B35 via Church Posted September 19, 2017 Share #21751 Posted September 19, 2017 Wouldn't New Lots and Cypress Hills be a part of ENY too? They're already subsections of East New York..... To me, Cypress Hills is a separate neighborhood and New Lots is a subsection of ENY. That mindset is very common... The fact that it's the least like the other subsections of ENY (demographically speaking; majority hispanic) has a lot to do with that..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's borders include Bushwick, Brownsville and Canarsie. Sub neighborhoods: Cypress Hills, Spring Creek, New Lots, and Starrett City. However, to me. I feel that Starrett should be more Canarsie than East New York, but geographically it is a subsection of East New York once u pass Penn Avenue or Louisiana Avenue which ever is first on the Canarsie end. All the neighborhood maps show that ENY is big. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Co-Op City is larger, but still) and extends no further north than Flatlands Avenue. That industrial area between Louisiana & Pennsylvania Avenue north of Flatlands is just ENY. (This is all IMO). I remember meeting a girl from Cypress Hills, and I found it odd when she said she lived in ENY (I asked where, and she said "by the train" or something along those lines, and I'm like "Oh, so Cypress Hills basically"). And she didn't seem like she was saying it for street cred or anything like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have family in Starrett City and remember as a kid I would always see a 69th pct and 75 pct in the areas in Starrett and there were times I would see an unmarked 69th pct working along the belt between Rockaway and Penn. I would always consider Starrett more of Canarsie extension but growing up I saw it more of East New York. Same for the industrial area most of it bordering Canarsie especially on the Foster Avenue and Avenue D ends through Louisiana Ave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that commercial advertising about the complex saying Starrett at Spring Creek There's always changes to that area. But both areas are subsections of East New York. Honestly, I never thought Spring Creek was it's own area. (IMO). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk There's no such thing as off-topic in a thread with no specific topic lol. But to answer your question, it's kinda hard to answer since most bus depots started out as trolley barns and whatnot. If I had to take a wild guess, I would say either Hale or the old 12 St depot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted September 25, 2017 Share #21764 Posted September 25, 2017 Don't like that 2185 was partially updated/painted at the rear. Lost the passing sticker, got the new safety sticker, and worst of all got new Arial numberplates. Museum buses should be left as they are, or at least preserved in the way they were retired! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future ENY OP Posted September 26, 2017 Share #21765 Posted September 26, 2017 I don't think it is in the immediate plans for the to place ads on the new incoming buses. I would always remember in the past when new buses would come in. Within a month of the deliveries you see the buses get slapped with an ad. We had the XD60's from bus for well over a year and not even a rear ad is on with exception of 5364. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sightly off topic but none of the SC C40's have ads on them either, they even took the ads off of some of the Orion CNG's there. When I was in Flushing I didn't see any on the CP C40's either.

When I was in Flushing I didn't see any on the CP C40's either. You are absolutely correct. Only ads I've seen from SC are the ones that came from Gleason and West Farms. Some 76xx buses. There are some C40's from College Point that have ads when I frequent in Jamaica. In unrelated news. Flatbush and Ulmer Park just got in a new set of 30x240 super king ads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted September 26, 2017 Share #21768 Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) Took the X27 home today for the first time in years... Those Prevosts are pretty nice and the ride from Lower Manhattan was smooth and quick, under 30 minutes, which just slightly beats >>B9 on a good day Edited September 26, 2017 by Around the Horn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S78 via Hylan Posted September 27, 2017 Share #21769 Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) I had a speedy trip on the Q10 from work with a very close connection to the Q24.

That's like two trains and a bus... If you live near Shore Road, I think it's crazy that you schlepp all the way over to 4th Avenue. The walk to 4th depending on where you are on Shore Rd is a PITA plus it is a little hilly in parts. When I considered moving back to Brooklyn and was going to move on Shore Rd and 92nd, the thing that deterred me was there was no express bus service on the weekends at that time since it hadn't been restored yet. Had it been running, I likely would've moved back to Brooklyn and stayed in Bay Ridge versus moving to Riverdale. In any event, considering where I would've been and how atrocious the B16 is, there was no way I was taking the bus to the subway or walking from there. Oddly enough though, my old boss bought an apartment down there. I recommended Bay Ridge to him (it's one of the best neighborhoods left with the old school South Brooklyn vibe), and he was trying to start a family and wanted to move from Brooklyn Heights. I saw him waiting for the X27 a years ago when I was still living on Staten Island and chuckled to myself.

That's like two trains and a bus... Well now that Bay Ridge Avenue is closed, during rush hour they'll either hold a B9 for connecting passengers or bring a bus from around the corner to shuttle people down, so thats about 10 minutes with little to no wait time, and the is about 15-18 minutes, the pretty much follow their schedule to the letter, so I as long as I'm at Fulton Center when it says so, thats a quick 5 minutes or less up to Canal... So its 30-32 minutes during rush hour if I make great connections... usually though its around 40... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q43LTD Posted October 2, 2017 Share #21773 Posted October 2, 2017 I was on Facebook today, there was an idea of having a bus running the entire length of Broadway in Queens. There was suggestions of having the Q104 do it and have the Q18 go down 48 St to compensate the loss of the 104. This is all because the went express between Roosevelt and Queens Plaza. I suppose it could work. Similar to when the goes express between Astoria Blvd and Queensboro Plaza. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmatechamp13 Posted October 2, 2017 Share #21774 Posted October 2, 2017 So there's construction at CSI which means they're basically ending the S93 at the front gate (they drop off at the loop bus terminal just behind the gate so people can easily transfer to the loop bus if they don't want to walk, and then go to the front gate MTA stop when it's time to depart). So with any luck that construction will take a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
