User Posted September 28, 2011 Share #152 Posted September 28, 2011 the N94 was known as the Woodbury Shuttle, it linked pars of Hicksville, the Gateways business park and parts of Woodbury to the Hicksville LIRR station. I never rode it, but judging from the schedule and the fact it was cut, I gather it didn't get much ridership and cutting it didn't cause too much of an impact. Am I right?

FamousNYLover Posted September 28, 2011 Share #153 Posted September 28, 2011 I should have rode N94. I did not know N94 catched up with N79 on my route to catch pic of N95 in SUNY Farmingdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilbluefoxie Posted September 28, 2011 Share #154 Posted September 28, 2011 I should have rode N94. I did not know N94 catched up with N79 on my route to catch pic of N95 in SUNY Farmingdale. back in the day you could have taken the S1 from Farmingdale up to Walt Whitman Mall and then took the 79 got off somewhere in woodbury on woodbury road and waited for the 94 to show up, but keep in mind it was not an all day route like the 95 was, this thing was pretty much rush hour only. I have one photo from the 94 http://jonstrainphotos.com/show/378 back in 2010, I went and got photos of those shuttle routes before they were gone.

FamousNYLover Posted September 28, 2011 Share #155 Posted September 28, 2011 I took N94 picture too, remember? When I was waiting for N79, I took pic of it and when N79 came, same N94. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B35 via Church Posted September 28, 2011 Share #157 Posted September 28, 2011 What are the Gateways? What exactly did the N94 do?A visual.... (I'll throw the 95 in there also) I never rode it, but judging from the schedule and the fact it was cut, I gather it didn't get much ridership and cutting it didn't cause too much of an impact. Am I right? only managed to take it twice (2 separate occasions).... both times I took it to crossways (both times, I walked up to LIRR Syosset, heading back to Brooklyn).... first time I took it, there were 2 other ppl on board.... last time, I was the only person on the thing the entire time.... I get the sense that the thing wadn't well used at all..... The N95 didn't draw too many riders either, but I've been on 95's that had more than 10 ppl. on it.....

In most cases, rush hour only routes are in poor use (N62, N14, N94) in Nassau County. The original PinePower idea of bringing the N81 up S Oyster Bay would work, but there would be the problem of through riders from the south facing a longer trip. How about some N79 trips via Gateways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted September 29, 2011 Share #159 Posted September 29, 2011 That qjgibberishmaster is going to propose "long distance" ideas in no time at all. Let's extend the N72 to Montauk Point and the N71 to Greenport via a busway that uses old LIRR rights-of-way and the N22 goes to the Bronx via the Whitestone...

FamousNYLover Posted September 29, 2011 Share #160 Posted September 29, 2011 I was also at Roosevelt Field Mall, not N93 never showed up, which screwed up my LIB plan, and took to Hicksville to get pic of N94, which I did. Then I got pic of N95, which came unexpectly flying through campus. I should also ask Long Island Bus NG sitting by across from Trinity High School if he was N67 back in May.

PinePower Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share #163 Posted September 29, 2011 - ok, How much more frequent do you wanna make that segment (Prospect av, etc)..... anything lower than every 15 mins. peak & 20 mins. off peak is overkill..... I know you wanna protect home, but (as checkmatechamp would say) let's be fair here..... I want to maintain those headways. Anything less often than those headways will be a mess. My finalized plan actually cuts back N35 service to only every other trip going to Post/Rockland with many ending at NCC. The ridership along Post Ave isnt enough to warrant anything more than hourly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilbluefoxie Posted September 29, 2011 Share #164 Posted September 29, 2011 Was the picture taken by the Social Service Building's parking lot? I dont remember, it was on that big circular road that goes around the Nassau Hub area near the Museum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteLightning Posted October 8, 2011 Share #165 Posted October 8, 2011 I believe I told you that a long time ago. Doesn't Nassau County have to approve buses travelling along routes? Maybe the residents don't want the smelly buses on thier roads? Armchair transit gurus can decide the proper way but in reality it isn't that easy. Butting heads and millions of different ideas is what led partially to the destruction of LIB. Way too may chiefs and never enough Indians! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
