Logan School Bus out of Ozone Park.

 

 

Speaking of which, you wouldn't know who got the operating contract for RailLink, would you? I can't find any info on it.

Since you two are chatting about it, here's an article about it in our local newspaper... The Riverdale Press:

Because i paid my fare like everyone else, its still a part of the Bronx and NYC, I could go wherever i want

 

...no law saying I'm not allowed in Riverdale

I know that (should've been more specific, I'm sorry if you took it the wrong way), but I was trying to convey it as a "joke".

lol... There is actually... You're not allowed in Fieldston (a subsection of Riverdale) when the streets are closed to the public which they've been doing more of of late... Too many outsiders and traffic... Residents and their guests only, as that is a private community... Heck if I had a family I'd move there since I'm a short walk from there, but I'm not up for a house and don't need that much space.  Nevertheless nice to have some privacy away from outsiders... Too many tourists and such running up here.  I moved up here to get away from the tourists because it's isolated and up in the hills and not to have them running up here.  

 

When it was warm there were tourists even on residential streets... I had to do a double take... Germans at that... I said are they lost or something? What are they doing up here?!?

That is just like Sea Gate (where the streets are private and restricted access) and almost Forest Hills Gardens (while the streets are open to public traffic, they are privately owned - that is why the Q23 detours around it.

 

Also, for routes like the M15 (local and Select), might it cost less to, instead of keeping a bus assigned to one driver per day, have a driver take the first available bus in the layover, even if it wasn't the bus with which he started the day? The layover at the 126 Street Depot can sometimes be 5 or 6 buses deep.
