Story time.

So after work, I managed to catch 5878 on the M34A(and for those inquiring, it does have Quill decals). As the bus turned over to 9th Avenue, I happened to notice a buff(an adult at that) that was literally at the front. The op had to open the front door only because there was traffic and two coach buses blocking the stop at 9th/42nd. As folks were going in to the bus, this buff was in the way, and that in itself was annoying.

As we made our way down 9th Avenue, this same buff got off at a stop just to get a picture of the bus, this kept happening at several other stops along the way. The people sitting behind me were getting annoyed at the dude, and the bus op looked completely over it and just wanted him off. It didn't help that he was delaying the bus to the point where an M34 caught up.

If you're a buff and you do this kind of nonsense, you guys gotta stop. And if any of ya'll read this and catch feelings over this post, that's your problem and I don't care. That was pretty annoying to go through, especially since I was trying to go the f**k home. 34th was already bad with traffic tonight, this just made things worse. Think before you act, and use some freaking common sense, especially on a bus that was progressively getting more crowded.

Foamer would be the politically correct term to describe this person, but yeah, I agree with you 100%. There are ways to do busfanning, and that is not one of them.

Seems like 5878 as well. Wonder why Quill needs the buses. 

Apparently #5878 has the Quill stickers on it.

Does the Bx16 enter Westchester County when operating along Mundy Lane?

Going towards Norwood, it actually tips the border with Mount Vernon. It's stop says West Sandford Boulevard and South 11th Avenue, putting it in Mount Vernon.

What is with these 40FT Novas having crappy A/C? Rode two of them today, one of them a brand new 8800 that still had the new bus smell, had weak A/C. Transfered to an 2014/2015 Nova and that bus had weak A/C as well.

 

They got it right with the Cuomo scheme Nova artics which have good A/C, it's just the 40FT Novas (all batches) where the A/C is weak.

 

 

New Flyer certainly got Nova beat in the A/C department. 

Well, I rode #5987 back from Jamaica last month (when it was like 92 Degrees outside), and the AC was weak, and that's a New Flyer.

I can't fit all the text on one line, could I split it into two? Is that how you wanted it?

Sure! Yes!

Ah, alright. Yeah, that was a while ago. Glad to see you're back! I'll make the signs now.

Thanks, and yeah, I've grown a lot since then!

Remind me, what was the last thing you requested?

That M12 to South Ferry proposal, WAY back in October.

Simply what happens when you slap mandates. Americans don't like mandates and being told what to do.  (I won't turn this into political charades) 

However, taking away a persons way of living is not the thing especially if these politicians talk about stimulating the economy.. 

... Welcome to 2022.

That's why I predict that in the midterms, a lot of people are gonna be voting red this time around.

I believe the N25 does go to North Shore University Hosp..

And the N26 as well on Weekdays.

I've been busy with school/work life and haven't gotten time to really study the Queens re-design plan to really provide some insight. However, from what I'm reading so far it's a complete cluster f*ck with alot of the routes, express thru only, connections to subway, and extensions to Lake Success/New Hyde Park, Great Neck and etc.  TA should provide more Queens/Nassau service without compromising much of the NICE transportation. (Good luck to the new Nassau Executive... A republican. LI will get screwed again)

A route to North Shore Hospital in Manhasset as well (doesn't the N25 bus go there)?
