According to NICE, the n6 has only 9000 riders daily. For comparison, the n4 has 10000 riders. It seems like the 5000 riders came from the Elmont-Franklin Square area off the n1. Speaking of which, the n1 is now terminating at Hempstead Turnpike and Elmont Road with no peak hour trips to Jamaica. The n6 gets more people who live off the Hempstead Turnpike between Elmont and Franklin Square. It was SRO because people were using the n6 to Elmont Road and catching the n1 from Jamaica heading to Broadway/Sheridan for stops along Central Avenue north of Merrick Road.

Mtatransit Posted April 14, 2020 Share #1937 Posted April 14, 2020 NICE was about to establish four new shuttle back in its March 2020 meeting, however it was postponed. Those new shuttles are The Port Washington Shuttle (I guess to make it permanent) The Bethpage Shuttle (n81?) Oceanside Shuttle (n36 probably) Merrick Shuttle (n51? or n53? not sure) https://www.nicebus.com/getattachment/Passenger-Information/Community-Meetings/Title-VI-Feb-2020_FINAL.pdf.aspx 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NICE knows who rides the buses. If anything, the Covid-19 pretty much made LIRR riders and pro-car people take the bus. NICE is upfront about funneling people in and out of Hempstead and Hicksville before sunset because city residents don't want to stay went night hits. We have possums and raccoons and dears that are far worse than the homeless that lay on the subway. There's no capacity at Lynbrook for the n36 as the n25 is now terminating at the Station Plaza off Broadway and Atlantic Avenue with n31/32 going thru. They would have to extend it somewhere west. NCC is closed for the semester, which renders the n51 obsolete. If they were to bring it back, ridership on the n51 would just end just south of the RXR Plaza. I feel like the biggest problem with the n51 and n24 is that they serve RXR while ignoring the biggest trip generator in East Meadow: NUMC and Nassau Correctional Facility and Family Court on Carman Avenue. The n51 doesn't need RXR Plaza because NCC redid their parking lot so that all buses enter at Charles Lindbergh while the n24 just serves Family Court while skipping NUMC. The n24 to East Meadow would get a lot of people who want to get into Queens without transferring to the n6 at Hempstead, or catching the same n22/24 at Roosevelt Field. The one good thing NICE did was get rid of the Transfers at East Gate Blvd, freeing it up for people who want to shop in Westbury to avoid dodging cars on Roosevelt Field. Sometimes I wish that the MTA did the same thing with the Q24/54/56, or the Q111/113/114/110 in Jamaica: One stops at Sutphin while the other 2 go to Hillside. Jamaica Center isn't really a good hub to the point that I would rather send the n4 over to Sutphin rather than have people wait at 150th for the n4. It doesn't make for good optics when the n4 out of service is ready to get back into service as it enters the bay while the Q5/85, is just taking a break at the bays. Queens Residents think the NICE bus is faster because it's often ready to go and get out and doesn't slow down. The n24 is the exception cause it always feels like the B/Os know Jericho is prone to traffic and would rather enjoy the slow ride into the city from Hicksville to Jamaica. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the N36 is brought back, which I don’t think it will be, how would it not have room in Lynbrook? Prior to elimination it ran every 70 minutes on weekdays and every 60 minutes on Saturday. Plus this is NICE. The layover in Lynbrook or Freeport would be so minimal. The N24 hasn’t served East Meadow in years, so I don’t know why you mention it when talking about the N51. Also Nassau County Corrential Center and Nassau University Medical Center are too far out of the way for any restored N51 via Merrick Ave. I’m also going to put my comments on the shuttles in the random thoughts thread, since they are more proposal that actual service change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say they are a proposal. NICE was about to implement these shuttles as part of the April service change. I still think these shuttles are still in NICE's mind 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NICE really wants to bring the N36 back. They're more concrete about using 30ft buses for the route as opposed to 40ft buses. The N25 is no longer laying over at Broadway and Langdon, it, lays over at the Station Plaza. That's what I meant. I bought up the n24 and n51 because the biggest trip generator in East Meadow is Nassau University Medical Center and Nassau County Correctional Center. The problem with both routes is that NCC once again changed the way buses enter/exit the campus. It's now enter at Charles Lindbergh in Both Directions, serve Student Union, Bradley Hall/Bookstore, the Endo Loop (That's what they call it now), and exit on Endo Blvd. Most Old Maps I found shows the N51 staying on Merrick till Stewart Avenue, then traveling west on Stewart to enter Roosevelt Field. Both aren't too far out. Far out in East Meadow would be going all the way to Newbridge just to serve the shopping centers.
