    I am going to guess that there will be no “S” since if I remember correctly, they refer to the lines as Route #, not route S# in the final draft presentation. And as someone who just recently started a daily commute from Fresh Meadows to Holtsville (torture, I know), I cannot wait to see the schedules. The fact that I get out of work at 4:30 and the earliest train from Ronkonkoma to Jamaica that I can catch is the 5:55 because of the 7A only running every 70 minutes in the afternoon is infuriating. 30 minute service on route 51 can’t come soon enough. 

    Yeah I kind of figured. It would be good to expand those destination signs.

    Ouch! How early do you get to Ronkonkoma? I know the S63 has one trip to Patchogue via Holtsville, which leaves around 6:55?

    I think @jaf0519 is correct. I believe they will also attempt to put some of the major corridors on the destination sign (e.g. "via Montauk Highway" for the 2 or "via Middle Country Road" for the 58) 

    By any chance, would it work to take the 7A to Patchogue for the Montauk Branch? (You'd get to Jamaica about 9 minutes earlier compared to the Ronkonkoma Branch)

    Yes. Let's see if they follow through because they went through he#/ adding "S40 via Middle Rd"

    I wonder...

     

    Now that the "Feeder" routes are somewhat gone. Will the NEW routes have "S92" OR just simply "92"? It would be funny to see the S2, S4, S5, etc. Also, hopefully the destination signs on the Xcelsiors will be programmed to look better. I'm not expecting MTA style destination signs BUT at least spell out "NRTHPRT"

    Per the Suffolk County Transit's website:

    Coming Soon: The New Suffolk County Transit System

    The Suffolk County Transit System is getting a new look! Following a multi-year redesign of the Suffolk County Transit System's bus network, known as Reimagine Transit, a new bus system that is expected to be more reliable and efficient is coming to Suffolk County in the Fall of 2023. The new network of the Suffolk County Transit system will feature longer hours, full Sunday service, timed connections, increased frequency and improved routes to get to where you need to go faster.

    For more information, go to Suffolk County Transit's website: www.sct-bus.org

    ...and they switched the S58 with the S62 in Riverhead. It appears the S58 will use and stay on NYS 25 as oppose to the previous plan with the S58 traveling along County Road 58 in Riverhead and then down County Road 43.

    Meanwhile that S80....UGH....yeah I'm not feeling that disrespect in Calverton. Oh and the "On-Demand" in The Hamptons. The "Artist formerly known as the 10A" pears to be working. However, I'm curious to see how that "On-Demand" will work in Montauk during the summer months.

    I don’t think that 83 LFS will cover up for all the NGs at LGA. It is subject to change anyway.

    I understand...that's why I put "Subject to change" at the end of my post. Kind of funny, the XD40 order remains the same. LaGuardia will get more XD40s. We'll see what happens.

    In case anyone is wondering about assignments, they are as follows:

    MTA Bus Novabus LFS order: 8964-9271 

    136 JFK

    46 BP

    100 LGA, 

    26 TBD

     

    MTA Bus New Flyer XD40 order: 9282-9387

    42 to JFK

    34 to ECH

    40 to LGA

    The way I see it, the assignments (subject to change) would be like this:

    Novabus LFS:

    BP: 8964-9009 (46)
    JFK: 9010-9098, 9199-9245 (136)
    LGA: 9099-9198 (100)
    TBA: 9246-9271 (26)

    Well this is no surprise BUT per the latest "upcoming delivery list", LaGuardia is getting 83 LFS while JFK/Far Rockaway increased to 64 LFS. This is coming from the 173 LFS order. So in total, JFK/Far Rockaway would receive 145 LFS while LaGuardia receives ONLY 83 LFS. Of course, this is subject to change.
