  1. They won't fiqure it out most of the people are seniors, & Walk with canes & have disabilities, the SBS machines even look hard to operate, I tried to use one once in manhattan for the M15 it wouldn't take my dollar bills. I gave up & took a m15 local which was packed.
  2. If SBS comes to the Q44 it will be a problem here in flushing, many people Are custom to pay on the bus, many people especially seniors would have a hard time paying at a machine & hold a paper receipt that somebody can easily misplace. I think many flushing residents will just use the Q20 now & Q44 SBS will Be basically used for Bronx- Jamaica residents as a express route. I think MTA should have agents helping people pay at the SBS machines at the 38th ave & the 41st ave stops for Several months to help & show the public. Believe me many people are used to paying on the bus.
  3. Just got on a N20 in great neck to flushing & there is a lady who smells so bad the back of the bus is empty, she is drinking a large soda but the soda is clear it is prob beer or wine. The lady smells bad.
  4. Will the foothill buses from california have heat this winter? Since the buses we're from California do they have actual heat? I think only a/c only.
  5. Price should have nothing on having outlets on buses, oh because you pay more so you feel You should have access to a outlet? It's either for everybody or nobody. You think local bus isn't a long ride? Some local bus routes in queens are over one hour with traffic.
  6. How about outlets on local buses? Because we take local bus we shouldn't have access to a outlet? I hope they come on nice bus too.
  7. Are nice buses really that bad shape? ( mechanic wise ) they seem to operate fine too me. I say leave the buses alone just keep Running them back & forth & see what happenes.
  8. Why did nice bus laid off the auto mechanics? Who will fix our buses? I saw a orange bus with outside back engine door open I tried to tell driver but he saw me & speed off.
  9. Walking back to little neck to take Q12 I see bus stop on glennwood street towards great neck has 4 customers waiting.
  10. I think nice bus should install more metrocard machines on Long Island so people can buy metrocards instead of carrying around $2.75 in coins
  11. Here is the trick I do, I pay $2.75 in coins & tell the driver il get paper transfer on my way out, so as I exit great neck I request my paper transfer & then stay about 1 hour & 45 min short stay & walk to Q12 & get a ride back to flushing, all One one fare.
  12. Famous how was the rate the ride trip? Did most of the nice buses show up or we're they no shoes?
  13. Famous I am with my aunt we are trying to disable the instant message we can't fiquure it out any suggestions? Thank you
  14. I agree NICE buses should NOT enter the college, not college students have a car or there parents take them, on a side note famous, thank u for the helpfull ideas so the poor people like me can apply for food stamps & get some food, I took N20 nice bus # 1523 to great neck to go to my aunt / grandmother house in great neck she is going to print me conducter exam notice for mta, & also help me apply for food stamp benefits. n20 passed 6 Q12 on norther blvd I don't get why q12 is so slow, n20 fly bye. It's like taking a train compared to q12. Famous nyc conducter exam is out maybe you should apply. I would drive NICE bus but I don't driver license now.
  15. Hi, I am waiting for a N20 at Roosevelt av & Main Street for 15 minutes & saw 4 Q12 buses go by. Where is the N20??
  16. $2.50 extra a week that is ten dollars a month. Some people need that $10 dollars a month for food. People make a choice it's either take the bus or have that bolonga & cheese sandwich.
  17. Slightly off topic, but who runs Suffolk transit? Does nice run it also?
  18. Yes famous the buses we're ordered free after hurricane sandy, now I remember.
  19. I prefer to pay in coins sometimes 30 day unlimited pass doesn't work on nice bus I get error
  20. $2.75 yes it is a good price if it's for one time only, when somebody takes bus twice a day it is $2.75 times 2 then tnat number times 7 days It adds up.
  21. Most people who use public transportation on Li & NYC are on a low limited income, that's if the person has any income at all. It is designed to be cheap & affordable. when NYC first started public transportation it was 5 cents for over 40 years. One mayor once made a suggestion all buses & trains in LI & NYC should be FREE. I forgot who I saw it on tv one night. This is why yellow taxi have 50 MTA surcharge to Fund mta & nice bus companies. 50 cent surchase I mean to say. How do you edit a post?
  22. We have the lowest fares in the nation? Is $2.75 a cheap fare? Public transportation is meant to be cheap & affordable.
