trainfan22 Posted October 17, 2020 Share #32229 Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Bus 3100 might be very late for its run as its stuck in stand still traffic S/B on the Henry Hudson Parkway. I walked the trail along side the highway from 125th to 96th and the bus was WAY ahead of me, I passed it, and when I looked back around 96th Street bus was nowhere to be found.

Future ENY OP Posted October 17, 2020 Share #32230 Posted October 17, 2020 4107 was involved in an accident on Atlantic & New York. An Audi trying to make a right plowed into the bus. Bus suffered damage to the back driver side pane. From the damage I saw it was the Audi being aggressive and trying to make the turn to New York Avenue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFlyer 230 Posted October 18, 2020 Share #32238 Posted October 18, 2020 Earlier I had accidentally dipped my card into the SBS machine for the Q44 but the Q20 came first. So I boarded and dipped my card and it said transfer. I got off at Archer/153rd street and I then get on the N4. It also said transfer which surprised me because I know there are some three legged transfers that are allowed but I didn’t know that it was possible to transfer from the Q44 to the Q20 and another route. What are some other 3 legged transfers that exist? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xcelsior Man Posted October 18, 2020 Share #32239 Posted October 18, 2020 This reminds me(going quite off topic) back in April 2019, I was paying my B46 SBS ticket in the machine. I slid my metrocard in, but the machine had froze and ate my card. So after a scary minute pushing buttons to make it work and for my card to come out , there was #7633 approached to my stop on Utica/Flatlands Ave and the machine spits the card out(as if it vomited) to the floor. What caused this machine to be like this ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However later on I dipped it on a local bus and the card worked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to realize that these machines are OLD and see heavy use. The does not believe in getting rid of them, and they will use them until they don't work anymore. Same is true of the fareboxes. I once boarded a brand new bus with a brand new Metrocard with an old farebox, which proceeded to give me an error message, forcing me to have replace a card that I literally just started using, as it could not be read at all.

What are some other 3 legged transfers that exist? For the SIM network you can take a local bus SIM route - Downtown subway station or Midtown local bus route (only certain ones). Heading out, you can take local bus/subway - SIM route - local bus. For the S79 you can take S59/78 - S79 - local bus/subway in Bay Ridge. You can take a local bus - SIR - ferry - subway/local bus in Lower Manhattan (I believe anything below Fulton Street). Coming home, the Staten Island local bus has to be one which crosses the SIR south of the SIE (so between Grasmere and Tottenville) The Q20/Q44 3-legged transfer is probably because the Q44 is SBS (similar to the situation on the S79). Not sure if it applies to all SBS routes, though. I believe there is a 3-legged transfer involving the B6 but I am not sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never liked pre-recorded announcements on transit vehicles, but the Rosie Perez and Akwafina announcements were torture.
