N6 Limited Posted June 20, 2012 Share #626 Posted June 20, 2012 So, if weekday off peak N27service is extended to Roosevelt Field, then whats going on with the N23? Will it go to Mineola, or continue to go to Hempstead? Modified Timespan on N1? I wonder what that entails. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted June 20, 2012 Share #627 Posted June 20, 2012 More N23 Saturday service meaning larger span or half hourly service? These changes don't look that cost neutral...meaning that there has either been a large ridership drop since 4/8 or those changes saved more than they expected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qjtransitmaster Posted June 20, 2012 Share #628 Posted June 20, 2012 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 I wouldn't say that about N6x the N6X has been catching on with folks recently I used it the past few days and it is just as crowded as the N6 local now those recent changes made it actually work better than when it was first introduced it is safe to say NICE is quick to correct their mistakes as proven by the changes to the N6X and the N27. Will you ppl please back off the N80's case you scream like a broken record we get it N80 has to get cut in its current form. DROP IT ALREADY N80 apparently isn't going anywhere no matter how much you scream on these forums. Do you really think they are gonna come here and cut a line cause some internet guys say so no so DO NOT bring up N80 again unless you have a plan to boost it's ridership otherwise can it its getting real old and annoying we know we heard it the first 50 TIMES 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted June 20, 2012 Share #629 Posted June 20, 2012 This means that there will be 30 minute spans during several time slots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted June 20, 2012 Share #630 Posted June 20, 2012 This means that there will be 30 minute spans during several time slots. Several time slots? So that means they probably threw an extra bus on the route and had it do extra trips. I hope its not the substitute to making them wait for the 27... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmatechamp13 Posted June 21, 2012 Share #631 Posted June 21, 2012 So, if weekday off peak N27service is extended to Roosevelt Field, then whats going on with the N23? Will it go to Mineola, or continue to go to Hempstead? Modified Timespan on N1? I wonder what that entails. I assume it'll go to Mineola. I think they're trying to avoid increasing costs as much as possible, so there's no point in running the N23 the longer distance to Hempstead (that's probably also why they're only sending it to the RFM instead of Hempstead) More N23 Saturday service meaning larger span or half hourly service? These changes don't look that cost neutral...meaning that there has either been a large ridership drop since 4/8 or those changes saved more than they expected. Since it looks like the N27 extension just applies weekdays, I would assume it means half-hour service, but only when it's the busiest. I think it would be easier to just extend the N27 for those few intervals. It would probably save resources too (since the only extra cost is a bus running from Roslyn to Hempstead instead of Manorhaven to Hempstead. Plus, it takes a faster route as well via Roslyn Road instead of Willis Avenue). And aside from that, it provides the benefit of a one-seat ride (I mean, if the buses still aren't waiting, that just means that you have the option of catching the N23 a half hour early and waiting a half hour, instead of waiting the full hour). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Up Front Posted June 21, 2012 Share #633 Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) Only took them a month! How much more can they FUBAR the N31/32 schedules and how much longer can they refuse to acknowledge that the N6X was a waste of CNG and resources?

I think they should extend N31 short turns via rockville centre LIRR and time with LIRR then to hempstead via N17 routing aka penninsula N31X 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY1635 Posted June 22, 2012 Share #639 Posted June 22, 2012 Why modify the schedule and time span of the n1? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted June 22, 2012 Share #640 Posted June 22, 2012 The N1 does get quite a few riders needing to get to central VS from Elmont and from GA Mall to Elmont. Then again, the N6 to Hempstead to the N15, 16, 23, 35 or 43 to RF do just as fine and they have far more stores and a better food court. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted June 22, 2012 Share #641 Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) The schedules are online...no notice or anything, just click on the PDF schedule link for one of the routes listed in this thread. N16 and N17 are now one schedule; N17 now makes all stops N of Mercy CUT: N43 Hempstead is only when NCC is in session Edited June 22, 2012 by Amtrak7 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your petition had 4 signatures. I don't think NICE was really affected by that. I have seen N21 ridership past Roslyn increase though, with the rush hours only. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N6 Limited Posted June 22, 2012 Share #646 Posted June 22, 2012 They did this very sneaky, the new schedules still have the same names as the april 8th schedules. If the N6X goes to 169th street, where does it turn? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some N6X drivers bring passengers to Merrick Blvd/89th Av because they turn around there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now why am I not surprised to this, even though I didnt know either Ah, by making it hourly they probably need no additional buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
