NX Express Posted June 8, 2010 Share #1 Posted June 8, 2010 Is there a place where bus schedules are displayed for taking (i.e. without having to ask somebody for them)? I'm trying to get the schedules of the routes that are disappearing, and asking a person for ~40 schedules would look a bit unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bveguy Posted June 8, 2010 Share #2 Posted June 8, 2010 Well, there's the Elingtonville Transit Center (if I spelled that correctly) in Staten Island where timetables are displayed for you to take. Otherwise, some buses may have timetables for you to take based out of the depot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East New York Posted June 8, 2010 Share #4 Posted June 8, 2010 I know The MTA HQ Downtown Brooklyn used to carry most of them, if not all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted June 8, 2010 Share #5 Posted June 8, 2010 I still can't believe one building can have 299 schedules, but I will try. Between 3 Stone and the Jay St HQ I should be able to get all of them. Either of those places have weekend hours??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S78 via Hylan Posted June 8, 2010 Share #6 Posted June 8, 2010 :mad:If only I had the time to go there... I would. Are all the schedules there, or just the SI ones? Just Staten Island buses, but it has maps of all 5 boroughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been there in like 3 years though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which place do you mean? 3 Stone or 370 Jay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does have some schedules for express routes that do not stop there like the X10 and X11. And Again it has bus maps of all the boroughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted June 8, 2010 Share #11 Posted June 8, 2010 I just realized the MTA has more than one big office in Brooklyn. Which are you referring to? If you count every route affected by service cuts, there are really around 110 schedules involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frequencies are being reduced everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted June 8, 2010 Share #15 Posted June 8, 2010 2 Broadway. It's on Stone Street, I think. Two doors from Chipotle. It has maps and schedules. That's were folks go if they have questions with their Metrocards. I used to go there when I had some time on my hands. Take the or to Whitehall and go to the north motor exit. It should point towards Stone Street. One of the exits put you 25 feet from the building. There should be an MTA sign above the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, I think the best bet is, go up to them or call them and ask them to mail you a bunch of schedules. After all, ordinary transitfans mean no harm.

Amtrak7 Posted June 8, 2010 Share #19 Posted June 8, 2010 But whatever you do, don't be suspicious or act like a foamer taking like 100 timetables there. That's why I divided the list of timetables by severity (discontinuations first, overnights last) so that I can get in rounds and go to the nearby plaza to tabulate. Is the lobby only open during the MetroCard office's business hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This lady named Mrs. Johnson picked up... I asked for timetables. One year later, I still didn't get them. Maybe I should call her again and tell her that they're a year late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
