Today is the first anniversary of the devastating bus cuts

Recommended Posts

I agree. Few months ago I saw a B41 school run and although it was full of screaming kids, some guy was 'brave' [balls of steel, cuz I sure as hell would not get on a bus with those animals] got on the bus even though the driver said it was a school bus.

Point is people can still get on as if it was a regular run.

 

A similar situation happened to me years back on the SEPTA 129 or 128 line I barely remember but I know it was one of those 2 no they are not school trippers but yes it was full of screaming school kids. But for me it was take 128/129 or be stranded in bucks county somewhere.

bottom line X32 should have been an all day rte with limited stops beyond bedford park and limited in queens and allowed all ppl to use it

 

All day route? Are you nuts? Rush hours only would be fine.

I'm sorry, but that makes absolutely no sense. I'd like to see documentation stating that the X32 was "not meant to be profitable". The X32 was discontinued due to low ridership, and that alone speaks volume as to why the route was done away with.

lol.... word... it's too easy to shut down this guy's points; wasn't meant to be profitable.... This running thought that the MTA created the x32 out of the supposed kindness of its heart to make travel for specialized students easier (if that were the case, then the buses would have been free, [right CheckmateChamp :(])....

 

.....the same MTA that wanted to get rid of student metrocards, mind you.....

 

It WAS open to everyone, just targeted toward students.

That's not accurate...

 

You were questioned if you attempted to board that route if you weren't a student.... being open to everyone means I can walk on a bus, pay my fare, and make my way on the bus.... No questions asked.

 

That's discrimination.

Exactly.

 

hence why it was CUT!!!! the arrogant fools got selfish and basically got what they deserved!!!! when you try to hog up a public bus rte all to urself it WILL GET AXED!!!!! Hence why X32 was killed. I would bring it back as a limited stop/express rte thaty saves ppl from Q44 well sort off.

That's not the reason why it was cut....

 

Like I said before, the students THEMSELVES weren't riding x32's in full force.... the service catered to schoolkids....

 

Do the math.

 

I honestly believe you're disagreeing with me for the sake of disagreeing with me. People act like the X32 is the only school run in the city.

I honestly believe you rely on people to co-sign the delusional & impulsive arguments you make... but that's neither here nor there....

 

People aren't actin like it was the only school run in the city, gtfoh.... A route like the x32 pales in comparison to a route like the B9, the Q30, and god knows how many other routes run school trippers... there's a HUGE difference.... and I'm not even talkin about on no express-local level either.....

 

All day route? Are you nuts? Rush hours only would be fine.

It's laughable, man....

 

people forget how many different branches the x32 had.... there was one running from 165th st term, one out of Oakland Gdns, and one out of Bay terrace.... yet we're gonna run these buses all day to the bronx, including during the time when students are in classes.....

again I forgot to elaborate the X32 of course not in its original form but as a regional bypass route outside rush it bypasses BHS and continues either to empire city casino via bedford park and I-87 or yonkers rail station via either riverdale ave or S broadway the bus will be closed door in westchester but open door everywhere else. secondary ability some variants will serve fordham plaza further completing the regional transportation network. Plus outside the runs it had the extra runs would be open door LTD stop rtes with regional express service to the bronx and its many busy areas. In its current route there is no way but if modified to take on several abilities many different types of travellers will be able to freely use transit for several trips that would normally not be possible. When I make points there is always a secondary motive. Think about what if there was a quick way to get from one point to another. X32 alone could never acomplish this and has hidden potential as the route needed to link westchester or even the regional transportation network beyond upstate to LI without having to pass through manhattan or drive on I-295. Its current rush service will be as is but its full time service will be completely different intended as a bypass that links nassau with upstate w/o manhattan the westchester parts and intercity rail at new rochelle thus creating more opportunities.

