New Jersey Transit - Random Thoughts Thread
A Former New Yorker replied to Orion VII 4 Life's topic in New Jersey Transit
Are they added more service to the #31 at some point? Bus is always crowded and it's ridiculous that have it run such crap headways despite running along a major corridor like South Orange Avenue -

Is there a way to look up vehicle numbers on Mybusnow. PTV results are super limited for some reason -

BUS - Random Thoughts Thread
A Former New Yorker replied to EE Broadway Local's topic in New York City Bus
Checked the bus times for the right now and there are only buses going towards Canarsie and nothing going towards Williamsburg. They f**ked up hard -
I've been thinking about setting up a transit company operating in NYC. I already have ideas for routes and know how to do scheduling such but idk the exact steps to properly pull it off like how does one find a garage location or if it's possible that the MTA would gives away retired buses or if we have to buy our own and also how does one advertise our services to the general community/areas we will serve. I'm genuinely serious about persuading this and would like help make transit in NYC the best it can be

Why are NJT doing that, is it for safety concerns? -

BUS - Random Thoughts Thread

I was thinking about extending the Q112 north up Rockaway Blvd and having it end at the 75 St-Elderts Lane station instead of at the Rockaway Blvd station. -

How many people are actually taking the B98V/Q98V. I'm assuming ridership might increase over time but would it prevent those routes from being another B91/B92 -
Bronx Division Bus Proposals/Ideas
A Former New Yorker replied to cotb16's topic in New York City Bus
LaGuardia Airport is pretty well-served by public transportation. Service to Brooklyn: Take M60+ to the (N), Manhattan: M60+ SBS and others parts of Queens: Q47, Q48, Q72. But there's no route providing an one-seat ride to the Bronx. So I crafted one Bx48: Operates LaGuardia Airport to Parkchester. Runs along Westchester Av, right on E 167 St and then E 169 St, left on Franklin Av, right on E 168 St, left on 3rd Av, merge onto St Anns Av, right onto E 149 St, left onto Grand Concourse and merge onto Major Deegan Expy to RFK Bridge and follows along the M60+ SBS to LaGuardia Airport. This route connects to the up to Whitlock Av, at 149 St - GC and The Hub. Also could serve as a general Queens to Bronx connector. -
Staten Island Bus Proposal Thread 2012-2013
A Former New Yorker replied to FamousNYLover's topic in New York City Bus
The "Combination" is a express route that runs in both Downtown and Midtown. Forget to mention that all "Combination" routes run on Church St/6 Av. The SIM16 is intended to provide express service along Richmond Terrace between Port Richmond and South Av. The SIM33C goes down South Av up to Forest. The SIM16 goes all the way down to Teleport and merge into W Shore Pkwy. I think having it end in Lower Manhattan or run through West St would make it a decent alternative to the SIM33. Making it a rush hour only route is also better. As for the SIM36, Eltingville was the only terminal I could think of at the time. If the route went all the down Victory Blvd to Travis, it could be an express variant of local S62/S92 up to Clove Road -

Express Bus Ideas: SIM13: Operates from Woodrow Rd/Lenevar Av to Greenwich Village.

Runs along New Dorp Lane, left on Amboy Road, then right on Arden Av and then runs though Korean War Veterans Pkwy/NJ Tunrpike/42nd St/5 Av/Madison Av SIM36: Operates to Eltingville Transit Center to Midtown via Richmond Av, right on Victory Blvd, right onto Clove Road and follows the SIM31 until 57 St SIM17: Operates from Oakwood (S76 termimal) to Midtown via Todt Hill Road. Straight on Mill Road, left on New Dorp Lane, right on Richmond Road, slight left on Todt Hill Road, left on Ocean Terrace, right on Bradley Av, right on Gannon Av and takes merger near Bradley, runs along Gowanus Exp, FDR and then 23rd and right on Madison Av ending at 57th St SIM2X: Operates from Tottenville to Downtown. Runs along Hylan Blvd along the regular SIM2 portion, left on Seguine Av, right on Amboy Road, left on Foster Road, left on Drumgoole Road and merge onto Korean War Veterans Expy and then W Shore Expy and follows the SIM2 to Downtown -

I had it go south to serve the SIR, thus giving it a direct link from Amazon to the other parts of the island that the SIR serves. It more or less would double as a feeder route to it than have them go all the way to St George via the S40 Good points though 😌 -

It's been a good while since I was gone. Now the S40 is the only route serving the Amazon location by Old Place that connects much of the northern part of SI along Richmond Terrace and connecting to the ferry. There should be a route connecting the other parts of SI to the center and that's where the S64 comes in S64 Howland Hook <> Annadale https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1sPjElvp9pEzATr6kLJzKeJNApT3iGsya&usp=sharing
