  1. I actually saw two (4) s to New Lots when I was walking my dog an hour ago, I usually catch them on weekdays with a (2) via the (3) during rush hours.

    It wouldn't work as Union Tpke suggested, (4) s and (5) s would get clogged up on their way to Brooklyn and the Lex would be a nightmare.

    Mind you it just may work if everything is moved around to the point where nothing resembles its past self.

     

    And listen to QJ and eliminate the (3). Yeah, wait, no... yeah, yeah.

  2. True or False: Bus fanners often spend more than subway fanners.

    If paying per ride than yes. When you have an unlimited no need to worry about that shit.

     

    Now arguably some may not be able to shell out for one all at once, but with the amount of single rides these guys use with fanning I'd say it's relatively simple for most to save up for at least a 7-day.

  3. I can't believe I forgot to post this, but last time I was at Hempstead Transit Center, some woman tried to convert me to Christianity and sat with me for 20 minutes while I waited for the bus and gave me a speech on why what I was learning in college as a Biology major was incorrect and the fake theory of evolution. She gave me pamphlets as well. I threw them out.

    And you entertained her (or vice versa)? I would have gotten up and left, and ripped the pamphlets in her face to boot.

  4. Anyway speaking of news it seems New York Republican Congressman Michael Grimm totally lost it in a rant after President Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday night. Looking at this video a couple of times it really looked like he was about to KO the reporter. Wow, good job GOP.  :rolleyes:

     

     

    Congress and the rest of the house have always full of incompetent motherf**kers how do little more than act like inconsiderate a**holes. This just further demonstrates the fact.

     

    Also, inaudible part was "don't tell me what the f**k to say".

  5. lol... Please... They're not paying an extra $3.50 for the BM2... Local bus riders are local bus riders and express bus riders are express bus riders.  The only way they would change is if they didn't know about the BM2 before for some odd reason.

    Only you'd act as pretentious as this on the matter. As if $3.50 were these peoples life savings...

  6. What is the standard procedure for the RTS when the front doesn't come up? For example, just moments ago my B3 started to just drop off passengers and not pick up anymore passengers at Ocean Ave. The B/O did state that they would make all stops, just not picking up anymore passengers.  There was another MTA official as well but I didn't see any tags or anything.  Is that correct procedure or something of a spur?

     

    Also I laugh at people who double-park at a bus stop and when a bus pulls up blocking their way, it's just like...what did ya expect? lol

    It used to be years ago that they'd ask a certain number of passengers to deboard and board again in an attempt to raise the bus from the kneeled position. Not sure if that is even official or not though.

     

    If you ask me the operator took the easy way out by not picking up passengers as I'm sure the bus could have likely stood service until the end, but their call.

  7. Don't worry about it... I said I wasn't gonna argue what you listed & I won't..... 

    It's cool. Not placing the disclaimer for you, rather others getting in the middle wanting to refute, which in this case it might be valid.

     

    Lol @ terminating haphazardly.... I know what you mean with that... I have a bit of an issue with routes that terminate in the middle of (not much) either.......

    Yeah, it's great if it's adequately used, but in some cases it would do better to make an extension. I dare bring up the B44 to KCC as an example, lol. Not really, but still.

  8. Not at all, I still like the buses, im just saying they should of been built better, because those other new buses arent having that problem for the majority of the fleet. And some and I dont want 276 more rushed built Xcelsiors.

    I'm highly critical of the model itself, but for all anyone knows they might get it right in 2014.
