  1. By looking at that picture tells you that they're maintaining them?
  2. Since when does the N4 connect with the N2 & N8 at Central Ave?
  3. Mid-Island transit ran a route from Hicksville to Oyster Bay many years ago & MSBA tried a route from Hicksville to Syosset, but was discontinued. The N67 was a former Hendrickson Bus Co. route taken over by MSBA ,along with the other private Nassau operators in 1973. It was discontinued in 1976 due to low ridership. It was even a "short fare" route.
  4. For some reason,when the Metrocard was introduced to LIB, only certain 3rd-leg transfers from the subway to Nassau were allowed. For example: N4 to the N15 &32, N20,21 to the N57,58,25 & 23,N22,22A to the 25,N6 to the N1,2,3,etc. There might be others that I can't recall.
  5. They're not buying parts. Just cannibalizing the o/s buses sitting in the backyard. Was told by a dispatcher that they don't even have headlights in stock.
  6. The one benefit of the 45 & 51 being rerouted to the parking field #3 stop is it should lessen the crowds that board at the student union stop, since they now have to walk over to there for the 45 & 51.
  7. The problem with the N6 extension is it will get delayed by traffic within NCC, esp. when classes break. That will screw up the reliability from HTC.
  8. No it's not. The Queens Center Mall is west of Woodhaven Blvd. The 59 starts & ends on Queens Blvd at Junction Blvd near where Alexander's used to be.
  9. There is a sign code for MNRR Service. NYCT bus is 9101 & MTA Bus is 26.
  10. Oh oh-wait til that Burrstone guy reads this. He's not gonna like what you said about NICE.
  11. Not exactly Suffolk Transit,but does anyone know how Bolt Bus is doing with their Long Is. service?
  12. There was one curvy unimproved road through Mitchell Field connecting Hemp. Tpk. through NCC to Stewart Ave. Mid-Island Transit(formerly Star Bus) was the only one that ran through there. As far as I know,the N51 took Stewart Ave to Merrick Ave bet. Roos. Fld & Merrick.
  13. A 2nd transfer could be used on the N88 unless you started on a NYC bus first.
  14. That's incorrect. Transfers were valid from all connecting routes to the N88 with any MC. The N87 also accepted transfers from all connecting routes.
  15. The Clever Device works by satellite. Not by wheel rotation or any of the other assumptions that have been posted. The buses are currently being dry-run on all the routes for the new system that's being installed.
