    BxM routes are running on a Saturday schedule on Black Friday this year.

    Found it. So they took the n2/n8/n81 off the table and cut the n73/74, along with the entirety of the n46. They should've cut the n58 north of USMMA, the n36/n81 on Saturdays, and the n70/72 east of Route 110, to save the n46 and a weekday N74.

    Can you link the Newsday article? NICE told me on Twitter that the n81 is not getting cut, and the site doesn't mention the n2/8.

    When I missed the last school bus in HS, I would take a 2 mile ride on the n78 (riding around the loop if schedule permitted). A lot of my friends felt bad for me.

    What time was this? There is one weekday n22a trip that goes to Hicksville, 15:40 out of 169 -> 17:08 into Hicks.

    Service expansions with the fare increase: http://sct-bus.org/assets/serviceincreases4.1.15.html S45, S61 get Sunday service, S58 adds a trip, S92 adds later service.

    Weekends of Mar 28-29; Apr 11-12, 18-19, 25-26; May 2-3 buses replace LIRR trains between Babylon and Speonk. MTA Bus buses will be used (not sure if NYCT or Bus Company)

    So a quick summary from a Newsday article a couple days ago (I don't think it was posted here): Budget shortfall: $5.5 million No fare hike: -$800,000 MetroCard hike: +$600,000 All fare hike: $2 million So the fare hike that was just approved fills only 11% of the budget shortfall. Not sure what level of service cuts amount to $4.9 million...the 2012 budget shortfall was around $7.3 million but the service cuts were only part of closing that.
  10. Amtrak7
    So not cash payers? That leaves a large budget hole if Newsday is right, so we might see service cuts...

    New interlining charts: (I skipped the November schedule change because NICE's GTFS was incomplete, missing the n2/n8 among others) Weekday Saturday Sunday I might do a layover calculation later.

    There are two complete weekend Lenox shutdowns coming in early February. Hmm...

    1/18 schedule change...http://nicebus.com/Passenger-Information/Schedule-Changes.aspx Lots of added service on the N4 and N40/41, also a couple extra Saturday AM e/b N20's. N57 now interlines w/ N20, but there's no indication on the schedule as to which trips link to which. N48/49 service north of Broadway Mall is significantly reduced, midday service eliminated, and what remains is now a shuttle to Hicksville. N79 loses its midday clockface schedule.

    First FASTRACK of 2015, the first two full weeks of the year: between 125 and Hunts Point. runs to 149 St, with a bus bridge.
  15. Amtrak7
    Ties and surfacing. And before you ask, no I have no idea why it wasn't done during all those dormant weekends over the past few years.
  16. Amtrak7
    Similar, but if memory serves me correctly, it was just 12:01 Thanksgiving through 5am Monday, not a week.

    The LIRR rule on quiet cars is: westernmost car, peak trains only, Brooklyn/Penn trains only, electric trains only. Although I once had a crew announce that the last car was the quiet car on #564, the PM Oyster Bay DM.
  19. Amtrak7
    Updated tables for Jun 2014...note that the n88 and n87 are interlined independently, with a one way supposedly taking no longer than 30min/1hr, respectively. Weekday Saturday Sunday
  20. Amtrak7
    A new blue n22 schedule is in the Hicksville racks. Not sure as to the changes.
  21. Amtrak7
    The n87 via Freeport doesn't add any additional service, in fact, it REPLACES n88 trips. Very bad idea. http://nicebus.com/Maps-Schedules/Jones-Beach-Summer-Service.aspx
  22. Amtrak7
    Same time as the outages...buses replace trains between Marcy Ave and Broadway Junction/Myrtle Ave. Weekend of May 9: No Rockaway-Lefferts, southbound express 80 St-Aqueduct.
  23. Amtrak7
    Weekends of May 2 and 9: Franklin Av Junction outages: busing Flatbush-Franklin, line suspended with buses south of Franklin and to 148. During the 74 St suspensions LIRR will cross honor, but only Woodside-Penn, not Flushing.
  24. Amtrak7
    I watched PinePower's video-one thing that he left off the description above was that "no photography" signs have been posted along the perimeter of Mitchel Field.
  25. Amtrak7
    How can the terminate at 96 St today, yet need to be extended to 148 St during the FASTRACK version of this outage? Where are they relaying today?
