B35 via Church Posted June 7, 2016 Share #17901 Posted June 7, 2016 There were are few standees, and all the seats were taken. Then you were very lucky.... A peaceful ride on that route is hardly the norm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted June 7, 2016 Share #17902 Posted June 7, 2016 I don't know if this is true but I've heard that the B46 SBS date is pushed back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future ENY OP Posted June 7, 2016 Share #17903 Posted June 7, 2016 I don't know if this is true but I've heard that the B46 SBS date is pushed back Yes. First week of July for summer pick. I read that today and tomorrow they are picking for SBS46+ and regular picks for Summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted June 7, 2016 Share #17904 Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) Am I lucky if I say that I took the M35 one time to not pay the express fare the X80, and didn't witness any issues on the bus? That happened last summer when I got on the M35 to the station, majority of passengers paid a quarter or a penny to get on Edited June 7, 2016 by CH3348 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S78 via Hylan Posted June 7, 2016 Share #17905 Posted June 7, 2016 I rode 5174 on the B46 to Kings Plaza. Very good sounding bus especially with the HVAC on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R188 7857 Posted June 10, 2016 Share #17906 Posted June 10, 2016 I had quite an unpleasant ride on 5922. The A/C wasn't on (first thing I said to myself when all the windows were open) and the lights weren't on either. Wonder what's up with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainmaster5 Posted June 11, 2016 Share #17907 Posted June 11, 2016 So I'm playing around with Bustime a few hours ago and I decided to track the Q24 and Q56 routes for fun. Something started bugging me with the Q24 but I couldn't put my hands on it. I run a few errands and go back to Bustime again on my tablet. I think I found the cause of my confusion. Where does this route terminate in Brooklyn? I've always thought it was at Lafayette Avenue. Bustime shows an abbreviation of Lafayette Street. which I'm unfamiliar with over there. Someone help me out here. What are the buses signed up for as to the destination? Just curious. Carry on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNewYorkElevated Posted June 11, 2016 Share #17909 Posted June 11, 2016 I have a curious question. Are there other bus routes like the X80? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyer 230 Posted June 11, 2016 Share #17910 Posted June 11, 2016 I have a curious question. Are there other bus routes like the X80? There was the X81 which ran from Woodside LIRR station to Randall's Island via the Grand Central Parkway and Triboro RFK Bridge. It hasn't ran for a while so it's most likely gone and if I'm not mistaken LGA depot ran the route. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Train92 Posted June 12, 2016 Share #17914 Posted June 12, 2016 Today was a funny day for me on the Bx3... So today my little brother had practice for his baseball team. To get there I have to take the to Bailey Place, When we get to the bus station, #4396 literally PASSED me right when I got to the station. Luckily #8376 was right behind it, so we took it there. Later, the SAME thing happened! #4348's driver saw me WAVE to him, and passed me & my brother. Then again an LFS came to the rescue. #8369 took me home after that. LOL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B22viaAtlanticAv Posted June 12, 2016 Share #17919 Posted June 12, 2016 That's how you know you on a ENY route they all bunch in pairs with long wait times in between. My favorite one is B15 known offender of this practice 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably why the B/Os passed you: They saw another bus was directly behind them, and they saw no point in delaying their own passengers to pick you up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But most of Grand Avenue routes are like this. Sometimes it bothers me to why have a 6th depot in the Brooklyn Division and they can't keep up with the scheduling. The other 5 depots do very well when it tackles the problem of bus bunching. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pranavbhat924 Posted June 12, 2016 Share #17923 Posted June 12, 2016 The Q46 bus needs SBS Treatment. Also, I saw 5165 on the Q46 LTD running towards LIJ Hospital 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone help me out here. What are the buses signed up for as to the destination? Just curious. Carry on. Couple months or so ago, I used to take the Q24 from Alabama (and walk to the B46 after getting off at the last stop) when I would really get fed up with the crowds (the waits) for the B12.... Great to see that portion of the Q24 getting more riders, b/c before it used to come real close (sometimes even actually) carrying air..... But to answer your question: 1] The Q24 terminal (last stop WB is the first stop EB btw) on that end, is physically on Patchen st, at Lafayette av... Heading back towards Jamaica, buses turn right onto Lafayette av, then right onto Broadway..... 2] As for the "Lafayette's"....... Street is in Manhattan & Avenue is in Brooklyn. That would be one long ass bus route if the Q24 went to Lafayette st... Lmao the other day i saw a long line of people waiting for the q24 and q56 bus on supthin blvd and jamaica ave. that q24 bus needs to have more buses during the rush. it was like more than 30 minutes people waiting for that bus. Common during the PM rush.... Problem is, those buses are so delayed (for different reasons) heading towards Jamaica during the PM rush, that you get a large accumulation of folks at Sutphin for both of those routes.... It's usually more ppl. waiting for the Q24 than the Q56. More like it needs better dispatching. Those buses always seem to run in bunches. For the Q24, I'd say it would make more of a difference IMO.... With the Q56, I'm not so sure it would.... (You can take that with a grain of salt, being that I'm of the ilk that believes buses running under el's will be slowed no matter what/by default) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
