Am I the only one to realize that almost every bus thread on the other side of the board somehow has an express bus in it and it turns into this big ass debate about it?

Lol, forget politics and religion, the real 3rd rail topic here is express bus discussions.

...and where to send the R32s.

[FamousNYLover]

On Sunday April 10th, I was late home at Apple Store Computer, so after I call home at 8pm, without realizing I left my clipboard with Long Island Bus Public Hearing Poster, I walk with friend Amy, then I took RIT for shuttle bus to subway for Q102 perfect timing.

When I got on express, I realize I left my clipboard.

 

On Thursday, April 14th, since it was sunny, so I caught perfect timing at Junction Blvd to Queensboro Plaza to miss Q60, but Q32 came and took to 2nd Av for perfect timing with M15+SBS+. Lots of people were still confuse, then before 34th St, two students in wheelchairs with their assistant took off the seatbelt thing, and at 34th St, we moved aside for wheelchairs to get off, and I put seat back to normal state.

At Catherine St Station, I rushed to Family Noodle Restraunt to ask my friend if I left something, but no.

I retrace my footstep to Doyer, then some kind of Japanese store, then Chinese Market, then Florence Ice Cream Parlor.

It was not there either, so I took M15+SBS+, with one Chinese confuse, so I got off quickly and helped him, then took to 58th St Station, and walk to RIT Station, enter station and asked if I left but no, so I didn't see Q32 bus, so I walk to Apple Store, and I was lucky and I found my clipboard!!

[Y2Julio]

Yes, give lineup to a train that is on time rather than the one that is 10-15 minutes late. That's a great dispatcher move. ******* LIRR. Was supposed to have been at nassau boulevard by now yet I'm sitting here at queens village.

[Joel Up Front]

Ha, I just rode the LIRR to Penn this morning and all was well, other than my Haagen Dazs melting and getting all over my jacket on the ride home. When I got off at Lynbrook, a bright and warm spring air blew onto the platform and it felt good.

[D.J.]

I Missed

ALOT!!!

[Joel Up Front]

I do rage when I see photos of the original (and first) Penn Station in Manhattan. To think that the tracks leading to it from Queens were on an open cut once upon a time. And what it must have been like to be in such a grand structure once you climbed up the stairs. It's depressing once your train goes into the East River Tunnels and you pull into Penn Station. The platforms and tracks may have been spared (and upgraded, but still left in their original positions) but once you go up those stairs, you're in a basement. A very well-lit basement with lots of retail space, but still a giant basement that smells of burnt motors and rail dust. Well, LI will get even when ESA is finished and we get to roll right into Grand Central right by a "better-run" Metro-North.

 

Goddamn Robert Moses for ruining Long Island and turning it into typical suburbia. No wonder all the PBLs on LI went bust. Low overpasses, sharp curves? Parkways going right behind peoples' backyards? How could public transit to any attraction on the island be successful if his car-centric planning ruined all of that? He never even drove!

[Grand Concourse]

Elitist for the elites, by the elites...

[Fresh Pond]

...and where to send the R32s.

 

Send them to the scrap line so we can kill the speculation and the arguing already

[Joel Up Front]

All I can credit Moses for positively is the building of Shea Stadium (even though the Mets suck) and moving the UN to NYC. Philly might have significance in American minds, but what about globally?

:spits: Are you kidding me? That POS building is a nightmare to the city every time they have their goddamn assemblies. NYC would've been better off with that POS 'organization' moved to some other city or country.

The nerve of some of those 'diplomat' POS taking advantage of the city in its amenities and parking spaces. How dare they get to park whereever they feel like just because they came elsewhere. The hell with the UN and the leeches they are [sucks up ~22% of its funding from the US].

 

Also what's up with the f'ed up 1 nation=1 vote thing? You got tiny little African/Mid east nations [that combined have the representation of some of our states] and they get to have the same voting power as the US? Hell no! It should be based on who pays the most to fund that POS organization.

end of rant.

[Grand Concourse]

Man, people are getting more and more uptight where I'm at, So far it's women.

 

I pass by their homes while walking my dog and they [3 so far to this date] yell at me that I don't have a bag or whatever to pick up the poop. [ftr, I always have a few bags on me. So it isn't my problem.] I get they don't want ppl to leave it in front of their yards, but one of these days they will yell at the wrong person and end up hurt. [i'll leave it at that.]

I seriously would've just punched this one person right there the way she was yelling at me from her car as she was pulling in. She still bitched on about it even after I showed her the bags.

 

My solution is for them to install cameras outside their homes and send it to the NYPD if they are so uptight about it. Goddam those ppl yelling first and thinking 2nd. Those are the kind of people I hope harm comes to them. Myob [if nothing happened] and let things be.
