Marctalky1 Posted December 31, 2011 Share #1 Posted December 31, 2011 My last ride was on Tuesday the 27th. I was on the N22 from Jamaica. I got on at 179th street subway and got off at Hicksville RR. After Kuhl Ave I was the last one on the bus. This was the last run of the night.

Mysterious2train Posted December 31, 2011 Share #5 Posted December 31, 2011 Two years ago. August 15th, 2009 on the N33, from the train station in Far Rockaway to my aunt's place in Long Beach. I've only gone out there twice since 2009 and I've taken the railroad both times, but up until 2009 I would take the to the N33 pretty much every time I would go out to Long Beach. That's the only LIB route I've ever ridden and probably ever will ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted January 1, 2012 Share #11 Posted January 1, 2012 A few weeks ago, after work I went to Hillside Ave to try and catch a ride on one of the new New Flyer buses running on QV routes, caught one on the Q2, rode it to its eastern terminal, and walked to LI to catch a Jamaica bound bus (I was really hoping to catch a loaner Orion, but got a regular V CNG.) Anyway, it sucked as I had to wait really long during rush hour and the first bus that came flagged me. Eventually a V CNG on the N1 came and I rode it to 165th. Before that, I ride the N4 on a Saturday afternoon during the summer, had to wait really long and bus was crushloaded and people had to be flagged along the route. And the previous two rides on LIB sucked as well, I had to stand on a N24 from Mineola to Hillside Ave SMH. It must suck to have to ride that bus system on a daily basis, I know buses suck overall from a commuter POV but damn LIB was on another level of shitty. Its gonna be scary to see how the next couple of months transpire out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4P3607 Posted January 1, 2012 Share #13 Posted January 1, 2012 A few months ago, twice I went from Minneola to 179 St on an Orion V CNG on the N24. Never rode a Orion VII CNG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric B Posted January 1, 2012 Share #17 Posted January 1, 2012 http://www.nyctransitforums.com/forums/f149/jamaica-montauk-local-bus-33578.html The actual last ride being the N70/71/72 (not sure which) portion from RXR (Uniondale) to Hempstead, where I picked up the LIRR again to return home. All of this, not knowing what coming years will bring, I figured it might be the last chance to do the whole trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

checkmatechamp13 Posted January 1, 2012 Share #19 Posted January 1, 2012 I have a question about Student MetroCards: In some areas, there's no MTAB/NYCT service, and it's replaced by LIB or Bee-Line service (Boston Road in The Bronx only has the 60/61/62, and the eastern part of Jamaica Avenue only has the N24, and there's probably a couple of others I'm forgetting). Do those routes accept Student MetroCards or are you SOL if you live by those routes and they're the most convenient way to get to school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its gonna be scary to see how the next couple of months transpire out there. Me and 23,000 other NCC students have to deal with it every day. I think I might reacquaint myself with my bike sooner than later if NICE turns out to be a giant flop. Hell, one day I rode the LIRR two stations away just to avoid taking the N35/N4.

B35 via Church Posted January 1, 2012 Share #23 Posted January 1, 2012 Yesterday.... My last individual ride on LIB was (the full) N22 to Jamaica.... Instead of takin the LIRR straight from Ronkonkoma, I decided to get off at hicksville & take one last LIB.... the 22 came before the 20, so I took it..... Today on the N22 all the way from Hicksville to Jamaica to as a part of commerating the last day of MTA-run LIB. Around what time? We may have been on the same bus.

N6 Limited Posted January 1, 2012 Share #25 Posted January 1, 2012 2 weeks ago, took the Hempstead bound N6 from Jamaica. A few weeks ago, after work I went to Hillside Ave to try and catch a ride on one of the new New Flyer buses running on QV routes, caught one on the Q2, rode it to its eastern terminal, and walked to LI to catch a Jamaica bound bus (I was really hoping to catch a loaner Orion, but got a regular V CNG.)

It must suck to have to ride that bus system on a daily basis, I know buses suck overall from a commuter POV but damn LIB was on another level of shitty. Its gonna be scary to see how the next couple of months transpire out there. See, the N1 saves the day again. They've already cut the N3, and the N2 runs to Jamaica, and people are suggesting cutting the N1 runs to Jamaica. Doing that would lead to more flagging. Yes using LIB is bitter sweet, it sucks getting flagged, but the buses run much faster(speed) than NYCT buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
