Amen to that.

In their world, 1+1 doesn't equal 2, it equals 0. Narrow-minded, petty bureaucratic idiots. 21 hours ago, Future ENY OP said: One of the best OG shows. The year I wanted to intern for Transit Transit production ended. Would of been a good foot into NYCT and it’s production team. I feel that. Especially now when a lot of the public-sector jobs list minimum qualifications, but emphasize "preferred qualifications".

Another reason to abolish the farebox. Why it gotta be the bus drivers fault? I see the farebox reject perfectly good transfers all the time. I’ve had a farebox not write data to anyone’s cards so you could dip a card with $2.75 x1000 times and it’ll be good x1000 times. If the driver had NYCT Bus or NBP up, the farebox won’t write the transfer data over. Also the announcement system does whatever it wants. It like OMNY, works off the destination signs. Farebox can be working just fine and it’s quiet back there. Anddd, please take this same energy to go submit a claim, note the bus #, so if there is a problem with the farebox, it can get fixed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got quick mad because I hate looking like I cannot afford a bus fare. I don't understand how people can just walk on without paying. I seem so broke and poor. Also, I'd NEVER take my frustration out on drivers but I'll post about it to others about to see what the issue was (like I did with this post). Can you send the link or DM me to submit a claim? I don't even bother anymore because I've done it for BusTime and other issues and seems like something like that gets washed away.

I’ve always imagined the 1 SBS to run in the middle lanes, I mean, half of the 1 Limited buses already run in the median between Fordham and Burnside. It sucks because they can really put a bus stop before the tunnels entrance for Fordham Road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another reason to abolish the farebox. There is only one setting regarding the fare amount when logging into the fare box. Computers will glitch. I wouldn't worry about it, once the MetroCard gets phased out they're pretty much done. Other than that, you can't program a farebox wrong unless you put in the incorrect route (which most of the time won't let you based the run/route number you input) or you hit the wrong button for the fare setting (Local/Express) The announcement system is directly tied to the Clever Devices unit that manages the GPS positioning. It goes offline, bus is ghost. It needs to be reset. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's disappointing, if still true. Front line MTA employees have more direct contact with the public in closed spaces than, say, sanitation workers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, weekly mandatory testing for the unvaccinated existing employees and no new employees without the vaccine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you scroll through the past few pages you will notice (examples available upon request, although I am sure you can find them yourself) that quite a few participants in this topic engaged in what you would consider as off-topic discussions. Are you planning to lecture all of them? They've been told many times before by the mods, but they never listen. They'll tell each other to stop it, but it never does. So start bringing those conversations here, and not there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
