Santa Fe via Willow

Winter's SUPPOSED to END in 3 WEEKS! *crosses fingers*

The ENTIRETY of Richmond Ave MUST be covered & served 24/7/365. THAT's the PROBLEM! Reinstating the overnight 59 would be an easy quickfix.

A simple solution here would be the MTA|NYCT restoring OVERNIGHT service on the 59. Overnight 59s operated between Hylan Blvd & that little park across from the Forest Ave Burger King.

cc13 said: Well, long-term, I'd prefer that HBLR extension. At least that brings you directly to the business districts in Jersey City & Hoboken (as well as the connections available to other services like PATH, etc). There isn't much in the part of Bayonne that faces Port Richmond. It's mostly residential, with a little bit of industry further east. I'd like ALL OF THE ABOVE if possible, which would be AWESOME! Imagine a nuNorth Shore SIR, the HBLR coming into SI, MORE SI/NJ local &/or LTD routes, more ferry terminals (a nuPR ferry), ALL OF THOSE THINGS (and more hopefully ).

It'd be great if it had a ferry terminal there again in the future. Be cool to see Port Richmond experience another Golden Age:) Plus a rejuvenated North Shore SIR! PR would become like Hoboken, especially mass transit & mass transit hub wise:)

Have ANY S53s, 79s, &/or (93)s EVER been dispatched out of a Brooklyn depot? I mean like an emergency situation(?).

Think they'll EVER end/begin some 44s & 59s from CSI? Going both ways. Some Mall/Hylan/Tottenville bound, others Ferry/Port Richmond bound.

CSI begins student dorms on campus next fall. How does &/or might this affect mass transit related to CSI, whether it's direct transit like the 62 or indirect transit like the 59?

Turbo19, could you tell us about the mass transit in Jurupa Valley, CA? &/or at least the bus services anyway. I'm happy posters here are trying to improve things on/in/for Staten Island mass transit wise. checkmatechamp13 is actually doing alot on that front.

Of course private bus companies (AE, Academy, etc et al) COULD supply & provide gameday buses for/to Staten Islanders. The que$tion then i$ price. A$ long a$ they didn't charge anything too ridiculou$ it MIGHT work out. AE does, or has, provided analogous bus transit for Staten Islanders to/from Great Adventure. As far as SI and NJ goes, it'd be nice if there were MORE bus routes going in between SI and NJ besides the (89). And provided by both the MTA and NJT (&/or NJT subsidees IE: Academy).

Actually, ANY route that ends in Port Richmond COULD be altered & extended over to NJ. Easier to go over the Bayonne than the Goethals Bridge, but even so, extending one (or more) of those routes over the Goethals to EWR would be a good thing, if done right. Or the reverse of course, a NJ bus route running from EWR into SI. Or BOTH! Also, such EWR bus routes COULD, maybe(?), have Gameday "isotopes" for Jet and Giant games at Met Life Stadium. But EWR access from SI via bus would be a great thing.

YEARS AGO I came up with a bus route that would go from Bay Ridge throug parts of SI and end in Bayonne. Such a NJ/SI/Bkln bus route would be really cool. And it was a LOCAL, not a LTD or anything like that, & ran all day & all night (possibly/intrinsically/implicitly 24 hours(?) ).

For $2.00, that'$ a $teal, considering what some ferry operators charge.

checkmate, excellent point about the (93). It has become more than simply a Bay Ridge/CSI transport.

How about bus services to/from that new Great Kills ferry?

Because/being it's a Bkln oriented/tailored route. It was made for the multitudes of CSIers who live in Bkln.

Alternatively, couldn't the (S93) LTD have been given a B# designation instead of S#? Be the B# instead of the (S93) LTD? Or (B#) LTD?

What about EXPRESS BUS routes operating via &/or serving Todt Hill Rd and/or Ocean Terrace and that vicinity/area/corridor? I know the prospects of ANYTHING on Todt Hill Rd (except buses NOT IN SERVICE heading to &/or from the end/start of their route) are grim to nil/0 due to the rich (& therefore influential) folk$ living up & along there.

This.

Cool. Very interesting experience you had. I used to explore mass transit like that YEARS ago now, though NOT to that degree, & not in one day. One of the coolest trips I did WAY BACK was taking the PATH from the WTC to Hoboken, when the fare was a dollar. I hung out there for a while, then came back & headed back home to SI. With Sandy, was mass transit free in areas outside NYCT and/or other MTA territories? I forget now if NJT and/or other non-NY mass transit was free & if it was, for how long? The storms has me thinking about Charleston Depot. It's a stone's throw or two from the Kill van Kull & probably just BARELY above Zone A. Plus it is high up/elevated somewhat. Even so, does anyone know if CD suffered any damages from wind? Arthur Kill Rd a short walk away from CD floods regularly in regular heavy rainstorms, so it must have been horrendously flooded by Sandy. I wonder how long CD was without power, as well as the other SI bus depots. I hope bus depots have reliable back-up power generation in/for these events, though even in something like Sandy even the back-ups may go out or not work.

Simple initial proposals: Restoration of weekend service on the S54 & 76, and overnight S59 service.

10) Other: 2 actually. Jack in the Box & DelTaco. Pity the NYC Region for having neither:mad: NYC Region fastfood I have to go with CHECKERS. 7/11`s improved ALOT recently. More hot food offerings, good stuff for good price$ But technically 7/11's NOT a fastfood place vis a vis ala Burger King & Wendy's yes?

Should it be mandated that NYCDOT make ALL (NYCT) bus stops sheltered?

Concerning this thread & Staten Island, people should read the thread SI bus ideas for 2010 & beyond.
