Grand Concourse Posted July 30, 2012 Share #2181 Posted July 30, 2012 Forgot about it till now. The old bus shelter on the s/b side of Utica and Flatbush [just behind the Walgreens building] was torn down this week. I saw it on Wed all cleared. I figured, good since hardly anyone used that stop anyway. Yesterday I passed by the same area and saw they installed one of the new bus shelters there. I'm thinking, WTF? what a waste of a shelter for a stop that was hardly ever used. If anything I can think of at least a few n/b B46 stops that could've used that shelter. DOT and MTA: where the hell is the coordination? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acela Express Posted July 30, 2012 Share #2182 Posted July 30, 2012 9 times out of 10 there's no one getting on at Flatbush & Utica stop, but there's times where I actually picked up there (less than 5%) and I'm sitting here thinking to myself, "why the f**k are you getting on here?"... They have the B9, B41 & Q35 stop right across the street, but standing there faithfully for the B46. Mind you, I saw about 3 buses pass on Flatbush Avenue heading towards KP too. That stop is primarily used for drop-offs only though. But whatever -- lazy bastards. lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3 Via Av U Posted July 30, 2012 Share #2183 Posted July 30, 2012 Why, why does the 8:12 B3 run to Harway Avenue have to be an RTS? I hate that! Somebody give me an LFS run! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If u don't want a RTS, just take the run before or after, I doubt they will put 2 RTS's in a row on the B3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why they would build a new shelter there makes no sense at all. Even using it for a bike rack like they do in Manhattan makes more sense.

I'm like, why even bother replacing the glass if virtually no one uses this stop.....

The only other stop that should exist south of fillmore, should be that stop by the waldbaums.....

I've seen all sorts of bills held up to see if it is fake. I went to the laundry a few weeks ago and was given a $5.00 bill for change amongother bills for a $20.00 and I couldn't get the damn money to work in the machine. It was one of the older $5.00 bills so I gave it back to the lady and told her in Spanish that didn't work. She automatically took the bill and held it up to ensure that it was real before giving me a newer $5.00 bill. lol I said to myself, go on ahead and hold it up because if is a fake you're giving me a real one.

NewFlyer 230 Posted July 30, 2012 Share #2192 Posted July 30, 2012 Well people really want those old black bus stops gone. On the Q25 and Q34 bus stop someone broke the glass at the shelter at Kissena Blvd and Queens College. Are all the stops that had shelters going to be replace or is it a certin amount being replace because I seen the Q58 old shelter before Flushing have leaking problems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why counterfeit one of those when you can counterfeit a 50 for similar money/effort? $50 bills are harder to counterfeit. They are harder because they are worth more money. The Manhattan Bus map does not work for me. I use chrome. The 's PDF might not support Adobe Reader in chrome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted July 31, 2012 Share #2199 Posted July 31, 2012 Not to get ot, but recently someone counterfeited a $100 using a bleached $5. So if someone wants to scam the system, they will find a way to do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Via Garibaldi 8 Posted July 31, 2012 Share #2200 Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) What I don't get is when people hold up 1's, 5's, and those low amounts. Why counterfeit one of those when you can counterfeit a 50 for similar money/effort? The smaller the bill the less suspicion is usually given, so if someone was trying to pass off counterfeits they could go around with the small amounts and make small purchases and get the change (real bills from it). It has happened in the past where individuals were circulating counterfeits ($50s or $100s I believe) and they were really good at it, so good that the bills passed the usual "inspections" if you may and they flooded the system with the fake bills which can create serious problems for a country's currency. I don't know if it is happened here on a large scale before, but I do know that it happened in Canada some years ago, and for a small business of course if you get hit with the right amount it can be a big deal, so I would be checking too, because you are left with the loss if it is money. Funny thing is the credit cards are really the next big thing. The crooks use the same tactic. Start charging small amounts which most clueless customers don't even notice since they don't check their accounts/statements regularly (I check mine daily) and so before they know it they go for the kill and wipe them out. Usually the banks take care of it so long as it is reported within a certain amount of time. Happened to an ex co-worker of mine. Someone wiped out her savings account when she went to put in for a mortgage w/Chase. Pretty scary to say the least.
