VWM Posted June 14, 2012 Share #603 Posted June 14, 2012 Jericho Turnpike and the Southern State are a good five miles away from each other. Yes they are. Now, sorry for being rude, but what does this have to do with anything? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted June 14, 2012 Share #604 Posted June 14, 2012 SL mentioned that Jericho Turnpike is used as a detour when the Southern State is backed up. I live literally right behind the Southern State and if people have to drive all the way up to Jericho Turnpike to get around a delay on the South Shore, something chaotic must have happened. In other words, he must have meant the Northern State... and I'm not in a good mood. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N6 Limited Posted June 14, 2012 Share #606 Posted June 14, 2012 Every morning I see a 79 on Manetto Hill road with standees there needs to be more service. Why should there be no standees during rush hour? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qjtransitmaster Posted June 15, 2012 Share #607 Posted June 15, 2012 dude what he is saying is that there is not enough service on the N79 line at rush hour THAT IS A FACT 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I known for the past 20 years bus fanning in LIB/NICE Buses, both Jericho and Hillside Avenue during rush hours (mainly friday nights and also Saturdays during the Christmas/New Years Holidays)can be a parking lot. So can Hempstead Turnpike. Maybe not so much from the Southern Pwy. but the cars are coming from somewhere i.e LIE or Northern State. So wanted to clairfy that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted June 15, 2012 Share #611 Posted June 15, 2012 What makes the Northern State so bad? The Northern State hits traffic right in the middle of the county, as does the Southern State when the road randomly narrows to three lanes near Lakeview and West Hempstead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marctalky1 Posted June 15, 2012 Share #612 Posted June 15, 2012 Why should there be no standees during rush hour? nope because its a turnoff for riders who barley ride a bus that comes once an hour that could use more riders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67thAve Posted June 15, 2012 Share #613 Posted June 15, 2012 How did we get on talking about Long Island parkways now? But since I DO live near the Southern State Parkway, I know the biggest bottlenecks in Nassau County are CIP/Belt (no suprise), 18 (EB ONLY), 19N (lots of cars get off there for Hempstead), 22 (EXTREMELY inefficent ramps onto and off of the Meadowbrook), 27 (Same reasons as 22), 28 (The ramps from the parkways become EXIT ONLY lanes for this interchange, leading to A LOT of weaving). 28A (NY 135) actually tends to not be as backed up, but it has really inadequate ramps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortline Bus Posted June 15, 2012 Share #614 Posted June 15, 2012 At this point I think this topic has reached the end since it been 2 months into the current Nice Route set-up. Unless there several of you want the chat to continue with a good reason. This thread has also become unpinned. When this is locked either today or shortly, feel free to discuss ffuture NICE service plans in attached link or similar topics.

That way, if there are any new members or anybody who happens to stumble across this thread, they know where to go to continue discussing the service changes (the ones that are actually planned, not just ideas). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BM5 via Woodhaven Posted June 15, 2012 Share #619 Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) NICE Will not do that. NICE is being too nice with the 80/81 and not too nice with the 6. As for the n79 to RF, I wouldn't do that. I personally think it was a good idea to truncate it to Hicksville. The reason is that mostly everyone gets off in Hicksville and More People get on. That was a good idea. As for the n24/n79, the schedules have to be cooridinated better, that's all. Besides, NICE gives two more transfers after getting on one bus route, so I dont see the logic in anyone complaining about this Edited June 15, 2012 by Q23 Central Term 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even almost 20 years ago waiting for a Queens-bound N22 or N24(forgot bus line i took lol)and going home then to Brooklyn couple of days before X-mas and the bus taking 40-plus minutes just to get to Mineola station. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is another reason why Nice reduced the Old Country Rd Routes. Now its just the N15, N22 , N24. There is reduced N22 service on Old Country Road since the N22X and N22L bypass Old Country Road. Although, I've seen Glen Cove Road become a parking lot also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
