. Do you realize how you sound sometimes? You come off pretty closeminded and prejudiced. If only "poor people" ride NICE, then why do you ride NICE? I'm not poor, but I ride NICE because LIRR gives me shitty service and a car isn't feasible, especially going to college in Manhattan as of August. Anyways.. I think Setzer is correct about the farebox issues. I had a ton of read errors back at the end of 2013, but I haven't got one in a long while, and I've been re-using the metrocards. You are correct in trying to displace the blame of the county for the most part. I think Mangano doesn't give two s**** about the system, as well as the people who live here. It is typical suburban ignorance, which is why after less than a year in Nassau, amongst other things, I'm moving out within the next year. I'd rather put up with the MTA and its problems only than this sorry excuse for a system. I don't think anything will be done to make this system better without Mangano's help and as you can see, he doesn't care.
  16. I don't feel unsafe, considering the times I ride the bus. I'm getting off of this sinking ship of an island soon enough anyways.
  17. Another NICE operator got assaulted Yesterday. In Franklin Square, AGAIN. smh. This is why I ride NICE early in the morning and late at night when all the unstable people are still unconscious
  18. + Horace Harding/Main, i see it this way too... Pretty much. It is not a long distance though, I don't think it will affect everything THAT much This thread was open almost TWO years ago and is still going strong. Heck I remember when it was first made! (I knew B35 does too) lol
  19. Yesterday was so beautiful outside, the warm day was really needed. After this week, hopefully spring will be here to stay! Looks like I may be going the CUNY route, all 6 that I applied to (CSI, Brooklyn, Queens, City, Hunter and Baruch) accepted me. Damn Stony Brook is taking 23184021985 years after I sent them my tax papers on February 20th. Its March 23rd ffs...
  20. Well my usual N6X has been less crowded lately... (I actually get a seat at Terrace since my 15 doesn't connect with it time-wise at HTC anymore....) Pretty much every NICE route I've seen has been WAY less crowded lately (Ridership being lost is no exaggeration to me....) On the N6 going home yesterday, near Franklin Ave (HTC-bound), a guy got on the bus, didn't pay his fare and told the driver to take off. Everyone has been taking their frustrations on the operators. No one is as friendly with them as they used to be. Says a lot about the satisfaction. I have no complaints about the 6/15/31/32 for the most part, but my god that N4 always comes to Jamaica 6-10 minutes late (which is why I NEVER take it anymore)
  21. The struggle of waiting for college acceptances... its actually pretty infuriating...
  22. That n6x runs a lot smoother in the morning. NICE made the headways 7-8 minutes instead of 10-13. I thank them for that, they at least improved SOME service. The buses have more room and are less packed. The trip is smoother and surprisingly shorter as well. I haven't tried it during the PM yet but the good service compared to the n4x's dismal 15 minute headways.
  23. Well I was mainly talking about going to HTC in the morning from Long Beach but yeah I noticed that too.
  24. Lately every n6/n6x i've been taking hasn't been too crowded as usual lately... hmm wonder why? lol I catch the 6:08am n6x out of HTC and every other bus that goes to HTC other than the n15 has been showing up late the past week (that's rather interesting too). I feel bad for all those other people (which is why I love the n15, its always early or on time)
