Luis1985 Posted December 4, 2009 Share #26 Posted December 4, 2009 Try the stop near the , i'm not sure if they stop by the tramway anymore because of the construction across the street. - A yup...i can definitely do that. Or, if by any chance the runs on the lines again, ill just take the to Queens Plaza, or the to Queensboro Plaza, transfer to the Q102 bus and have it take me into the Island and get off at the Roosevelt Island station. So far its running via 63 St in both directions, lets hope they dont do any last minute changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAA89 Posted December 5, 2009 Share #31 Posted December 5, 2009 Wow 25 cents thats nice and 10 cent for the others.. Man i bet hardly anyone whos staying in the Island use the Q102 since its 1.10-2.25 ! The Q102 runs only once every 30 minutes (20 minutes during rush hours), and each bus alternates between starting/finishing at either the Coler or the Goldwater Hospital, so the effective headway for either terminal is 40 minutes or an hour. I doubt too many use the bus to get to Queens with such long headways. However, the red RIOC buses are only for intra-island transport, so to get to Manhattan proper (Roosevelt Island is considered part of Manhattan) or Queens, one has to take either the Q102, the or the tramway, and they all cost $2.25.

DaimlerBuses Posted April 21, 2010 Share #32 Posted April 21, 2010 The RIOC has purchased former DBNA Orion VII NG Hybrid demonstrator 1294A. Some of you may recall this bus was used around New York in 2007 for demonstration purposes. It has since been retrofitted with a Lithium-Ion battery and has been undergoing some work at the Mississauga plant to bring it up to RIOC specifications (mainly a paint job). Here's a shot I snapped of it the other day: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
