jacsnyy Posted July 18, 2010 Share #2 Posted July 18, 2010 Lol. I feel like this is the declaration of an area of study. I'll take a major in routes (with a specialization in Brooklyn) with a minor in depots and fleet, please? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B35 via Church Posted July 18, 2010 Share #4 Posted July 18, 2010 I never claim to know more than anyone else in our transit community, so I don't consider myself a "specialist"... If people read & gain info/insight from my posts, that's fine.... Bear in mind that I also take in, a LOT of what other members post on here... that said: lemme answer your post this way... - low indicates I don't focus, or care much about it - moderate indicates some days I'll focus on that aspect, and some days I don't even think twice about it... - high indicates that's what I spend most of my learning/noticing/focus on, regarding transit, etc.... fair enough? well, as far as these categories are concerned..... *Maps - high *Schedules high *History - moderate *Depots - moderate *Operations - moderate *Routes - high *Bus Types Used In New York City (current and/or retired) - low ^^ I know you only asked about MTA Regional, but this also applies to LIB, SCT, Bee Line, and TOR (rockland) I try to be as well-rounded as I can, for as much time as I can allot to this hobby/interest...

LRG Posted July 18, 2010 Share #6 Posted July 18, 2010 *Maps: Have several bus maps, but most aren't even that old.... *Schedules: Have some but they don't compare to the amount of subway schedules I have. *History: Barely. *Depots: I know all the names of the bus depots, including MTA Bus and Long Island Bus. *Operations: Barely. *Routes: Somewhat. *Bus Types Used In New York City (current and/or retired): A LOT *Other?: Meh...depends.

SoSpectacular Posted July 18, 2010 Share #9 Posted July 18, 2010 I'm very familiar with bus models and I like to collect the bus maps, right now I'm working on getting a LIB map. I could tell you about some of Queens' bus routes if you asked me I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamousNYLover Posted July 19, 2010 Share #11 Posted July 19, 2010 I'm very familiar with bus models and I like to collect the bus maps, right now I'm working on getting a LIB map. I could tell you about some of Queens' bus routes if you asked me I guess. I have six LIB Bus Maps. I hope Nassau County wasn't lazy to fix Long Island Bus Map, because tourists will be very confuse with service change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
