paulrivera Posted October 4, 2013 Share #9355 Posted October 4, 2013 Less and less Bx12 local drivers have been accepting the SBS receipts and have even been borderline confrontational about people coming into the buses with an SBS ticket. That's why I wait until I see which bus is coming before I swipe at the SBS machine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I wait until I see which bus is coming before I swipe at the SBS machine. What's up with that? The said it was allowed. On the M15 I've done it a few times and it hasn't been a problem. In fact they don't even check. I would write in and file a complaint because unless the says otherwise, it is still allowed. They have no reason to be confrontational about it, other than them wanting to be difficult.

paulrivera Posted October 5, 2013 Share #9357 Posted October 5, 2013 I have no idea, personally I don't do it but recently I've seen more and more B/O's outright tell people "that's no good here", "this is the wrong bus" and to "get off and wait for the SBS." In the past I'd see most B/O's would either wave you on or collect the receipt. Wasnt that way before up here, in fact I think it was actually the other way around between the M15 and the Bx12 in the past (M15=problematic, Bx12=no problems.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N6 Limited Posted October 5, 2013 Share #9358 Posted October 5, 2013 hows the M34 SBS? I'm going to Comic Con next week and usually I take the to 34th and walk. But since I'll be walking all around the convention center, I was thinking of taking the SBS over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a better chance of walking it. When there is light traffic, that 34 moves 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was curious when I saw the gas line at Castleton Think of the depot like one big gas station. A truck comes and delivers fuel to the building which is stored underground somewhere. A bus pulls up to the pump and gets filled from the tank underground. CNG I'm not so sure about 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious2train Posted October 6, 2013 Share #9365 Posted October 6, 2013 The individual branches of the M34 don't run all that often on the weekend, which is kind of disappointing for a crosstown. Unless there's a bus within sight or something, you should probably just walk. Construction of bus bulbs on 34th street is also slowing the bus down... significantly For real? It's about time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYSubwayBuff Posted October 6, 2013 Share #9367 Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) Speaking of SBS, I don't like those payment machines. I think that they should accept cash or at least credit card would be much more convenient instead or running around looking for change or to refill ur metrocard Edited October 6, 2013 by NYSubwayBuff 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted October 6, 2013 Share #9372 Posted October 6, 2013 Just asking but the Q29 and 72 using CP's C40LFs, is it permanent or that theres a specific date that it will not need to be borrowed until LGA has enough buses? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo19 Posted October 6, 2013 Share #9374 Posted October 6, 2013 CNG may as well be a foreign concept out east. Come out west on the left where we aren't paranoid of a little photography. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
