I took a ride on the B35 earlier, and my god was that such a horrible experience. Double parked cars, bikes not paying attention to the rules of the road, bikes with zero lights at night time, someone smoking pot in the back of the bus...
Our bus drivers have to put up with so much, sheesh...
I'm surprised both sets aren't coupled and testing together.
Also, aren't these cars suppose to go throughout the entire B-Divison for clearance testing before testing other stuff?
You clearly don't understand what I'm talking about.
Fare beating = non-accurate ridership data. Had you actually read my paragraph, before the passenger counters were installed, they were going off the fare data.
Which is why, even in the subway videos they make, they tell us to pay our fare or else they won't see that we are using that specific train line/bus route.
First of all, don't talk to me like im 3.
Second of all, I'm not making up any conclusions. Unless you were at the meeting when I asked, your opinion isn't warranted or needed. These are the answers I got from the planners themselves, you got an issue with their common sense, you tell them.
Thats what I was told. I asked at one of the public meetings why the Q53 was getting eliminated and they simply stated the Q52 has more ridership based on the "data" tbey have.
If the issue was really congestion, they would have kept the Rockaways portion of the Q53.
It seems that some of the devices don't work. I saw someone tap on the M15 +SBS+ earlier and it said GO, yet when the eagle team asked them to tap on their devices, they said he didn't pay.
So with the recent announcement, has stated that all day boarding pilots will be coming to 10 bus routes ONLY for the time being.
Some of the bus routes I'm hearing being rumors:
Bx12+SBS+, Q53, M15+SBS+, B46 so far.
The only reason why they messed with the Q53 is because of the high fare beating that goes on in that route.
IIRC, the passenger counters weren't installed on the Q53 until sometime in the middle of 2020, so they couldn't have known that the Q53 is the highest ridership route other then the Q52.
Multiple issues here.
ATO is having a problem and letting the brakes get released when they're suppose to be locked.
Door safety lock isn't recognizing that the doors are open, or else the brakes would be applied.
I heard a couple of things:
Some type of northward B68 extension to Red Hook, followed by a terminal change from Mermaid Loop to Brighton Beach.
This one dosent make sense so take it with a grain of salt,
A split of the B35, with the B35 Local being discontinued and replaced by a rerouted B15 to McDonald's Av. The B35 LTD continues to JFK replacing the former B15.
News media in General are a bunch of morons who don't know what they're talking about.
Prime example, "Brooklyns poorest neighborhoods get stuck with the oldest MTA buses". That wasn't even true, yet it caused the accelerated retirement for the RTS's. Daily News lost my respect after that.
Greg Mocker is by far the only reporter that knows what he's talking about, and he has my respect for that.
Yes, I'm referring to that exact video.
I'm baffled at if a person falls thats preventable. So if I'm driving a bus and someone randomly falls, my probation gets extended for no reason?
They say they will resume in the Fall, but will implement the final Bronx plan in the summer. Perhaps they will resume finishing the Queens draft plan?
