Via Garibaldi 8 Posted December 9, 2014 Share #13727 Posted December 9, 2014 Well, I had a job interview at nearby Broad St, so I just popped inside... Aren't you lucky... I just threw on the old rain boots, an Italian sportshirt and a pair of pants and my Canadian parka. This is not weather to be well dressed in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFlyer 230 Posted December 9, 2014 Share #13730 Posted December 9, 2014 Public transportations screws me up again. It's been raining a lot lately and on top of that its cold. Why the hell does it always take the bus 45 minutes to a hour to come all the time during rush hour the 3:00 hour. So this happened three times where I would come home from school and have to wait 45 minutes just for a Q17 or Q88 to show up. Just unbelievable because it happens all the time even when it's not raining or snowing. It's ashame during rush hour when buses are suppose to run the most frequent they don't and they run all bunched up. That is probably one of the reasons why the wants to always to raise the fare because people ultimately ditch public transportation and car pool and find other methods of transportation. The MTA is just horrible when it comes to having reliable bus that actually shows up on or close to time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt ridership is dropping in the city, those bus routes are probably late because of traffic. Never heard of the TA raising fares cause there loosing ridership.... all of the modes of transport part of the MTA is well used and highest in the country except for maybe B & T. As long as traffic will be an issue I don't think there's much the TA can do to stop buses from bunching sadly... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure they can and that's the problem. They are using traffic as if they are completely helpless from improving bus service which is total BS, as there have been several discussions about this topic in other threads. I also think they are still doing that underhanded practice of not replacing drivers that call out sick. Yesterday there were two buses that were MIA. My BxM2 NEVER came in the morning, and I waited over 30 minutes for the next bus (this was during rush hour). The evening rush was the same crap. No BxM4 came and I had to schlepp over to Metro-North to get up to Westchester. Edited December 10, 2014 by Via Garibaldi 8 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted December 10, 2014 Share #13733 Posted December 10, 2014 I rode a Bx4 Orion 5 gen today for the first time, and I'll say this much: It dosen't need artics, but artics would help it out with the crowds it gets at Southern Boulevard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MTA is just horrible when it comes to having reliable bus that actually shows up on or close to time. Whenever it rain or snow, the buses do not come on time. Its like that everytime. I was in Manhattan today, at 62 st., waiting for the M20 to Lower Manhattan, I had to wait 30 minutes for the next one. I was not really in the rush to go anywhere. I mean I could of taken the M5 Limited since it was running great today or walk down toward 59 st Columbus Circle and take the . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When buses don't show up for 20+ minutes during rush hour every day all the time come on then there is a problem. That is when I think bus driver do whatever they want and purposely run late. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for a fact that some guys stay back and come late because there have been times when there is no traffic and the guy is still late and always roughly about the same time, no matter what time I catch him. Not a coincidence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northbound the BxM1 has been the most reliable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
