OMNY does work on the trains, but not on the Novas and 3Gs that are running the subway shuttle

Also, will OMNY work on the SIM buses? Even the SIM23/24 operated by academy

...and what are you basing that on?

What collective of communities in NJ, that doesn't already have direct access to upper Manhattan via the GWB bus terminal, is just clamoring for said access enough to where anymore routes need to serve it? You're not making that clear at all.....

My point is, PABT has routes to all across NJ, compared to GWB where it is only on or near the Rt. 4 corridor. I'm saying: shouldn't there be more service to other areas of NJ

Columbia University has shuttle buses for the graduate students that live in Riverdale. They run decently. The students that travel further south take the express buses. No need to make stops that far North and West. 

The shuttle buses only run to the GWB Bus Station before crossing the bridge and going to Fort Lee/Lamont

UCAT is avaliable online!

@WestFarms36, where else would I put a Coach USA random thoughts thread? 

I found the Other Transit Systems page.

Post anything about CoachUSA!

No way can anyone with a straight face say that the demand for more people in/out of NJ is that to/from upper Manhattan, compared to Midtown Manhattan.

It's not higher than PABT, but still, only 7 NJT routes? It should have more.

Post anything about Coach USA!

Note about Express Buses: I think the BxM2 should run further up the west side to either 110th or 125th St. I know that a lot of people would find this super convenient.

Also, the Bus random thoughts has HART, PART, UCAT, NICE, SCT, others, not only NYCT

By 2040, the MTA bus fleet will be all electric.

Really? WOW!

How? It’s non-stop from 125th & Park Ave (SB) and 125th & 3rd Ave (NB) to 179th & St. Unless you want it to operate middays and early evenings 

Go up HRD to 179, over to Broadway, and up Broadway as an Express Route. Maybe it'd be called the BxM12 if it went to the Bronx, or the X98 if it kept its current routing. Also, by express bus, I meant operating Prevosts and MCIs, not Orions

Actually, before 2010, The Manhattan Ninety-Eight went as far as 33rd & Lex, then it was truncated to 67th. That’s number one, number two, it’s a limited peak service

I know, by change the routing, I meant change the routing in Upper Manhattan. But wouldn't it be better as an express service?

There are far more people going to PABT. There used to be a lot more bus service to GWB, but ridership dwindled. It never really competed with PABT.

True, but what about the MCIs? GWB could use some more MCI or Artic service...

Post any random thoughts about Coach USA - ShortLine, Rockland Coaches, Red&Tan, Olympia Trails, and more.

Post away

Will they ever exist? I know there are 10 demo buses, but will there ever be real big fleets of them?

Will the 7 train ever actually be extended to NJ?

Weird question: Why is the M98 a local route? Shouldn't it be express, and then be extended to the Bronx (sort of like the BxM1 in Inwood)? I know they'dhaveto change the routing significantly, but it would probably boost ridership

I heard a few years ago that after the Hudson Line station was built at 125th St (West Side), they would terminate the M104 there. Is this true?

The M14A/D are definitely going Select Bus, with 14th Street between 3rd and 9th Avenues closed to car traffic during most of the day. That’s why the XD60 order assignments were changed.

 

You're right, I forgot.

The M96 is to be next, and is supposed to be out of Manhattanville Depot

I think it is already out of Manhattanville depot. Will it actually happen in the near future?

Just wondering: Why does NJ Transit not run more buses to/from the GWB Bus Terminal? It is so much more convenient to get to for a lot of people! Also, why are there virtually no MCIs (MCIs only on the 171 route) at GWB versus almost every bus being an MCI at PABT?

It's reopened!

Also, will all of the Crosstown buses be SBS? I mean the M23, M34/34A, M86, Bx6, M79, and M60 are, so will they change the M8, M14A/D, M42, M66, M72, M96, M106, and M116 be turned into SBS too? I think it's a good idea.

Well, I mean it's not going to happen, but just a thought
