Threxx Posted May 22, 2012 Share #1651 Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) LOL. You should've seen us when we were at the meeting last summer. Yeah, I totally see the resemblance.... NOT! Yes, I so believe your lies... Moving back to a random thought, since when have the B43 have 20 minute headways on Sundays?

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted May 23, 2012 Share #1652 Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) This is why I personally believe that both of you are brothers, if not, half brothers. Both of you are criticizing each other with the power of words. LOL... Yeah like checkmate said, you should've seen us at the meeting, or rather him... I still get a good chuckle every time I think about how he strutted out of the meeting with his head in the air... The transit wizard that he thinks he is...

Grand Concourse Posted May 23, 2012 Share #1654 Posted May 23, 2012 G-d damn it! Enough already! I'm sick of the 2 of you and the damn back and forth bickering. Stop spaming the pages with your pointless bantering and settle things via PM. This was not funny the first 20 times you've done this. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

checkmatechamp13 Posted May 23, 2012 Share #1657 Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) The S89 came late, but we still connected with the S46. It turned out that the S96 in front of us had a problem (at first I thought it broke down, but one of my friends on the bus and said it was because somebody felt sick and they had to take the bus out of service, which makes sense because it was an LFS and it's a shame if they're breaking down already) Anyway, our S46 was pretty full, so we all groaned at the thought of another busload of people piling in on top of us. The B/O just passed the crowd of people (which was smaller than I thought it would be, but a lot of them were students and they were only a couple of blocks from school), and one of the passengers said "Well, now they know how we feel when the bus passes up and there's space in the back". Of course, I felt bad for the passengers, but I do see where that woman was coming from. Edited May 23, 2012 by checkmatechamp13 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3 Via Av U Posted May 23, 2012 Share #1658 Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) It runs really early in the morning like between 7 - 8 AM, are you around the 49 after that time period? No. Will be next May or so if my parents allow me to walk via Ocean to Cunningham in late 6th to 8th grade.

checkmatechamp13 Posted May 23, 2012 Share #1659 Posted May 23, 2012 The S44 took me nonstop to ShopRite. B) We were keeping up with a "Not In Service" bus in front of us until we reached the ShopRite stop. Going back, I saw a dispatcher at Richmond Avenue & Monsey Place. I saw an X10 waiting there and I saw a guy leaning over the farebox and I'm thinking "What the hell is taking him so long to pay?", and then I saw his clipboard and everything. A friend and I were talking about what happened on the S46 this morning, and he said that he used to actually think that the S96 was some kind of bus for rich people. I guess with that big "Limited" sign, it looked like some kind of special bus. I guess it's kind of like the express bus: It didn't use a typical bus model or have typical express bus signage, so I thought it was some special bus (but then again, express buses do charge more than local buses) On a side note, my brother found an expired MetroCard with $2.05 on it back in January, so I sent it over to the MTA to get the balance transferred to a newer MetroCard. I just got back the new MetroCard yesterday. It took almost 4 months to transfer $2 worth of money onto a MetroCard? No wonder all their projects take so long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDTA Posted May 24, 2012 Share #1660 Posted May 24, 2012 Got the 810 to turn around for me because I was at the wrong stop today. Put the bus 20 minutes behind. (Or should I say van), And the B/O told me that I was the only person under 60 to ever ride that route while she had been driving. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted May 24, 2012 Share #1663 Posted May 24, 2012 On a random thought, I just finished drafting my letter to mail to the MTA's discrimination department regarding the BxM18 stop at Madison & 44th st. It is hard for me to understand at this point why after all of this time and after having a dispatcher sent to investigate at the stop I still have to hail a damn bus down and almost be bypassed yet again. Either this is being done for spite, or the drivers are just this incompetent that they can't see the stop big as day in front of the office which is the real kicker. I want answers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashThunder Posted May 24, 2012 Share #1664 Posted May 24, 2012 Rode Prevost X3 express bus today for the first time. WOW, what a great experience. It was a fast ride on the X1 from Eltingville to 41st st, quiet and very nice looking car (IMO). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what really gets me is when who ever puts on the stickers puts them on, on the wrong spot or upside down...like c'mon all of the buses have them in a special location and you guys are gonna just plop them on where ever you want...just a little rant lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3 Via Av U Posted May 24, 2012 Share #1671 Posted May 24, 2012 I just realized that the last time I took the bus was in 2010! And also there was always a nice B49 operator who let me get free rides when I didn't have my student Metrocard with me on weekends or holidays in Kindergarten. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JubaionBx12+SBS Posted May 24, 2012 Share #1672 Posted May 24, 2012 What is the difference between the Not In Service and Next Bus Please signs? Someone enlighten me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmatechamp13 Posted May 25, 2012 Share #1673 Posted May 25, 2012 What is the difference between the Not In Service and Next Bus Please signs? Someone enlighten me. Next Bus Please can mean that the bus is in service, but it's not picking up any more passengers (either because it's too crowded or because of some order from the dispatcher) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lance Posted May 25, 2012 Share #1674 Posted May 25, 2012 @JW72093: Not In Service - the bus isn't in service Next Bus Please - the bus is full, wait for the next one. Either way, the bus isn't stopping for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, the bus isn't stopping for you. I've seen Next Bus Please on buses that were not in service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
