What do you get.

mathematically.....

 

an indeterminable answer, because you can't "add the letter"... to a number ;)

 

I run along with this other bus along my mainstream. This "helper" route parallels this elevated structure. This bus goes deep into Manhattan, operate as a North-South Route and as a crosstown. Who is he?

The M100?

 

Wrong for the reason B35 specified.

ok, so What was the answer to your riddle ?

It was the (S42)

-It lost service to West New Brighton(or wherever that branch used to go before the 2010 cuts)

-Most of the S42's route is now duplicated by the (S52)

-The (S52) doesn't provide service on the S42's defunct branch.

 

Correct.

I'll post another one that wasn't like last time.

You must be the (Q60), and the "helper route" must be the (Q32)

I'm chill...

 

Just thought it funny (and weird) to see a post with a bunch of dots.

 

What's the next riddle?

Now I get. Look at the bottom to see if the answer is correct

ok, cool....

 

 

I didn't want to make a second guess (despite you changing the rule), but that last hint was too big a clue... lol...

Yeah I think that gave it away a lot.

Q101 E.Midtown's answer, is correct.

Anyone wanna go.

Ill go.

My route was changed many times. The percentage of routing that is still the same as when I started is only 35%. I still operate, being saved by the MTA. My ridership had about 300 riders, maximized to 1,200 people daily.

 

LOL, you quoted yourself... and: QUOTECEPTION

 

I guess (B61).

That's a hard one. I can't think of any route that had 300 riders. The S60 had 210 before it was eliminated, and the Q79 had 650. I don't think any route had 300 riders before the cuts.

We have a winner.

B35:

Pass or Go?

 

I'll go....

 

I pass by 2 major transportation terminals whose modes take you to other states....

I no longer have a route paralleling me to my eastern terminal, past mid-route....

 

p.s. slow & steady, wins the race.... drivers out of another borough's depots during the rush hour know this first-hand....

 

Who am I ?
