B35 via Church

Maaaan, some of y'all better be glad there's some kindhearted folk on this forum willing to take time out of their day to do this FREE service.... despite the jacked up attitudes on display in here..... how rude.... So that is you on the city-data forums... lol

I just got through browsing some of the more recent threads in buschat.... all I could do is SMFH....

didn't even know you had a facebook.... I should try to scare you.... but right now, I'm not in the mood. just go to intelius.com

is your mother's name Elease & your father's name Charles?

Have some time to kill here.... Replies in blue.......

Yes... and I was about 1/2 hour away from possibly gettin caught in that s***.... Me & my cuzzo had went & got some chinese food that saturday... I don't know (in front of what bldg) where the actual shooting took place, but I'm willing to bet it was in front of either one of those 3 stores next to the chinese food place: - in front of that damn booty parlor - in front of that record store, or - in front of that other resturant/catering place ...either way, it's always some always some BS happening on that side of the block, esp. on a saturday night.... She (my cousin) went back out to Kennedy's (utica/snyder)... calls me up & was like, yo, somebody got shot by the chinese store... all of church av is blocked off... All I could do is *smh* & tell her.... "what else is new".... but make sure you get your black a** back home...

smh... 3 mcdonald av bound B35's back to back to back @ 42nd/church @ 12:17 am...... what is wrong w/ this picture....

this is some kinda strange combination of the Q100 & the M35... I know this is all about creativity, but who would this route even attract... lol....

aye Yuki... Would you be so kind to tell me why I see a map of North America !

are we supposed be creating/talking about fantasy routes, or realistic routes ? I haven't been commenting on people's ideas due to the confusion.....

^^ It's more extensive than I thought. Thanks Yuki.

an old idea I had before the cuts: B71: Prospect Park ( to South ferry via flatbush, via union If I only knew how to do those custom google maps....

the 69 or the 49? - the 69 ends over there not too far from LGA (that's not jackson heights)... if you're trying to get to astoria blvd from the 69 terminal, well... just walk that 1/2 block south from where it drops you off.... - the 49 ends at jackson hgts (74th st terminal)... if you're trying to get to astoria blvd from therel, just take the 49 to astoria blvd... it ends over there in the 100's (street)....

yeah, I get the idea. you haven't stopped foaming since ! not goin lie... when I saw the name "Princelex", I thought you were talkin about dude on the forum here... lol...

waka flocka flame on the Q83 bus.... http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshh78dAjJ6759Z9Cwf2 low budget motherfu**er.....

yeh... and the Q24 crawls in those 3 lanes ! anyway, I'd say it's a wash, as to which of the two routes gets you from Jamaica to broadway junction (or vice versa) supposedly faster...

because.....

Touche..... I've also come to that same conclusion.... It aint much of a "trip" for me when I can wake up out of my bed, leave the house w/ sleep in my eye, in flip-flop's & a wife beater & pull off the same itineraries some of these dudes post up.... I can't 'fan in NYC (within the 5 boroughs) for a whole day... However, I've done a couple trips where they took longer than 24 hrs.... 1 of them, I didn't eat anything the whole day.... that's how focused I get sometimes.... Best way I can explain it, is.... You kinda sorta (w/ no real intent) condition yourself to do it... not that it's something that you even want to do, but if you've been on a couple of lenghty trips of the sort, you (well, I) go by, how my body feels after taking 'x' amount of buses or whatever.... like, "yeah, I think I can endure about 3-4 more full routes, etc etc"... and then I do what I like to call "the home stretch", where you start to think about once you get back into nyc, after having been OOS (state), what modes do you want to take to get back home - for me, it's usually the express bus... seldom do I take the subway home on a saturday night/sunday morning after a long fantrip .... ^^ I know that sounds geeky as all-hell, but aye, it is what it is... when I used to go fanning between [the time I graduated (college)] & [before I started working], I had this thing where I would ALWAYS leave the house before 7am... I didn't want to run into the rush hour crowd b/c: a] the crowds themselves, and.. b] it made me feel like, yo, these people are going to school, these people are heading to work... and here I am on the same train, hustlin to catch a [MNRR/LIRR train in the opposite of peak direction].... just to bus/railfan.... It's an awkward feeling... On the flipside of that, I couldn't just sit @ home checkin out newspapers & sifting through webpages on the internets 4-5 hrs a day, every weekday; sometimes you need to unwind from the stress of searching for a job, and fanning was my way of doing it.... real spit....