my intention is not to run all the branches all day in their current form. Ur right as the rte is now enhancement isn't really an option. BUT if it was more than just a school rte then other uses can be made with X32. The bay terrance branch is left as is with its current limited schedule but maybe 4 rush hr trips. However during other times and the full time variant won't operate that way but will instead run as a LTD stop rte from rego park through flushing onward to bay terrance but with a catch it goes express via I295 then has a stop to link with the BX8 and BX24 partly before heading to co-op city to link with other rtes for different travel opportunities then acts as a reverse of the Q50 before going express to new rochelle transportation center that combined with the BL62 means if the 42 were to become an express to white plains think about the transfer that means ppl from all over LI and queens use LIRR and bus rtes to reach bay terrance they get the new x32 for intercity rail at new rochelle OR local bee-line rtes for points in westchester or to white plains via transfer to express bus from new rochelle and for ppl heading to points north can transfer again in white plains for other possibilities. It is way more than just x32 there is much more to it than that

Those school runs are much more well-used, but I agree that the excess ones should be eliminated (I'm glad they reduced the number of S44 trippers at my school from 5 to 3)

Since when his stupid ass idea made any sense??? All he do is post fantasy bullshit and I'm sure he didn't bother to ride the X32 or even checked out the route itself!

 

 

 

What about Q44 Bronx Science trippers

 

Q44 school trippers do not have Bronx Science trippers....its only for Townsend, John Bowne and some other High School!

yup ur completely clueless I meant for trips other than the trippers the current trippers for X32 are left unchanged. Plus my intentions were to create an exchange between busy rtes in the bronx and queens while catering to new regional travellers and keeping LTD stop riders happy with more options to the bronx and more connection opportunities dumb enough for ya idiot!!!!!!:cool:

I don't see that happening @ all!

 

Q44 route pattern won't allow that as X32 was a type of super express. The intention I had was to take rtes with the most transfer opportunities that had a route pattern similar to the X32 and merge them with a variant of X32 along part of it's route the parsons segment other than the school trippers gets axed. the routes are meant to get ppl out of their cars rather than cater to current travellers the new route pattern I have for X32 is targeted at types of trips not very easilly done via transit in it's current form this extends transit's flexibility the route would be promoted as a quick bypass type of route for many different travellers rather than one group of ppl. If you took time to look beyond you NYC region you would actually understand what I am talking about but sadly only a few are good enough to figure it. I am dealing with idiots

LOL, that's a laugh

 

WOW you really are stuck in NYC you didn't even notice at all what I said I guess I will translate if LI bus service is improved speed wise it's easier to reach the LIRR allowing ppl for flushing to avoid N20/21 or ppl who normally drive to westchester areas can cut through via flushing using X32 to reach many areas in the bronx or westchester dumb enough for ya.

 

Also long distance ppl will always need manhattan for heading west of the hudson and going along those areas. However once the I-287 rail corridor is done the possibilities will only increase. That along with express service improvements throughout NYC metro area will have indirect possibilities on the transit network. LI is not suitable for intercity bus rtes at all I was surprised shortline even improved service to LI. There are too many variables to try to explain I will take all day to get it through to ppl however some have caught on

No it's not. Discrimination would be a rule stating that only whites and Asians can use the X32.

I disagree. Bedford Park is not a popular destination. Besides one of the top five high schools in the nation, there's nothing there. However, the fact remains that the route performed a public service and I can't fathom a billion dollar agency losing that much money on a roue that had 3 runs a day.

DID you not here me when I said BEYOND bedford park????? Plus I suggested after becoming all day gets extended beyond yes it links ppl to BL20/21/4 but another ability when extended it can be a faster way to reach empire city. Or connect in yonkers with many BL rtes and the train station but unlike BL rtes it will make very LTD stops cause its intended for speed. Another possibility includes if Q38 becomes Q51 to flushing during rest of day it absorbs x32's bay terrance routing but goes express via 295 to link with bx8 and 40/42 then co-op city and act as a reverse of Q50 but to new rochelle via 95 to link with other transit services turning the rte into an interregional LTD/express route. the 3 runs however left unchanged as school variants.

exactly... PUBLIC transportation...

 

which means you don't cater one of its services to a specific group of people....

 

Exactly...people need to understand how the X32 started. It was started as COMPETITION to the private school bus service by a connected parent. There was no vacuum to be filled. In the end, Bronx Science Bus handed the X32 its arse.

Any driver that prevented non students from boarding the bus broke federal law. The feds do not want to be in the school bus business.
