error46146

Well that's why im only extending the Eliot Ave half to Ridgewood, and not both the Eliot and Rego Park half.. the reason why the Rego Park half gets sent to Flushing is because there is no direct one seat ride method right now to get from Rego Park to Flushing; all options involve backtracking out to the 58 or the 7 train.. those on the Eliot half who are going to Flushing can connect to the Q58 by leaving/entering the bus at 108th Street

I dont think anyone would want to take the Q38 local route going through Middle Village and everything when they have a Q58 Limited up to Flushing.. the Ridgewood/Downtown Brooklyn routes are a different case as they are all local routes

Ok I plotted out my plan for the Eliot half of the 38, in orange. Call it the Q51 there. Take a look:

As for extending the 38 to Ridgewood, they already have plenty of bus routes & in addition there is already a Ridgewood - Flushing route with a limited, so it would be kinda pointless to extend the 38 down there.. maybe somewhere else..

Well for Lefrak the 88 is much more frequent than the 38, so yea people would rather take that instead. the 72 isn't a good route either, but it doesn't get bunched up as bad as the 38 does based on what I see

Well my idea was to extend this half of the 38 to Flushing because I know there is a demand for it in this area.. There is no convenient way to get from Rego Park to Flushing; all the ways would have to involve backtracking (R train to Q58 or R train to 7 train). The Q38 going to Flushing should bring a significant ridership boost to the whole route itself. For those living on the Eliot half, perhaps their new route can be adjusted to meet up with the Q58 in Corona.

Yes it could be extended further down to Ridgewood if desired, however, how that would be done would need a bit more thought.. however I also want to make sure the route doesn't get too long or else it'll still end up being delayed and bunched up.

Yes but I just wanted to show off the map i made for it lol

So I finally took the time to make a map for my Q38 plans...

https://maps.google....037531,0.084543

The Eliot Ave half of the Q38 would be served by a new bus route with no routing changes (since I'm not 100% sure of the ridership patterns and demographics of Corona and that area I'm not going to touch it yet)

 

Didn't know the 44s were capable of screaming like that. Thought it was only a 60-footer thing, especially prevalent in the 32s.

 

the 44s had similar motors to the 32s and 42s... damn I miss the 44's on the A, it's just not the same with a 46..

3590 @ LGA, bus still had SC stickers on it

There is no such thing as R-189...

If you are talking about the R179s, I don't think they'll be coming here anytime soon..

I cleaned up my desktop a while ago, used to be full of files everywhere (dumped them into the more desktop stuff folder lol)

Q38 runs from Flushing-Main St to Metropolitan Ave & Eliot Ave

Q51 runs via Eliot Ave.

This is how the Q38 was originally planned anyway (except the Eliot half was called the Q50)

Alright thanks

Will an "ultrasonic" lens cap fit my 50mm prime lens? Adorama ran out of regular ones lol

I love it when artics run fast down the Lexington ave. M101 did its honor today

that is a rare sight lol

Happened months ago. It's a good bus too --- ungoverned. lol

don't let the MTA know lolol

No love for Vice City? lol

GTA3 they already redid Liberty City in GTA4, as much as I'd love them to re-do it again they probably won't lol

GTA San Andreas they should just make a movie outta that

I love the 80s theme in Vice City lol

Is it ok if I clean my camera filters and lenses with rubbing alcohol?

I'd recommend the Fuji. GE-branded cameras aren't really made by GE; they are manufactured under license (basically GE allows them to use their trademark which imo is dumb but w/e)

I have this camera. Normally, I take pictures using AUTO, but I would like to try something new, as in, trying out other settings. Suggestions?

 

Oh, stop showing off.

I dont think your camera would have any manual control modes..try playing around with the Scene modes or Program (P) mode, if it has one.

It's not the camera, but the person behind the camera.

A camera is a machine. It does not have any photography skill.

Why?

He has a grudge against the R32's for some odd reason lol

BILL

can't get any easier than that

i've seen better lol

chances are the person who did this could have come from Europe...they come here just so they can draw on our trains and show off to the home country lol

..with a twist - show off your actual "desktop" (top of your desk)

I'll start with mine:

idk i just had this crazy idea all of a sudden lol

Allshit (i mean alstom) should NEVER build anything at all for NYC again. The end.

if this hasn't been said already since I didnt read through all 10 pages lol the MTA is supposed to go with whoever has the offer with the lower price. Me I think they will probably end up with kawasaki or bombardier again; of course it would always nice to see a 3rd party manufacturer come into the subway however.
