It's absurd how the bus pulls in those numbers while running only minibuses and during the peak period. NICE adjusted the Flexi to service LIJ-Valley Stream and increased peak hour service, then purchased newer Minibuses. 12 hours ago, Lex said: That's not what I was referring to... NICE eliminated most of their superfluous routes except for the Mercy Shuttle, Flexi, and n80. The n80 gets far too much usage among Amazon workers, and people working out of Bethpage to be cut. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absurd how the bus pulls in those numbers while running only minibuses and during the peak period. The fleet was recently changed to larger buses, and rerouted over to LIJ. The old circulator route didn't really serve any points of interest. It gets decent usage among HHAs in the area. Nassau Buses have been smooth enough that the HHAs are talking loud on the n35 about how they can't do the 3 buses to 1 destination for their client. Overheard two of them talking on the n35 to Baldwin on Sunday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's high demand for the n1 to Jamaica, but it's still the invisible route along Elmont Road. Also noticing high usage on Sunday Mornings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of waiting for the next bus, Or they can walk to the to the Q4. Flexi usage makes sense too, thats basically how the N2's ridership was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B35 via Church Posted September 16, 2019 Share #1872 Posted September 16, 2019 I'd like to know where these ridership numbers for NICE routes are being extracted & relayed from...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY1635 Posted September 16, 2019 Share #1873 Posted September 16, 2019 I found one for their low ridership routes. It begins at Pg. 126 https://www.nicebus.com/NICE/media/assets/NICE-Title-VI-Large-Program-Executed-2019.pdf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axis Posted September 19, 2019 Share #1874 Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) Funny...the current weekday midday/evening ridership & frequency on the n20H is a damned if you, damned if you don’t scenario. Having it every 30 minutes as of now results in a convenient amount of service...but buses with maybe 15-20 passengers (if that) at most per bus. Changing it to once every hour...would make in less room for error by barely missing a bus...but now you’ve freed up buses to use elsewhere (maybe to restore service on even just one of the many southeast Nassau County routes that got eliminated back in 2016-2017).

The only routes I see coming back are weekend service on the n27, n36, n45, n50, and n72 to Babylon at some capacity. The county would rather recombine the n20G/H back into the n20 for the convenience of Hicksville/East Meadow Residents, and college students who love their one seat ride into Queens. The problem still remains of what to do with the n20 between Roslyn Clock Tower, and Hicksville when the semester is over. The n20H runs nonstop between Glen Cove Road and Broadway Mall because the people who live there don't want bus service.
