N6 Limited

New PANYNJ Bus Terminal Replacement plans

There seems to be two AM n6 trips (7:18 & 7:54) to USB arena, which appear to enable interlining with two n1 trips (7:55 & 8:32) to Hewlett. https://www.nicebus.com/Tools/Maps-and-Schedules/Line?route=n6 https://www.nicebus.com/Tools/Maps-and-Schedules/Line?route=n1

I used combo ticket this past weekend, the transfer between LIRR and MNRR isn’t as bad as many people made it seem. (You dont have to go all the way to the south end to exit.) However, the combo origin/destination trips in TrainTime didn’t show the MN track info. I had missed the GC train by 15 seconds in Jamaica. I had to look up the MNRR trip individually, get the track number, position myself on the next LIRR train to GC to exit to the appropriate escalators which connected to the stairs corresponding to the range of MNRR tracks that my train was leaving from (thanks new MTA App offline maps!). And I was still able to connect to the originally planned MN train with a min or two to spare. But other than that, it’s not a long trek to the south end of GCM to connect to MN when there are other connections at 47th (tracks 11-42) and 45th(tracks 102-114) streets.

Not sure why they took it away, all they had to do was limit it to signed in accounts.

I agree, it’s odd that they’d choose the first stop. When I used the N15 in LIB days, many were riding to One Old Country Rd in Nurse attire, and Clinton/Glen Cove Rds for the shopping Centers, if not East Gate Blvd. Anyone going to Roosevelt Field preferred the more direct N35. If there are trip generators in the area again, they may need to revert the old N15 routing at all times. The last southbound N15 was about 10PM and Glen Cove Rd stop would be busy, many waiting for the N15 to Hempstead/Long Beach and N22 to Jamaica ( Some for N24). Yeah it’s odd. I saw one of those trips one morning to “UBS Arena.” Maybe it’s interlined with the southbound n1, since AM n1 trips go to Jamaica? Yes, after 9pm the n6 is on 20 min headway and I’d always see Hempstead bound riders flagged after 179th st ( and sometimes at 179th st! Though, it was typically Francis Lewis & Hillside, Francis Lewis & Jamaica, and Springfield Blvd.) Being perpetually flagged at 20 min headway must be frustrating. I’d say they should probably run artics for those runs now that they have them.

How about using the ROW to extend the IBX from Brooklyn? Or, if keeping the BRT, extending IBX to St. George to connect to BRT services?

Will the T run this weekend?

And sometimes holding doors.

An allowance and serious consideration for an extension.

NJT interstate buses incur tolls and platform fees to operate between NY and NJ. That cost has to be allocated. Does the PANYNJ give discounts to NJT?

Rinaldi mentioned in a GCM One Year Anniversary press conference that 80k Combo Tickets have been sold.

Interesting note from press event, 80k combo tickets were sold.

They had clean fuel stickers as well, they have clean fuel diesels?
