During rush hours (and other times as well) buses can really crawl on 125th to the point where you can outwalk the bus. So I do agree that shortening the route is good to improve reliability. However I do think that there should at least be a little bit of an overlap whether that means the M125 is extended a little ways up 3rd Ave or perhaps the Bx15 is extended down from The Hub to Lexington Ave and 125th street. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they gonna separate the bx15 give people better options extend it to 138st or 125 & second Ave. 125st is a major hub so of course it’s gonna be a traffic jam, enforce the bus lanes and add bus lanes to the wills Ave bridge 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the SIM23/24 operated by academy You have to use some common sense, it's really crazy how many idiots there are in this city with this whole OMNY thing. About the first part, when they said OMNY is available on ALL STATEN ISLAND BUSES, that means Staten Island routes. If a Staten Island bus is in another borough doing a shuttle, it's NOT gonna work. Its synced through the farebox. If the bus is Not in Service, the OMNY reader goes RED. If a Staten Island bus with the OMNY gets transferred to another borough, its NOT gonna work because its not synced with a Staten Island route. Now for your second question, NO, OMNY is not working for the Academy SIM23/SIM24 buses, and idk why, but probably not a part of the contract. Now I'm just speaking in general because I was gonna say something later. It's like pple love to bitch about shit, especially in NYC, but when change comes its a problem...OMNY when its FULLY rolled out will be MUCH MORE EFFICIENT for everyone, but people think "oh what if I don't wanna use a phone", etc, etc, OMG SHUT UP AND READ. When it's all said and done, everything there is now with the MetroCard, will be here with OMNY when fully implemented. Now, with OMNY, it'll be MORE CONVENIENT, for anyone who uses technology, to not have to physically refill MetroCards up. You'll be able to by a new OMNY card (basically an upgraded MetroCard), and will be able to fill it up with CASH, COINS, DEBIT/CREDIT, whatever you want. You'll be able to order unlimited OMNY cards, half fare cards, students will have FULL FARE STUDENT OMNY cards. Yall New Yorkers really gotta stop being so stupid. Everyone is so quick to bash the MTA for shit when its the pple who f**k it up 90% of the time. But anyways I'm done explaining, I'm looking forward to OMNY being implemented fully, so that I'll never have to go physically fill my card up as I'll have the option of filling it up with my debit card. Why do yall think OMNY first rolled out on all Staten Island buses? Because there's only THREE places to fill up a Metrocard out here, and this is supposed to be a test trial to "help us pay easier", to avoid having to travel across the island to fill a card up when the machines might not even work.

In my first meeting with the , we discussed OMNY, and I actually praised them because I understand what a game changer this can be if done right. The only thing I would caution against is that even the admitted that they are rolling this out cautiously to ensure that there aren't security issues, but that is really the main question. That and can it handle heavy usage. Those two things remain to be seen, so I wouldn't go praising them just yet. That said, their app based options for Metro-North and the LIRR have been excellent. I use them all of the time for tickets. Very secure, fast and convenient. I buy tickets right at home on my phone or iPad and then check for my track number and BOOM, I'm on my train. So much easier and less stressful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much easier and less stressful. Right thats the thing, security issues. I'm pretty sure it can handle heavy usage as its used all around the world in big cities. And yes I use MTA eTix for the LIRR and its amazing, you don't understand how many times I've bought tickets last min and ran to catch trains. I'll NEVER go physically buy a ticket ever again (unless my phone dies before I board the train, but I would NEVER let that happen). I have good faith with OMNY, I really want this to work out smoothly because I hate waiting for people to fill MetroCards up and having to hassle around the island to refill my card. To be safe, I have my debit card attached to my iPhone wallet, and I made my Apple Pay card activated with the Express Transit Card option. So I'll transfer money from my debit card to my apple pay card, and I'll use this option until the OMNY card comes out. (No it doesn't take from my debit card as well, because I need to enter my passcode every time I make a payment). I just have to make sure I keep my phone away from the reader on a crowded bus because it might scan again (it will scan if your phones screen is wake/sleep or unlocked/locked, as long as its physically powered ON). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every 8 minutes starting Saturday I wouldn't be surprised if the B91A is cut down the road. People, over there are probably taking Uber or the train. I just realized that this B91A is basically a short turn of the B62. If anything, it would be more beneficial to increase B62 service from Marcy Ave to LIC by adding some B62 short turns and then increasing B32 service and call it a day. Instead of making the B91A.
