Bussin' the Port Jervis

New sign I made, mainly by tracing the MTA map and guessing:

 

 

It's of an arbitrary size.

 

Also an MTA story to go along with it:

Prior to the start-up of service, routes were drawn up and then buses were sent out on test runs to determine running times. Test runs were made from each of the line's eight stations to either NJTRANSIT's Ramsey/Route 17 or Beacon on the Hudson Line until it was determined how much time had to be allotted to ensure that the buses were able to meet the trains.

 

Accustomed to guiding their coaches and articulated buses around city streets and along crowded expressways, the bus operators had to familiarize themselves to the new environment of rural Orange County roads. Aside from different traffic conditions, bus operators encountered some things that they don't see on their regular routes. Many of the drivers said they saw black bears, deer, skunks, horses and cows.

 

This bus service supplements a charter carrier that is serving the northernmost of the line's stations during the weekdays. But the MTA takes over that operation on weekends. Two types of vehicles are being used for the operation, 45-foot express coaches and smaller paratransit-type vehicles where space restrictions were encountered.

 

"Buses coming from the Bronx' Eastchester Depot to run this service have a nearly two hour trip before they pick up the first passenger," explained Anna Peck, General Manager of NYC Transit Bus and MTA Bus Road Operations.

Excellent job, Amtrak7!

 

Are you planning to do this for Danbury MNRR Shuttle Bus, LIRR Shuttle Bus and NJT train shuttle bus, too?

Thanks. No, I won't be doing this for anything else unless it's long term.
