  1. I support an extension. The politics in Astoria have changed so much that it will get community support.
  2. IAWTP. I just wanted to point out that Q19 service that late is nothing new and actually existed before. As another example in fact MTA didn't reinvent the wheel when they add Q103 weekend service as QSC ran Q103 on Saturdays until 1995. MTA just restore service that existed before.
  3. Q18 Q23 and Q49 had overnight service until 1990s. Q72 even had overnight service in 1960s. If there was enough non airport ridership, Triboro Coach would run Q33 overnights which MTA would continued doing when they take over. Q19 used to run to midnight in early 1990s. I think they cut the Q19 evening service in 1995 at the same time MTA did their cuts because at same time DOT asked all private companies to make cuts. Q18 Q23 and Q49 also had overnight buses.
  4. BxM4C is just franchise piggyback of BxM4A and BxM4B.
  5. MTA has very long lists of people who want to be drivers. There are people desperate for jobs right now.
  6. That's what Triboro Coach, Green Lines and Jamaica Bus is today. The GTJ REIT. The GTJ REIT make more money as a real estate company than as bus company, they bought more properties and have more income now then they did when they were running the buses.
  7. Manhattan bus routes before MABSTOA had both a franchise number and route number given to them by Fifth Avenue Coach Company and NYC Omnibus. NYC Omnibus route were numbered in the order that their streetcar line was dismantled for a bus line in the 1930s and the franchise number wasn't used. Fifth Avenue Coach routes had more than one official franchise number. After MABSTOA took over the private bus lines in Manhattan, the MTA did a renumbering of all Manhattan bus route in 1974. In the 1980s the MTA renumbered crosstown bus route again to coincide with street numbers.
  8. I know someone who commutes from Long Island to Long Island City and they take LIRR to Jamaica then transfer to instead of going to Hunterspoint and transferring to . They also save money by only going to zone 3.
  9. When the MTA takeover happened, the MTA honored all existing PBL bus wrap contracts. When those contracts finished, they stopped with all full wraps.
  10. I think that the reason why ppl are more receptive to a c/r's announcement is that the public thinks that all c/r's do is make announcements and open/close the door, while the b/o actually drives the bus and can take other routes that are not authorized without management's permission.
  11. My subway service cut proposal A division Late night and weekend service operates between 242 Street and New Lots Avenue. the same weekdays only Operates only between Woodlawn and Bowling Green on weekends and late nights. All service to Nostrand Junction discontinued. late night service runs only between PBP and 125 Street. the same discontinued B division Local service in Brooklyn and Queens on weekends and late nights when is not running. No Rockaway Park service. Discontinued Weekdays only. replaces in Brooklyn on weekends and late nights. replaces along CPW on weekends and late nights. Weekend and late night service runs only to 34th Street-Herald Square and operates local along CPW replacing service. Queens Boulevard local on late nights and weekends Queens Boulevard local on late night and weekends the same Jamaica Center - Bay Ridge 95th Street at all times. Weekends and late nights operates between Middle Village and Coney Island via Montague Tunnel and via West End. Local in Manhattan and express in Brooklyn via Tunnel and stopping at DeKalb at all times. the same Discontinued Discontinued
  12. I think that the would be eliminated fully. I can also see them eliminating and service and also cutting the to 96/2 at all times. I think that MTA has gotten so far along East Side Access that they have to finish it. I'm not sure Metro-North goes to Penn Station ever.
  13. A new Q100 stop on 21 Street and 24 Avenue? https://bustime.mta.info/m/?q=Q100
  14. Just because SEPTA cut service doesn't mean MTA must do the same! NYC is much bigger metro area than Philadelphia!
