Kingsbridge Bus Posted December 19, 2009 Share #2 Posted December 19, 2009 I say one is just as important as another. People use the train to travel long distances across the city & most people use buses from the subway station to take them closer to home or across their borough:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNIGHTRIDER3:16 Posted December 19, 2009 Share #3 Posted December 19, 2009 I drive MCI everyday and this Bus Operator loves (T)he (S)ubway all the way :tup:<R> There's nothing like the smell of going into A certain train car or feeling the wind comming out from the tunnel . NYC Trains all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Louis Car 09 Posted December 19, 2009 Share #4 Posted December 19, 2009 Very vague question.It all depends on whats more convient, like buses can cover more areas and neighborhoods but trains can travel long distances faster. its all a matter of preference.

ciboii22 Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted December 19, 2009 noo crap lol . i think buses are better but 50% trains because they get you there just a little bit faster . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoSpectacular Posted December 19, 2009 Share #6 Posted December 19, 2009 The subway is best for covering long distances in a short amount of time, especially express trains! The buses are more of a vehicle for as mentioned above, a short distance or staying within the borough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTrain Posted December 19, 2009 Share #7 Posted December 19, 2009 For some strange reason this year, I'm getting to my destination faster by bus rather than subway, in Brooklyn and Manhattan. I tried riding parallel bus routes along the and I'm there like five minutes faster. I like them both though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenEleven Posted December 19, 2009 Share #8 Posted December 19, 2009 I've been more of a person who likes trains, but for this bit of time, I've been a total bus head. If I had the option to take a bus ride home from another borough to my house as opposed to the subway, I would take it. With the newer generation of buses taking over, the new bus smell isn't going to be the only thing I like over trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bus travel probably seems a little faster due to sooo many train delays,especially from 12-9's( unauthorized personel on the tracks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRG Posted December 19, 2009 Share #13 Posted December 19, 2009 Both have their ups and downs. I'm more of the railfan than the busfan, but I won't mind going to and fro on buses every once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can either be alive or dead (the 137th Street incident in 2007) and it can happen to unauthorized or authorized personnel. Just a heads up.

ciboii22 Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share #15 Posted December 19, 2009 lol . i take the umm Q line everyday . its about 15 mins from coneyisland to sheepshead bay . by bus its about 35-45 mins . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The takes 8 minutes from Coney Island to Sheepshead Bay. I rode the B36 bus going from Coney Island to Sheepshead Bay in the summer, and I get to Sheepshead Bay about the same amount of time, (maybe because the bus didn't pick up too many passengers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RokuSix Posted December 19, 2009 Share #17 Posted December 19, 2009 Neither is better. Each one is useful in its own way. For example, a train can get me to a place that a bus cannot. Or, a bus can get me somewhere that a train cannot. It doesn't really matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoSpectacular Posted December 19, 2009 Share #18 Posted December 19, 2009 I'd never travel the length of Manhattan on a bus. That's where my , and trains come in. Express all the way down! In Queens there isn't much subway love so we have to rely on our buses to get places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciboii22 Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share #19 Posted December 19, 2009 yes your right . trains and buses are useful one way or another . buses might be down one day and you have that train right there or the trains cant run so you have a bus here . and by the way the N train is running manhattan bound on the D line .

B35 via Church Posted December 19, 2009 Share #20 Posted December 19, 2009 lol . i take the umm Q line everyday . its about 15 mins from coneyisland to kings highway fixed the statement for ya, champ. The takes 8 minutes from Coney Island to Sheepshead Bay. I rode the B36 bus going from Coney Island to Sheepshead Bay in the summer, and I get to Sheepshead Bay about the same amount of time, (maybe because the bus didn't pick up too many passengers) Depending on where you take/took it from CI to SHeepshead, yeh, maybe I could see that happening.... me, I've never been on a B36 that took 8 mins to get from Surf/Stillwell (in my case) to Sheepshead.... driver you had must've been leadfooting it the whole way through.... When I would go to Nathan's on the regular, after work... I'd take the B36... around 8pm, I would always catch the same driver... dude kinda looks like John Madden... nice guy, but he would crawl the hell out of that bus.... I take it to get to Nostrand av... and that normally took a 1/2 hour.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacsnyy Posted December 19, 2009 Share #21 Posted December 19, 2009 I've become more of a bus fan over the years, but I'd definitely prefer to live in an area surrounded by subways than an area that is only served by buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciboii22 Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share #22 Posted December 19, 2009 oh i see . im sorrounded by both but i love them both . it doesnt make a diffrence as long as you get to where you have to go . buses are a little bit of problems by getting stuck in traffic or the crazy people or the wheel chairs witch drive me crazy because it takes up everybodys time on the bus . but its apart of life .

Infamous85 Posted December 20, 2009 Share #24 Posted December 20, 2009 I like trains but I like buses better, I've always ridden NYCB, Jamaica Bus (now part of MTAB), NJT, LIB, WMATA, Greyhound/Peter Pan, Carl Beiber, Disney, Queens Surface (now part of MTAB) so I've been exposed to buses more than trains. The only trains I've ridden were LIRR, WMATA, NYC Subway, & Disney. When I lived in Silver Spring, MD I liked trains better (WMATA is fire lol), Glenmont was my station (2 stops past Forest Glen [i just realized there's someone named Forest Glen on NYCTF]) it looked so high tech compared to what I was used to at Jamaica Center. I haven't used the subway in years (it's slow and far), it was always those old R32s lol. The LIRR is faster and closer so that's what I take when I go to Manhattan. My commute is the Q85/Q111/Q113 & Q44, all buses. So it's buses for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
