Joel Up Front Posted September 28, 2010 Share #1 Posted September 28, 2010 I never got why LIB transfers had four-digit route numbers on the back. On an N32 an hour ago, I asked for another transfer and when I looked on the back, the route number was 3203. What do the last two numbers mean?

Noflexdont Posted September 28, 2010 Share #2 Posted September 28, 2010 This is just a guess but 3203 32 probably stands for the route and 03 is route destination.IN NYCT odd number mean south or west while north and east are even. example 5540 would be the Q54 going to Jamaica while 5541 would be to Williamsburg bridge plaza.

Gramps Posted September 28, 2010 Share #3 Posted September 28, 2010 OO=North 01=South 02=East 03=West Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share #4 Posted September 28, 2010 That's weird, because the N32 going to Far Rockaway is a southbound route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmatechamp13 Posted September 29, 2010 Share #5 Posted September 29, 2010 But it is also west of its Nassau terminal in Hempstead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share #6 Posted October 12, 2010 I was on an N35 today and the route number on the back was 3531. Does that have anything to do with the run numbers (which LI doesn't use?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do the last two numbers mean? the last two numbers is you destination ... some have a different starting point.. or end point.. so the last two numbers will be different.. for instance the N6 0601 = jam 0603 = hempstead N24 2427 = Jam 2425 = roosevelt field 2428 = jam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Up Front Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share #9 Posted October 14, 2010 Wonder why the N24 would use 27 and 28 for Jamaica runs. One day I should just get on an N22 or 24 at Roosevelt Field and go to 165th. I don't know why. Maybe I should get a camera and record it...

Joel Up Front Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share #14 Posted October 15, 2010 what do you want to know about it? Why they started with that. I remember seeing signs and advisories for it on the LIB page in the spring, but I never knew why they even implemented it. When I'm on an N16 (and I have learned that waiting for the next N16 is sadly faster than getting on the first one I see, because it's always the same operator behind the wheel that overpacks the bus, #1, and #2, holds it at two of the busiest stops it serves for a good 5 minutes), the first thing I see when the bus drives onto that apron is a giant "N24 LAYOVER" sign.
