VWM Posted March 8, 2012 Share #1 Posted March 8, 2012 Did old shuttle routes (28/52/53/93/94/95) use para transit buses or regular buses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User Posted March 8, 2012 Share #2 Posted March 8, 2012 They used regular buses, which is probably why the operating costs were so high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted March 9, 2012 Share #3 Posted March 9, 2012 Did old shuttle routes (28/52/53/93/94/95) use para transit buses or regular buses? The N53 used paratransit buses. Not sure about the N52. The others used regular buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User Posted March 9, 2012 Share #4 Posted March 9, 2012 The N53 used paratransit buses. Not sure about the N52. The others used regular buses. I didn't know that. The N52 seems like it would be an empty route anyway considering the low ridership on the N51. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The N53 used vans because buses couldn't negotiate the route, not because of its really low ridership Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VWM Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share #6 Posted March 10, 2012 The N53 used vans because buses couldn't negotiate the route, not because of its really low ridership That's why the only pictures of the N53 are paratrasit buses. (STUPID QUESTION(S) ALERT) Did it say "Merrick Shuttle in the window and have signs for stops? Because if it did they're gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrstone Posted March 11, 2012 Share #7 Posted March 11, 2012 Were these vans based out of rvc/mf or para? Did fixed route drivers or para drivers operate these routes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrstone Posted March 11, 2012 Share #8 Posted March 11, 2012 Also, in terms of shuttles, a driver told me that way back in the day para transit used to do shuttles from the airports for flight crews. If I remember correctly they even had a regular shuttle from jfk or lga to roosevelt field mall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