I won't go as far as to say I'm done, but on the real, there are times I do feel like that... that's why back in late 08 - most of 09, I started fanning out in connecticut; namely stamford's routes... this year I tackled norwalk, and some of bridgeport... next year I'll hit up hartford (which is gonna suck, since I have to take amtrak to get there) & new haven.... The rest of this year, I'm going to venture into more of central/southern NJ (by bus, I'm talking about).... If I were to spend time outside of the tri-state area, it won't just be for fanning purposes... but I'd like to check out tampa (again), as well as orlando, and miami (again).... also va. beach & the carolinas..... as far as your foci goes, Boston I'll never visit again... Baltimore I've been to on a few occasions, had an aunt that lived out there... and Atlanta I never cared much for... furthermore, didn't know you were in law school... good luck with that btw, fam.

I'm not much of a people person anyway, but after having heard (well read, you know what I mean) about what goes on, on a portion of these r/f trips in posts back on subchat/straphangers, I definitely didn't want to partake in any of the ones that were "broadcasted/plastered" on the transit forums.... that, plus I personally was never big on the photography part of the hobby.... I go on the premise that, you're bound to get into some type of trouble, the more people you hang around.... little thing called peer pressure.... others may disagree w/ that, but w/e.... plus shit, you get more of what you want done when you're by yourself anyway... hate the feeling of having someone wait on me, and I definitely hate waiting for other people..... Yeah, I can see where r/f-ing w/ others would be more about the people than the actual rides themselves.... way I see it, you don't know these people from a hole in the ground.... that's why Solitude is what it boils down to for me.

- the fact that I used love sitting in the back of the fishbowls... - my interest in bus & subway maps... street maps as well... - my interest in wanting to know what bus/subway route went where in every borough (that eventually expanded into, every route in every neighboring counties... and recently, routes in cities in the east coast....) as a kid, I drove my parents nuts in asking them "where does the flatbush av bus take you"... "where does the utica av bus take you"... "where is Kensington cortelyou rd" (this is after having taking the B67 so many times w/ my father to get to his apt. in park slope)... "where is 2-4-1 street wakefield?" (looking at the rollsign on the redbirds) ^^ speaking of which, I got a story about that last one... I was about 12-13... I was angry at my moms for something; think it had to do with coming inside early or something... so I stormed out the house & walked to nostrand & rode the ... with head in my lap, I looked up, and realized I was in uncharted territory... simpson street? I think I'm in the bronx... so this is the bronx (mind you, it was snowing that day, me & my bright ass skyblue carolina panthers jacket)... my anger turned into nervous excitement (don't know how else to put it)... decided to ride to "2-4-1 street", I heard the sound of the exertion of the air brakes & someone saying last stop... I looked up into the sky with (happy) tears in my eyes... last stop... I'm here... I did it... I get off, see a couple undesirables, but that didn't phase me none (same ish I see along church av)... I start walking down WPR, and I notice I see a bus with a blue & yellow color scheme with a big ass bee in the back... I don't see buses like that back in brooklyn.... anyway, I eventually walked to E. 180st (yeah, long walk for a 12 year old, I know) & took a back home.... That was the day where my interest in transit grew Exponentially.... it got to a point where I started collecting transfers from different routes (the blue & orange paper ones)... then the white ones (same ones we have today).... sat there & studied each route on each boroughs respective map, plus the subway map as well.... you'd have thought I was studying to be a future operations planner or something.... - the above point, expanded into wanting to RIDE every bus route/[subway, or railroad] line in every borough, neighboring counties... won't go as far as to say, every state... but I'm currently working on fanning in connecticut & new jersey.... Way I see it, this is how you learn about different cities also, which is another little interest of mine.... Now I'm a 28 year old full grown transit nut

well, that brings the long island crowd directly to the casino... surprised hampton jipney haven't thought of doing this...
