  1. Make a route from Whitestone to Rego Park????????? lolowut
  2. W Hempstead is okay, it is safe and quiet (I don't hear gunshots and police sirens every night, so I mean that's a plus) and that n15 is a reliable line, I haven't had any headaches with it. I'm kind of shy to go outside and explore and make friends though, so I've been going back to Queens to hang out. (Thank god I'm still going to school in Queens!) Thanks for asking! lol That matriarchal shit reminds me of my English teacher from this year, she's a single middle aged woman who doesn't trust men (she said out loud) and she had a "feminist" demeanor.. she's pretty self sufficient and said herself that she doesn't need anyone. With the women raising men weak analogy, that's typical. Projection of insecurities and desires onto their sons.... trying to raise them THEIR way instead of the right way. pfft but poor parenting is a whole 'nother story LOL "too many 80's babies are out here poppin out babies like skittles. ^ nice analogy LOL IN a nutshell, people don't know how to act, and it is all a hot ass mess.. lol one that I will try not to get involved with myself when the time comes.
  3. First of all, congrats on your promotion ! Second, I'm not surprised with the patriarchal eradication tbh... many women that I see consider themselves above men. Problem with this new generation coming up, many of the guys (especially the ones my age) don't got their priorities straight (they don't care about their schooling or anything, just stupid stuff like sneakers or smashing girls)... (I'm not gonna comment on the effeminate nature of guys because I don't see it often but many people consider me effeminate unfortunately) and they're gonna end up like those low-achieving types that you mentioned... I wasn't raised in a 2 parent household either, and didn't grow up with any males, but I know at least I won't end up like that..! You basically described at least 1/2 the guys in my generation though in truthful, honest points tho... You ain't the only one worried about this generation...
  4. LTD service won't fix anything if there is traffic. The main traffic is that part of Main and Kissena but that is a small number of stops. If there is traffic and the bus isn't moving, you're not gonna lose time by stopping in a stop anyways.... I think other than the bunching, the Q25 is a fine route (I prefer the Q65 though)... "If it ain't broke don't fix it."
  5. Why extend it to Bay Terrace if the Q28 goes there from Flushing.... I don't think the demand is there... Those 25s bunch like crazy too...
  6. "NICE BS try again".... wtf is that supposed to mean? Never quoted you or mentioned anything about you either "Mr. transitmaster" me and bobtehpanda were talking about Q90..
  7. He's probably never even been to Main Street pfft. I think he suggests routes to go places, but he's actually never been to them and just looks at maps instead, and you know how that goes Main has enough room for buses, the problem is not room itself, its the friggin traffic...
  8. I saw one at Roosevelt Field today... compared to the other buses it was pretty empty.. even for the first stop. I was speaking to some passengers on the n6x the other day about the service changes. They all are upset about the Westminster Road stop being removed. A lot of them didn't know about the changes either, they said that NICE doesn't try to get community input. Seems many people get off at Westminster to walk to the n15/n31/n32 to avoid Hempstead altogether, including quite a few people from my neighborhood. Some suggested removing the Elmont Rd stop instead.
  9. I did kind of an experiment yesterday and today... I took the N4 and N6x leaving Jamaica around the same time... (N6x from 165-HTC) and (N4 from Parsons-Archer to RVC Park Ave/Merrick Rd)... I took the 6:50pm N4 and the 6:38pm N6x. Got to HTC at 7:24 and got to RVC at 7:25 (both operators were moving VERY NICEly too) It is interesting that the N4 is faster even though the N6x is an "express". I can't wait for the N4x. I wanna see how much time I saved! Rode Orion V CNGs on both too (1626 on N4 and 1660 on N6)
  10. What's your obsession with making current routes extra long and unnecessary?
  11. I've officially moved in my new Long Island house.. It is a nice house that needs some work. There is an attic that I'm gonna work on, it is huge! and I'm gonna make it my new room. It is way safer out here than it was in Springfield Gardens. It is nice and quiet here and I don't see undesirables walking around at all hours. I don't hear police and sirens every night either! Transportation wise, it is actually BETTER here. Yes, W Hempstead branch is weekdays only, but I never ride LIRR anyways. (I think it is too much $$$, I'd rather buy a weekly/monthly unlimited and ride NICE Bus). That n15 blows the POS Q85 out of the water. In the three days that I've been using the n15, it has been more reliable (no missing runs) and it doesn't get crushed as bad either, and the ride ain't too bad. Equipment is good (I consider NICE's NGs and 3Gs superior to MTAs.). All is well now and I'm happy Although this will be temporary if I end up going to Stony Brook for college next year. I can't believe I'm a senior in HS now either! (I'm still attending school in NYC). Hope everyone is doing well!
  12. That n4x was WAY overdue, NICE to see it finally happen though
  13. I went to the house today, and I observed the n32 and the n15... the n32 was late for the most part but the n15 was pretty reliable, showing up on time. The n15 was even crushed on two of the runs (Roosevelt Field bound around 7pm), so I'm sure that's the one I'll be taking. Thanks for the answers guys!
  14. I'm not taking NICE to school everyday, but I will be using it a lot this summer. I'll be taking the bus (which ever of the three) to the Transit Center so I'll be at the first stop. Thanks!
  15. Well I just found out that my house is actually in West Hempstead and is smack in between the N15 and the N31/32. Anyone have any experience on these three routes (headways, ride)? And would it be quicker getting to Jamaica by going up to Hempstead for the N6/N6x or going to Rockville Ctr (via N15) or Lynbrook (via N31/32) for the N4?
  16. Wait until he finds out how hard it is to own a bus......
  17. That B32 is gonna have 30 minute headways actually... I don't see it being successful. but who knows?
  18. The difference between your route and those other routes, is your route mirrors a whole bunch of other routes and the routing is rather unreliable imo
  19. Don't push anyone onto that Q19. That route stops running at 7pm.... and doesn't go anywhere with major traffic except for Flushing.. and as Q23 says, there are many successful routes that are more than 10 miles.... extending the Q19 down to 27th ave, you're basically connecting a bunch of low ridership/go nowhere routes lol
  20. Extending the Q19 to the Bronx or Manhattan is too lengthy but your Q90 isn't?
  21. The Q103 doesn't hit all the major areas of LIC... The Q103 doesn't go to Court Sq or Queens Plaza (two major destinations....) it only goes to Vernon-Jackson and Queensbridge.. If you can re-route it to serve ALL of those major destinations, it MAY benefit and see an increase of ridership... BUT then again.. Don't fix something if it ain't broke... May I also mention, Vernon Blvd ain't a major thoroughfare (only Costcos and the projects are there.... it is the industrial-like area of Astoria) and the Q103 terminates by those PJs at 27th Av... it doesn't go to any major parts of Astoria either....
  22. Fanning NICE soon.. can't wait!

  23. wait what.. we might as well send the Q38 to the bronx or something too...
  24. You wouldn't make it go on College Point Blvd, because it "duplicates" the Q58, but running it on Main St sort of "duplicates" the Q20 A/B/Q44
