  1. They've removed the word "proposed" in most places from their website...
  2. The second Capital Closure: (the first one was a express suspension for 1 week)
  3. Next FASTRACK: 7 Av, April 9. Northern Manhattan is a good candidate for FASTRACK, just be very careful with the Lex...I hope they don't just run the crosstown buses overnight. As for outer boroughs, Concourse is the obvious one. The others need shuttle buses galore.
  4. According to the GO, which is always more accurate than the map,
  5. © plan released, and it's relatively simple: runs local on CPW, then via the to Jay St (6 Av Express) © ends early all local to 2 Av http://advisory.mtan...ASTRACK_map.pdf Note that the number of non-FASTRACK related GO's have increased, and there is no northbound ® service in Lower Manhattan.
  6. What about turning the at 135? Wasteful, but appeasing. Hint #1 for the © FASTRACK is posted: the ends early and the notes imply that the is going to 2 Av.
  7. I rode that last PM eastbound short turn (around 18:30) every day for a couple of months—bus pulls in @ Hicksville with about 4-5 riders on board, one or two get off, then a couple get on. Especially considering that that bus was often VERY late and deadheads from Plainview to somewhere, that trip is very likely to be eliminated... The best service pattern for this area is the current service pattern. Any change will be costly both in terms of ridership/convenience and money for Veolia (since they may end up adding more buses than they remove to ensure reliability) If they MUST change, then do this: -N79 from Hempstead to RFM to Hicksville (don't extend the N43) -N49 rerouted/extended to Whitman -N78 discontinued/no alternatives -Cut N24 East Meadow midday service I would presume yes, since he was at the Community Meeting and rode the shuttle bus.
  8. N36 is low ridership, but cost wise isn't that bad. The N25 Sunday is worse than the N36 Saturday, the N50 is worse than the N36 weekday.
  9. Is it me or are the Luminators brighter and clearer on the wrapped bus than on the run of the mill 1800?
  10. As with any weekend unplanned problems, expect this to take a while. Pretty much all the work crews are at home or on GO's. And on the sounds so odd.
  11. Now meaning implement it today? It's not worth going through a whole public information campaign for one change and then doing it again. New schedules come out 3/19, less than a month from now.
  12. I don't know... You saw my empty N73 video, ridership is terrible on that route. The N74 bypasses that wasteful street section and serves Wantagh Ave and the Nassau Mall.
  13. While in general the N73/74 is not well used, the unique segments of the N73 are lesser used than the unique parts of the N74.
  14. Thanks for the pictures, I will definitely mail a letter (paper, not email!)
  15. It does. Week of 3/12, 59th-Jay. My idea: via both directions © ends early via to 34th St, ( local 34-W4.
  16. Does anyone have video footage of the community meeting?
  17. N22L will still exist but be rerouted. The N6L will be eliminated.
