Amtrak7 Posted July 5, 2010 #2 Posted July 5, 2010 Nice shots! Getting around NYC with only buses is easier than getting around with only subways, in my opinion. The one BIG exception is on weekends in Midtown/Downtown with all those vague, yucky, and nasty parade/street fair detours.
Nabinut Posted July 5, 2010 Author #3 Posted July 5, 2010 Funny you mention that. 6th Avenue was closed all day Saturday with some kind of street event. The X10 ended up dropping me off on Madison
R44 CNG Posted July 5, 2010 #4 Posted July 5, 2010 Man were you all over, in Jamaica, Queens, S.I., pics :tup:
MattTrain Posted July 6, 2010 #5 Posted July 6, 2010 I like your bus shots, you must have had fun traveling with them today.
SoSpectacular Posted July 8, 2010 #7 Posted July 8, 2010 Bastard! You were in my hood! J/K! Nice shots though!
