Blitz Posted January 27, 2012 Share #1 Posted January 27, 2012 I have a couple questions about the new NICE bus that my information source doesn't know. #1. How many buses besides 1816 are painted in the full NICE livery? And do they even plan on painting the rest? #2. Did they change the destination sign codes? I'm wondering if they removed sign code 22 or 9200... #3. Do they even have their own tow trucks? I believe that in the LIB days the CRS truck that use to come for broken down buses came from QV and CS. #4. Did they, or do they have plans to change the names of the 2 depots?

I believe that in the LIB days the CRS truck that use to come for broken down buses came from QV and CS. #4. Did they, or do they have plans to change the names of the 2 depots? 1. None, only 1816 is painted. My guess is they don't have the money to paint the buses just yet. Or that they're waiting for the new buses they ordered. 2. The destination codes stayed the same I think. They just added some new codes for the route changes they implemented on Jan 1st. 3. NICE has tow trucks and they're labeled nice. I've seen them at Great Neck LIRR Station. But they have very few of them and there aren't enough for the amount of breakdowns that happen everyday. 4. As far as we know, the 2 depot names are not planned to be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted January 29, 2012 Share #3 Posted January 29, 2012 I think they still have the former LIB truck - I saw it at Hempstead most of last week, with vinyl over the logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted January 29, 2012 Share #4 Posted January 29, 2012 IIRC, they have two service trucks and one tow truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumored that 2-3 buses are in the works of being repainted as well. 2. They might be trying too, I seen a few buses running around with the front sign reading: n24n24n24n24n & n27n27n27n27n 3. Yes, they have their own tow trucks and dispatcher cars as well. 4. As for now the depot names stay the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User Posted January 31, 2012 Share #7 Posted January 31, 2012 1. Rumored that 2-3 buses are in the works of being repainted as well. 2. They might be trying too, I seen a few buses running around with the front sign reading: n24n24n24n24n & n27n27n27n27n I can say the same. My Sources: Observation and a Dispatcher. Why only 2-3 buses? And the new signs sound stupid. The way the destination signs are now look better than n24n24n24n24 or n27n27n27n27. I thought that was a bug in the Luminator signs. I have seen buses with that, but it would be easier for people to see the destination of where the buses are going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted January 31, 2012 Share #8 Posted January 31, 2012 I think they're trying to program codes into the signs, but the was the one who re-did the signs in 2008. They're not coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User Posted February 1, 2012 Share #10 Posted February 1, 2012 I don't know why only 2-3, they should be all wrapped by now if they aren't slow and lazy... As for the signs, it's because Veolia want the routes like it's format on it's schedules... Then they should just change the "N" on the destination signs to an "n" And still have the signs show the destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the signs, it's because Veolia want the routes like it's format on it's schedules... They are messing up the signs though! That n24n24n24n24 it looks horrible and it doesn't display anything on the side or rear. I saw an 1800 like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted February 2, 2012 Share #12 Posted February 2, 2012 I saw a rear sign on an Orion V was flashing the full-size N25 from the front sign on the rear sign on Monday. It's all Veolia trying to install new readings onto the signs and not knowing how... on the N32 today the sign read a pre-RBO N32 FAR ROCKAWAY reading, rather than the smaller N32 Far Rockaway/Seagirt Bl reading it always has on. I wonder why it did that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do they even plan on painting the rest?of the 2 depots? 1830 maybe next up for repaint. A driver I know was told to take it to Mitchell Field today for repaint.

Joel Up Front Posted February 3, 2012 Share #20 Posted February 3, 2012 1830 to 1839 are all RVC buses, maybe I'll see it around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N6 Limited Posted February 3, 2012 Share #21 Posted February 3, 2012 Yeah, they're trying to do that but it's going to take a while because their programmers probably aren't the best Whats involved with programming the signs? Do they just have to program which letters to display? Or do they have to get really technical and program which LED's light up? or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamousNYLover Posted February 5, 2012 Share #24 Posted February 5, 2012 One more question... #5. Is there really a new system map in the works, or is that message on the NICE website just a placebo? In January, I keep checking System Map but it says Mid January. They not keeping their promise and now it just says, soon as posted but it's not soon.

fatguyonadiet Posted February 6, 2012 Share #25 Posted February 6, 2012 One more question... #5. Is there really a new system map in the works, or is that message on the NICE website just a placebo? No idea, but here's an unofficial one I'm working on (not done yet, still working out some kinks etc): LI Transit map (Nassau Inter-County Express (NICE), Huntington Area Rapid Transit (HART), Suffolk Transit and Long Beach buses, and LIRR trains (Monday-Friday) Saturday service: LI Transit map (Nassau Inter-County Express (NICE), Huntington Area Rapid Transit (HART), Suffolk Transit and Long Beach buses, and LIRR trains (Saturday) Sunday service: LI Transit map (Nassau Inter-County Express (NICE), Huntington Area Rapid Transit (HART), Suffolk Transit and Long Beach buses, and LIRR trains (Sunday) PM me if you notice any errors and I'll fix in the next release. (I already know the 22L isn't on there yet; it will be added) -Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
