FamousNYLover Posted January 5, 2012 Share #2 Posted January 5, 2012 -Who from this or other transit forums would you want to help you (handles only) I would choose everyone who is familar with Nassau County excluding QJ. N6/N6L: Add N6L Limited trips during weekends except late night. Implent NICE BRT or NICEFastRapidTransit: Use same MetroCard or Coin Fare Collectors that SBS Uses. N20/L/N21: Extend hours of N20L during rush hours. N23: Extend to Roosevelt Field Mall non-stop from Mineola. N88: Restore N88 bus and uses coach buses on weekend to accordinate more crowds.
