  1. Very disappointed about the last minute announcement by Nassau, NICE and the Media, smh!
  2. I meant HTC One Series, apologies for the confusing, I was talking about phone reviewers liking the HTC One Series. But I still have the iPhone...
  3. I have to say the same, the n23 empties out at Roosevelt Field Mall basically and I've literally seen people talk on the phone complaining about the n21/n23/n27 changes, and quite few of them, and some of them go on cabs and some are also going on other cars. It is nuts what NICE did to these three routes. It doesn't necessarily inconveniences me, but I'm basically forced to skip Flushing because I cannot do the n27/20 and n27/21 connections now. And heck I don't want to take the n23.
  4. Perhaps it's just a bad batch, the HTC got good reviews overall.
  5. The Q35 and B103 are all decent routes with decent ridership, I'll not cut the B103, but the Q35 could see a slight service reduction if ridership is not sufficient enough, but I think ridership is good enough to keep the current levels of service...
  6. Not gonna happen, the X32 failed, so this will fail too...
  7. It seems like some signs are capitalized "N", some are lowercased "n", some fonts are a bit small, and some are bugged like "6 N16 N16 N16".
  8. In my opinion, what NYC should need is a better traffic light system and clearer "solid/no passing" lanes, as well as some lane geometry overhauled, common cause of conjestion is due to lane switches, irregularly drawn lanes and busses and trucks being blocked by lane switches, double parking and more. Maybe, we should learn some stuff from Weehawken, New Jersey.
  9. What are you smokin'? The Bx16 and Bx34 doesn't go anywhere near Queens, or even the RFK Bridge in this matter, this'll totally screw up the service and riders wouldn't like the delays this will cause on the Bx16 & Bx34. :face-palm:
  10. Okay, since M21 service is kept being discussed here, can a M21A service between Williamsburg Bridge Bus Terminal to Manhattan [Goes via Bridge, Delancy, Essex, Houston] work?
  11. The Q44 - leave it the way it is, no need for more conjestion and crowds, or I'd just say screw it, and split it into two routes meeting in either Flushing or Parkchester...
  12. I think they programmed it too small, hopefully on the next reflash the "n24" or whatever route would be bigger and the "5 N15 N15 N15" thing will be fixed.
  13. The didn't do Broadway because they cited that the tasks FASTRACK would do was already done before FASTRACK was launched and the line is in a state of good repair. As for the Westbound Local from Parsons to 71st Ave. - Forest Hills shut down, it was perhaps a FASTRACK pilot so the could test out different methods of shut downs to see how to do FASTRACK in Queens & Brooklyn where less Subway Lines "parallel" closely together. Although this is just assuming and guessing...
  14. Well, according to the surrounding area north of 96th St. and pre-existing tunnels, Phase II could be built on time, however it all depends on the , the Contracters, local CBD's and City Hall. I do hope Phase II gets built on time, but still the first have to secure funding for Phase II, it looks like, for now, Phase II is going to be built due to political interest, however we don't know what lays in the future.
  15. Well, just know what is appropriate to say, what is not appropriate to say. The always have a purpose for their announcements and the annoucement's context and also to ensure that passengers doesn't panic.
  16. @QJTransit: Your ideas are fiscally not feasable, the n80 is not related to Glen Cove at all! And there is a form of transportation to the Airports already, it's called Taxi Cabs [or LIRR to Airtrain]. Nassau will be loosing money to fit your ideas into the system. Also, the people are being kind to you, they would be laughing their butts off after they go on the bus!
  17. Perhaps, but I still see some with the lowercase, and some with the uppercase, and some with signs like: "4 N24 N24 N24".
  18. I know there is no loss of service but the n24 route's reliability is down. I literally saw every n24 delayed within a two hour timeframe, usually it's at least on time for one run per hour. And no incidents were reported on the line throughout for your information. And the n23 and n27 is parallel but not duplicate, service reliability has gone down for both lines, I usually do the n27 - > n20 or n21 from the mall, now because the n23/n27 runs so poorly, I am taking the n22 back to Queens. As for the $7 million, the n80/81/73 is running literally the load a conversion van can carry with seats still available during off-peak hours, if anyone tell me that's saving money, they must be on some kinda drug, the n74 could carry the load of these passengers. Stop thinking Veolia and Mineola is honest, they are screwing up ridership on the high ridership lines in the North Shore, you know why? Because Mangano and Schmitt doesn't live there! They don't give a crap about the people in the North Shore!
  19. N21/N23/N27/N24/N78/N79 routes, purely ridiculous changes done by Veolia and Nassau County.
  20. Meaning not employed by the and in Yonkers, still Kawasaki has plenty of projects world wide, and in Nebraska. Yonkers is doing stuff so the Mayor should shush up.
  21. They fixed the Southern Nassau services well and logically (except N73/80/81 which should be cut to peak only). However, the Northern Nassau service is horrible, I don't seem to enjoy the reliable service anymore and all the fixes doesn't make sense. In my opinion, still Mangano and Schmitt is running the changes...
  22. Well, Kawasaki already got plenty from the - The M8's and R188, it would be unfair to give Kawasaki another contract. Yonker's mayor is just playing politics. In my opinion - North Country - 1, Yonkers - 2.
  23. @Brett and n6L: LOL, I didn't have time to post it here because it was uploaded on the day of my vacation departure so I didn't bother to think NYCTF, no offense! Yes, I took it for a reason, and it is to be like the Board Meetings and public, enjoy it! And yes there is a "spin" in some of the statements.
  24. I don't think the has any choice with the problem, but hopefully it's fixed over the rehab but the discussions show it is not fixed, that means, it's still LIPA's task to fix the power issue.
