FamousNYLover Posted February 17, 2010 Share #7 Posted February 17, 2010 I think RIOC Bus should cross honor MetroCard Passengers who use Tram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amtrak7 Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share #9 Posted February 27, 2010 Will this mean tram renovations will be delay due to snowstorm? There is no notice on RIOC's site of any delay in shutdown. The bus fare is only $1 and they use the Red Buses, which don't have Metrocard fareboxes. Looks like we'll see the entire 9-bus fleet in full deployment to cover both Red Bus and bus duties.

Grand Concourse Posted March 2, 2010 Share #10 Posted March 2, 2010 I wonder if the D40lfs will serve the island or will it run on the shuttle? I would expect they run that NG on the shuttle as it is new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousNYLover Posted March 13, 2010 Share #11 Posted March 13, 2010 I wonder if the D40lfs will serve the island or will it run on the shuttle? I would expect they run that NG on the shuttle as it is new. I got on NG #5 on RIOC Bus tonight at 2nd Av/59th St SW corner, right next to 58th St NW Q101 Bus Stop around 19:30. It was nice ride.
