They've already taken over transdev operations as of the 1st of this month. NJT is using the transdev garage for operations until they can figure out where they can store the buses and which garages will be willing to take on those routes. Howell already vetoed the idea of them operating those routes.

thanks. I was confused since the website still shows them under Transdev.

Thought they got rid of it already?

I heard NJT wants to get rid of the Transdev contract soon. Anyone know when exactly? I'm hearing November 1st.

5523 back at Quill, on the M86 SBS rn

And now it's postponed until further notice. Great.

Does Orchard Beach provide bus service during the Sunday and Monday, the week of Labor Day? I noticed today when boarding the Q35 from Beach 116 St, the Q35 made an additional (extra) stop at Riis Park going to Brooklyn College as this week, the schedules are listed to bypass the Park after Beach 149 St and to the next stop, Beach 169 St.

yes

The question for the Q12: did the route actually gained more ridership because of their use of articulated buses? Or it's the same using both the standard and articulated buses on the line. I noticed that 6033, 6035, 6037 and 6039 gets switched from time to time between the Q12 and Q44-SBS. 

from what I've seen, it's not getting that much increased ridership. Sure, it helps the school kids at JHS158 and the other schools, but minus that, I haven't really seen much people riding them.

The website has been updated with the new schedules 

The n71S shuttle will indeed stop at Sunrise Mall between Farmingdale State and Amityville

https://www.nicebus.com/Passenger-Information/Now

I find that to be stupid when the n54/55 exists....

I always hope when I see NICE making service adjustments that they would increase n4 service because it has the 2nd highest ridership in the entire county but not enough service. Take a ride on that route during the PM Rush & evening hours and most buses are crowded and it’s even worst with the amount of buses with busted A/C. What they need to do is having some of those old Rockville Centre short turns returns so not every bus is going out to Freeport. 

n20:

I knew at some point they would introduce an n20x route but I wonder what that would that mean for the n20H. Does anyone think the n20X should run all the way to Hicksville? I haven’t been on the n20H since 2021 so I don’t know how the ridership to Hicksville. I think there is too much service on Northern Blvd east of Great Neck with the n20H, n20X and n21. 

n22x:

I would honestly have the n22x run express between Jamaica and RFM and then have it run the regular n22 route to Hicksville while the regular n22 from Jamaica gets extended to RFM. 

n70/71/72:

I’m a bit confused about the n71. Is all of its service from Hempstead being eliminated in favor of just having the n70 be the main route? 

no. the n71 is well weird, it's gonna operate 2 routes:

Weekdays: Currently as it is

Weekends: Farmingdale to Amityville

Where does it say that the N71 will only run between Farmingdale State and Amityville on weekends? The Nice website literally never says anything about that.

I checked the September Paddles....
