Lil 57 Posted July 7, 2019 Share #27805 Posted July 7, 2019 Guess the decided that they don't run the SBS NG's out of Yukon on weekends. The S79 SBS is all LFS this weekend and only 1 NG (4054) touched that route last Sunday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jova42R Posted July 8, 2019 Share #27807 Posted July 8, 2019 Hi all, Soon, I will have to be commuting from northern Roosevelt Island to the Columbus Circle area.

Jova42R Posted July 8, 2019 Share #27812 Posted July 8, 2019 Today I was waiting for the M5 at 72 St/West End, had just ran to make the transfer from the M57, and the driver saw me running, I was waving the bus down, and he just breezed by the stop. We then had to wait *16 min* for the next M5. Bus #4233 M5 Northbound 72 St/West End Av 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axis Posted July 9, 2019 Share #27813 Posted July 9, 2019 Could we like, stop with the invisible Q44 buses on MTA BusTime, please? This is making my commute between Jamaica & Throggs Neck Shopping Center FORTY MINUTES LONGER THAN IT NEEDS TO BE. Context: The 8:03 PM Q44 out of Jamaica was invisible to BusTime, AND late irl. I made the mistake of boarding a Q20A, and just missed a transfer between the Q20A & the ghosting Q44 at Main/Manton. Stupid... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We then had to wait *16 min* for the next M5. Bus #4233 M5 Northbound 72 St/West End Av For you and others in a similar situation in NYC: Won't make a difference, even if your M57 operator blew the horn to alert the M5. (Our B/Os out here in the "wild" [far from the civilization known as NYC and the NE Corridor] actually pay attention to other intersecting buses when rolling up, and in Detroit, many DDOT operators know when buses are scheduled due to being Board and actually working the different runs. SMART ops? Couldn't GAF in the least or even tell you other schedules, even though most run 60 min headways. I digress ...) Running for a bus pulling off? Get in the right mirror, and *gently* smack the window ....... WHOOPS! This only really works where outside cameras are in operation, and nice backup material to a complaint can be had. Yours truly does NOT usually run for a bus and gets to stops minimum 5 minutes before scheduled (even before the "arrival" forecast via the Tracker). But in cases where a route is over the 20-minute headway mark (15 on select rotten days), I'll chase the bus if on a pull-off, and best thing is to get in the mirror. Stay up off the wheels on the pavement and you'll be fine, plus someone on board will say something and the bus will stop. OUR cameras catch everything. FACT: "Homeless"/unstable cat who murdered a Wayne State University police officer was caught/identified via a DDOT bus camera -- not ON (in) the bus, but crossing Grand River Av at 3 AM (while bus was doing regular route, he was caught by one of the outside cameras) during the time in question. [EDIT within above to clarify.] In your situation, though, I'm gonna be "callous" and say, "Sucks to be you." This is your MTA -- "Going your way", as their saying goes.

Update: Managed to transfer to a second Q44 at Main/Melbourne. Offtopic — They really need to redo the departure/arrival times, and the bus stops along Archer Avenue for the Q44 & Q114 to connect better. I always keep just missing a Q44 at Archer Avenue, no matter what Q114 I take. Edited July 9, 2019 by Axis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Valiant Posted July 10, 2019 Share #27822 Posted July 10, 2019 I truly don’t understand why some people in the chat think they’re so sure that Castleton ain’t keeping the new Novas. Maybe they will, maybe they won’t, but anything can happen and anything is subject to change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love those things I say another 2 weeks left at most. Who knows they may last throughout the whole month of July into August. Hopefully they can extend the campaign and possibly get headliners and wraps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
