That's cause those are the only ones that run with reasonable headways.

Dude your in valley stream those are the 2nd worst in the NICE system. The worst are the ones people barely use.

Okay happens to me all the time.

Interesting are you intrigued by many different buses across the US?

I could educate them on how to better use and unite all the forms of transportation available but that may prove difficult. One more thing I do not simply have the time for them. "Ain't Nobody Got Time For That" I have too much going on. However I did leave a lasting impression on NJT as some of their higher ups spotted me before I recognized em while doing stuff in Hoboken (non-transit related). I bit off I hope I don't leave a similar one on NICE that would scare me.

Correction switch most with very few then you would be accurate. Most have smartphones you are a minority realize that. People can get their own schedules you aren't needed for that.!!

My trips are more extreme in his defense then again my trips have purpose and I get paid. This is yuki it's a lost cause don't bother. At least I try different transit systems. Dude schedules are for riders with a job and trip purpose stop hogging them for yourself. I get around this with my phone but it dies some people need those schedules one per person for a reason.

For a bit of good luck you should make me your LIRR goodluck charm but it happens to me on other systems so whatever. Let's get this straight public transportation anywhere on long island is nothing but SHIT. However I do find the drinking on the LIRR amusing glad I ain't the only one who noticed how everyone on the LIRR is drunk hay at least you get free entertainment that is better than the shit you see on the subways. One doesn't simply associate public transit in LI with on time well not Westchester on the second on time.

the bus system in Nassau only has riders who don't or can't get cars for these reasons : 1) poor peak service 2) parkways 3) buses don't connect directly to job centers or go where people WANT to go NYC doesn't count. 4) poor access to LIRR Trains. If NICE offered service to Manhattan it won't get used why LIE & LIRR thats why. 5 ) LIB/NICE always did a very poor job attracting choice riders with some exceptions N6,70/71/72& 58 being outliers. You do realize SCT daily riders pay more than NYC transit users right. Nobody who uses buses in LI is happy ever. It got so bad the preachers harrass NICE bus riders now.

Ohh my he got your interest.

Persistant aren't ya.

Your combination can increase service to 25 minutes or 20 so it can be taken seriously. But they are going to dwindle nothing now is stopping it.

On the contrary if you look at the NICE bus network and then overlay a map showing all LIRR stopping patterns in Nassau on each line and then slap on NICE on the same map you would see that slamming onto the say cheaper LB & Far rockaway lines without making traffic very inefficient. Say the fares for SE stations gets dropped and then queens village+Hollis but for now just SE queens fares get enforced via turnstiles those getting off from queens or short distance pay with metrocard or it's successor those entering stations just go through like a reverse of the subway gates. Buy tickets via metrocard at those stations only fares for babylon trains and into Nassau unaffected remember the layout of roads on the Hempstead line. Those going from Jamaica to Penn pay full price due to duplication of

MTA seems to as well as many suburban transit agencies. Omg did you just make 2 useless routes into one less useless one? admire the effort though.

Does that also apply to the Long beach and Far rockaway lines? The other bxm line is 3 but to a much smaller extent not so sure on that one. The elderly have been used as scapegoats for years by many areas not just NYC and MTA but all over the country to keep inefficient routes alive even many small towns across the country do it to try and sway greyhound and other agencies to keep light routes alive. Since this is a queens thread should the Q44 get a super LTD version? If so why? If not againwwhy? I lurked the Brooklyn thread and saw your exchange with that new guy I forgot his name already but you said something about his LGA route needing to reach more people how is that possible? Won't routing it via park ave,meeker and greenpoint ave skip the BQE And having it serve downtown Brooklyn reach more riders?

Define glory ohh wait what glory? LI never had a glorious system ever. sir I dare you to try the N58 sir. SCT's fare structure alone chases people away. Would you like to try the bee-line system For a day then come back. One more thing 60% of NJT BUS &RAIL riders own cars!!!

Qm3 is the one that bucks this due to rider choice which is why MTA keeps it around. X63 to a lesser degree but it seems to have many stops far from LIRR. Enough to keep it plus is all it's ridership was in Rosedale it won't exist merrick blogs props it up. Bxm4 duplicates a LTD directly and a subway line for most it's route in addition it's segment that is far from the subway is close enough to the MNRR that it almost has no outerborough segment without significantly more frequent and in Woodlawn's case faster competition you have to be very high on whatever to comeup with any scenario other than rail mistakes where this bus I mean $6 limo is quicker from Woodlawn to Manhattan than MNRR as the old saying "numbers don't lie" compare it to any other express route exactly you can't. Drop it and move on. Nimbys are nothing more than foolish people meant to be ignored. They kill progress wherever they are the proper term is "angry fools"

As it is yes but if they wanted to cut distance on lines like the W6 and eliminate duplication they could pull off the unlikely.

It only applies to just 1 bronx express route if you factor traffic then just 2 coincidentally of which have below average ridership for a bxm route and are lower than BMs after cuts. 1 QM bucks this for some reason but for a line with 3 buses it's used more than it looks so the MTA just keeps it around for this reason alone. The rest of the express bus network is nowhere near MNRR &LIRR and the numbers show why routes like BXM9,7,8 OR QM5/6& 2 succeed position of said routes are a factor you seem to ignore.

Hmm offpeak extension to Pleasantville with W6 truncated at white plains W21 extension to Pleasantville or substitution of W3 segment past WP to the W21 for those going to business parks and W3 to pleasantville full-time. To sustain peak hr 20x trips become 21. Those are the conditions to boost W3. Another takes it a step further and drops 1T then 4(select) trips to Tarrytown.

A service is a service it doesn't matter if it's a bus or train for getting from point A to B. If a premium fare his involved with 2 services the fastest wins.

3 under certain conditions yes 41 nope 40 ain't anywhere near as slow as the 20.

Funny thing is the x25 had ridership so abysmal it was down there with routes on rural systems actually it made those buses look crowded. It was literally the ultimate WTF Fail route. Enjoy the $6 giant limousine sorry I meant x25. Just be like SI when they run out of buses and slap on a prevost or MCI anyway on this M90.

Sadly 2 things 1) it barely runs 2) MNRR is quicker unless your starting point is in queens or LI. Then again M60 or use of or if you're lucky trailways/shortline bus which is faster but inhibited by poor marketing and frequency.

I don't even use the W60 in the bronx since its so slow I either use other buses or go MNRR for Westchester truth be told some W60s meet metro-north trains in Westchester of course.
