Astoria Line

subway -> n4 -> n15 works? that's perfect! In my experience subway -> n6 -> n15 or n72 has worked for me.

It was on the n15 yesterday. I saw it was unwrapped and I was surprised myself.

Bus lanes were easier to implent on those routes, some don't even consider the s79 as an SBS tbh lol.

Adding SBS and bus lanes on Queens Blvd? Ha ! good luck with that.... NIMBYs aren't gonna like losing their parking. There is loads of parking spots on Queens Blvd, even if it is a big stretch of road. Also, the route doesn't even have a LIMITED.... ain't no way its gonna get an SBS

I agree with the notion that B35 & bobtehpanda stated about renaming routes.... there ain't a reason to do it tbh. Now about a Q60 to the West Side... Nah. There is a LOT of traffic in that part of town... its gonna exacerbate the bunching/delays problem that troubles the Q60 today. I, personally think there should be more short turns (I think there are a very small amount that terminate at 33 St station, iirc.) If there are more short turns added, have them terminate at 33rd or Queens Plaza or 46 St or even QCM. I think it may fix the problem.

n15. So the n4 ride will be less than the one you've done. Lets see how it goes.

Well I tried to see if I can get that double transfer yesterday on the n6. I did this : (going to Queens) 10:23 n15 to HTC 10:36 (was an Orion V CNG too #1686) 10:48 n6 to 179 11:32 (#1660) 11:38 train out of 179 and got it. (going home) 7:20 train @ 33 St to 51st St 7:25 7:35 train to Roosevelt Av 7:46 8:00 train to 179 ST 8:25 I run up the stairs and see #1663 on the n6 @ 8:26 got off at Fulton/Terrace and cross the street @ 9:02 Then @ 9:06 the n15 Long Beach bound comes and I get on and the 3way transfer worked as well. #1650 so its confirmed that it works both ways using the n6... now next week i'll test it on the n4.

Thank you! I have the option of taking the n4 as well, no one before had told me about the n4 though. I'll try it with n15 -> n6 -> subway and n15 -> n4 -> subway and update you. I've heard about 2 hour limit too, I don't think its that, I think it may be a glitch.

Is it true that you can get a 3way transfer if you do subway -> N6 -> another NICE bus or vice versa? someone mentioned this to me before but I wasn't sure if it was true and I've never tried it.

That Q33 isn't useless. There are a lot of people who use it along 82nd and 83rd streets... trust me i've actually rode the route.

1.) not everyone has interest in the opposite sex he is only what 13? 2.) I thought he may have some disorder himself. I heard he either has asperger's or autism (I'm 80% sure it is autism) from someone who has met the kid (I'll get a confirmation from my source). I thought he had ADHD myself. 3.) Lack of social intelligence? Difficulty in the ability to make successful friendships, which may lead to his obsession with people.

Well we found his other account in the chat.. he's probably just using that as an alibi to divert possible suspicion

That's what happens when you read maps instead of riding the routes..

You have to be kidding me... The Q27 has a large ridership base because of certain locations, which your Q13 bypasses. I'm gonna say this again, because it seems like you aren't getting it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Nice that you two had a great time. Those breadsticks and Red Lobster's biscuits are like heaven, but they're extremely fattening

Hello Brett! I like how it says "By law, we are required to check ALL checked baggage," then it says... "Some bags were physically opened and inspected."

It wouldn't be any more direct by making it go to Forest Hills.... I know a few people who use the Q67 as well. So what if the Q22 is a local route? It is on the same road. No one is calling for a bus to run on Woodhaven to Far Rock when there is the train as well.. I've ridden the Q39 and the Q67 and they serve two different areas. The area of middle village that the Q67 serves is only served by the Q38 (one route that I'd never wanna push people onto.)

The MTA could do way worse, you seem to forget how big our system is and how hard it is to maintain... The Q38 was a private bus company route before the take over, the MTA didn't make it in a loop btw. Would you rather have hour headways during the day on every route, like other systems do?

Q38 - okay, fine. Q47 - just because a bunch of people board a certain bus in a certain location, doesn't mean they'll board another bus in the same location. Q52 - the purpose of the Q52 is to serve Arverne, you're making it unreliable by going to Woodside. The Q53 is unreliable. Extending the Q52 to Far Rock is FAR MORE redundant than the current Q53 routing to Rockaway Park. Extending the Q52 basically makes it do 50% of the Q22 already... Q67 - if it ain't broke don't fix it..... Q88- a limited is better than extending it all the way to Ridgewood or Middle Village. Have you ever ridden that Q88? Those buses get CRUSHED and during school time, there are a f**kton of kids along the route due to the HS in the area (John Bowne, Francis Lewis, etc..) guess you've never ridden it. which leads me to wonder... do you actually go out and ride these routes for yourself? or do you sit at home and just look at maps?

I really wonder if Q90 actually rides these routes that he's commenting about... - about the 47 to Myrtle idea: it's kind of redundant, the 29 is there already... I actually know quite a few people who do transfer to the 54 from the 47 (myself being ONE OF THEM on occasion). and Q23 lives in the area, he knows it very well. - Q52 to Woodside I think this is redundant too... Having ridden the whole 53 route on numerous occasions, bobtehpanda is correct, the Woodside-QCM segment is the slowest part, loads of traffic and the buses get packed along the segment.. Adding the 52 isn't gonna help the traffic. Must I also say, the whole idea won't work UNLESS the MTA fixes the damn 52/53 schedules... The 52 always shows up a minute behind the 53, and the 53 takes the load... ain't no use of extending the 52 unless you get the schedules done right. Idk what to think about the Far Rock extension tbh... but it is redundant to the 22 which already goes there... - about the Q67 idea Q23 is right, you are depriving an area of no other service from their bus service, that is the LAST thing you wanna do! and again, your routing is redundant. It ends right with the Q23... If you wanna extend it to somewhere, terminate it somewhere no other bus does, unless it is a terminal. - the Q88 idea you ALL are beating this like a dead horse! I already said, if you extend the route, its gonna make it unreliable! and it makes the route unnecessarily LONG. (It reminds me of the N20/N22, those extremely long NICE routes) I do like the idea of a Q88 LTD, but I don't like the idea of extending it... I think if you wanna tinker with the Q38, divide it in two. Make the Eliot portion go somewhere like Ridgewood (you get the idea) and send the Penelope portion to Flushing, and possibly reroute it off some of those narrow streets, that make the Q38 as unreliable as it is! EDIT: With your Q67 routing proposal, if it was ever implimented, the MTA would reroute it to Atlas probably, just like they did with the Q54.

That's a whole new level of being a foamer.

When I rode it to RVC, A LOT of people got off at Central Ave for the n1, RVC (Park Av) with me, and Lynbrook/5 Corners. I don't think the n4x will have as much controversy as the n6x did.

That's the case with any route... increasing the length can decrease its reliability. I don't see why everyone wants to extend it so bad,,, it is fine the way it is.... if it ain't broke don't fix it...

People in Rego Park, go to Flushing, including error, no doubt about that..... but what is the point of making it go to whitestone....

At least he's not our problem anymore
