It's about time veolia is reaching into there pockets & buying buses. We the riders can't not wait to enter a new bus that smells like a stretch limo ride.

Famous I am car free everyday, I cAnt wait for Nice to get the new buses, one nice driver showed me a picture of the new bus getting built in a plant. It was on nicebus Facebook page. Driver said there going to get a bunch & finally trash the old Orion bus.

I support car free li day, it should roll out more than one time a year.

Wouldn't folks in oyster bay want to take a bus for $2.50 cash instead of paying $8-15 bucks for a taxi ride it doesn't make sense to me.

Famous, why doesn't oyster bay have bus service? Isn't oyster bay located in Nassau li?

More people would take nice buses if there routes weren't long & short as the N20, sometimes it could take over a hour to get to the 7 train. If nice made routes like n20, n4 & n6 express to subway from major points on Long Island than business would be sky rocketing. If Nassau installed a bus only lane this would speed things up, also I feel the drivers drive to slow, if I was the driver I would be moving along at a good speed.

Why do people take the LIRR when they can have a luxury coach seat on a nice bus? Why wouldn't You want to take a nice bus to Jamaica & catch the subway? All on a $2.75 metro card fare

& how do you expect the Lirr riders to afford a taxi when they already paid for a train ticket? Us bus riders could only afford $2.50 cash fare. Another quarter means we have to make cuts else wear.

I understand the mta would send shuttle buses to pick up the stranded people, but if I was a nice bus driver I would open both doors & say everybody come in my bus i would help out.

If people we're left stranded on the LIRR going the direction of out east, so a nice bus would leave all the people stranded outside? That doesn't sound so nice.

Question: if LIRR was shut down or heavily delayed would nice bus cross honor LIRR tickets?

Hi tom is that 1528 a nice bus ex foothill transit bus? Those old 2nd hand buses are a raddle box I can go on those any day on the N20.

Yes those buses wouldn't work with the "u" turn at great neck, sometimes Cars park there & bus driver has to beep horn.

I meant the buses that are used on the q44, they would work on Long Island, sorry for the mistake famous, I see double decker buses in manhattan used at tour buses

The old logic in the 60s & 70s was, if you love on li you need a car. It's 2015 now li is full of young people & seniors who are on a limited income & they need public buses & at a very low price, if you keep raising the cash fare these young people & seniors will leave li & move to queens where it is more affordable. I don't know why li is different from queens, I believe li should have a bus system like queens does, where buses run every 10-15 minutes 24 hours a day, and have Nassau install bus lanes so buses can travel fast, ladies & gentleman if we have buses that speed & move fast this nice bus service would be so packed & double decker buses would be introduced.

Mta should run the bus system for Both Nassau & Suffolk under the name mta li bus. Mta would charge less money to run the system than veolia would chArge.

I think veolia should pay to operate the buses with it's own money. Nassau can't afford it.

About two years ago, while at little neck Lirr station, the crossing guards we're in the down position, very stupid elderly lady walked around it, lucky train wasn't close by & I saw a nypd officer who was walking on foot to his patrol car stop the woman & have a long convo with her, she did not look happy, I didn't hear the convo. Sometimes many elderly senior citizens do some Of the weirdest things

I disagree In a crossing market "excempt" since no lights or control signal a train driver should stop train & open his door and check both ways for traffic, Imagine a train speeding threw a crossing without stopping to look. Sometimes Lirr trains at little neck station slow down & look for people walking

If the cirus or a freight train used the excempt tracks, what would the rule book state? Bc traffic isn't required to stop I would think the train has to stop & look both directions once it's clear the train will go slow

Somebody said circus uses that excempt tracks, you never know if a out of service train or fright train uses it. If I drove for Nice I would stop at excempt crossings.

I believe law says you have to stop for excempt railroad tracks too if your driving a transit passenger bus or school buses.

On the back of each nice bus there is a sign that says this vehicle stops at all railroad crossing & they added a new sign , " drivers wanted call 516 xxx-xxxx" I didn't get the number. Where does n35 go? I would like to take a ride on a n35 & make sure the driver is stopping at the railroad crossing as he/ she is required too.

Now we know all passenger buses have to stop at railroad crossing, does NICE BUS drivers actually stop at the railroad crossings? If not that is a major ticket right?? Famous you said she turned the radio down, was this bus driver listening to a portable am/fm radio? Nice bus doesn't let it's drivers listen to a am/fm radio.

Are nice bus drivers required to stop at active railroad crossings like a school bus does?
