Around the Horn Posted August 29, 2017 Share #21577 Posted August 29, 2017 So why are only some buses on that detour? I'd guess that there are only certain times during the day where the street is actually blocked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78 via Stew Leonards Posted August 30, 2017 Share #21579 Posted August 30, 2017 Does anyone remember back in the hey day of the 90s, the Bx41 literally went from end to end of the Bronx. Oh how times have changed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteriousBtrain Posted August 30, 2017 Share #21581 Posted August 30, 2017 Does anyone remember back in the hey day of the 90s, the Bx41 literally went from end to end of the Bronx. Oh how times have changed Oddly enough, while walking around last night, I saw a Bx41 come from 138th Street to remind me of that moment due to construction at the terminal. Even more interesting was the fact that the bus was an SBS unit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BM5 via Woodhaven Posted August 30, 2017 Share #21584 Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) Why do Q50's have to terminate at Main Street & Northern Boulevard (towards Flushing)? If they're still picking up on Roosevelt, can't buses continue onto Prince and drop-off at Roosevelt & Main? I know that 39 Avenue is closed, but why then are buses going down on Main and dropping off there. What route are buses taking to get to Roosevelt & Main?

I know that 39 Avenue is closed, but why then are buses going down on Main and dropping off there. What route are buses taking to get to Roosevelt & Main?I think that with current traffic conditions and construction, almost every route terminating in flushing should be rerouted to minimize delays. At least until Main St is finished with its part, I think reroutes should be the following: The Q12, Q15/A, and Q26 should follow the N20G route east of Bowne St The Q17/27 should be moved from Main St and the reroute north of Sanford Av would be right on Sanford, left on Union St, then layover at Roosevelt Av and Union St using the Q13/16/28 terminal to turn. The Q19 and Q66 towards Flushing would run down Union St, right on Sanford Av and terminate. Westbound service would start at Kissena Blvd and Sanford Av. The Q50 would get a new reroute as well. Instead of turning at Main St, it would turn at College Point Blvd, then onto Roosevelt Avenue, likely ending at Prince St. Pickup would still be at Main St, but it would continue further to Union St, then run on Union until Northern Blvd, then connect to its regular route at Linden Pl. Northbound riders at Northern and Main will have to go to Linden Pl or Roosevelt Av for Q50 service. The Q48 would pick up at the same stop as the Q50, but now would run right turns on Main St, 41 Av, and CP Blvd. Regular service resumes at Roosevelt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Future ENY OP Posted August 30, 2017 Share #21587 Posted August 30, 2017 It wasn't fully complete then. You might be correct. I crossed it in early July and I got hit on my ez-pass bill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geez reading that now I'm glad I left Flushing for university. Getting a bus from Flushing this summer was already hell. 39th av better open before DOE schools start or it's GG for everyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoBrickBreaker101 Posted August 31, 2017 Share #21589 Posted August 31, 2017 The Bx6 SBS schedule is out, effective September 3rd. http://web.mta.info/nyct/bus/schedule/bronx/bx006scur.pdf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S78 via Hylan Posted September 1, 2017 Share #21590 Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) For some reason, the Q24 and Q56 schedules are shown from 2014. Disregard. They have fixed the glitch, but both schedules are still from last year. Edited September 1, 2017 by S78 via Hylan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the Manhattan schedules on the site are also ones from 2014 to 2016. The M5 schedule currently showing is the 2014 one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrivera Posted September 1, 2017 Share #21596 Posted September 1, 2017 There seems to be a sickout of some sort today, tons of Bx12 intervals are no showing. I think like a quarter or a third of the intervals have been ABD'd... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted September 1, 2017 Share #21598 Posted September 1, 2017 Just walked down Church Ave from Utica to the Church Ave F train stop, not ONE sunset park bound 35 passed me. Plenty of buses in the other direction though, wonder what the issue was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either Electric Zoo or Governor's Ball. One of those two events occurs around this time of year.

Gov Ball is in June. Guessing then that the x80 will be running until the 3rd when the Electric Zoo ends 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
