I don't agree with it, but I'm guessing that the thinking is that those are prime hours where the masses are doing their shopping inside Whitman Mall on weekends.... Not the first time I've seen something scheduled like that, where you have some suburban routes that serve malls have gaps of the sort.... IINM, I believe the weekend BL-12 was scheduled like that (before that *shrug* worthy cutback to Armonk).... Anyway, weekdays, they want to make the thing (n79) a rush hour only route.... Hate to say, but those gaps are intentional & they're not going to be filled in. They still hasn't recalled n20G/H schedule 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY1635 Posted May 17, 2019 Share #6107 Posted May 17, 2019 I just found out that NICE is expanding their shuttle service deeper into the Port Washington area during the peak hours. It looks like they're aiming to cover the area north of the LIRR station not served by the n23. https://www.nicebus.com/Passenger-Information/Shore-Road-Shuttle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamousNYLover Posted May 24, 2019 Share #6110 Posted May 24, 2019 On one of facebook NICE Bus page, guy made Charlie keep insting NICE Bus isrestoring some routes that he heard from rumor.

User Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share #6111 Posted May 27, 2019 It looks like NICE posted today's Memorial Day parade in Queens on their Service Alerts page: It's great to see that it's not being ignored anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing NICE uploaded it intentionally because they secured enough funding to restore concert service on the n88, but didn't have time to create a completely new timetable for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never created schedule last year either. I checked n20G/H schedule and that schedules must been recalled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RtrainBlues Posted June 12, 2019 Share #6114 Posted June 12, 2019 The dropped runs are really getting out of hand. I've counted numerous totally dropped runs on the N15 and N24 weekdays during rush-hours and mid-days the past several weeks. And severe lateness on the N24, N15 and N22. Customer base appears decimated since people are switching to other modes of transit, rather than wait for slow, delayed or dropped buses. Someone needs to take charge and fix this, before this company goes out of business. Mineola and Roosevelt Field have far fewer customers than in years past. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY1635 Posted June 12, 2019 Share #6115 Posted June 12, 2019 NICE just released their Summer Schedule. I'm surprised that the Elmont Flexi is getting more hours, with the first trip to Green Acres leaving Meacham Ave and Hempstead Turnpike at 4:50 in the morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The n78 now officially runs on Saturdays. They shifted the periods the n79 runs about 1 hour earlier. If they're gonna add n78 bus service on Saturday, they could have added midday and evening n79 service (which would have been more beneficial).

I've heard that the n78/79 has an average ridership of around 1,200, and the restoration of Saturday Service might add another 200-400 to it.

That, and on top of it, they keep di**ing around with service... Change can be good, but too much of it too frequently creates a certain instability; it's enough that waning reliability is an issue here.... You can barely plan a commute when the schedules keep changing every like 3-6 months.... Lot of NICE riders make xfers to other routes/modes, so that's also something that's gotta be considered...... On top of THAT, when you're running but so few BPH on a lot of these routes, yeah, everything said here is all a recipe for disaster.... I hate to even say this, but they're the polar opposite of the MTA as far as what I'm about to mention, goes..... While being frugal in their own right, NICE is getting too creative.... That's not necessarily a good thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted June 19, 2019 Share #6121 Posted June 19, 2019 Change or not, it doesn't excuse the dropped runs, constant bunching (even on 2 bus/hour routes) and chronic lateness. I'm seeing rush hour buses packed far less than they used to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axis Posted June 20, 2019 Share #6122 Posted June 20, 2019 Clocked in Far Rockaway-bound n32’s passing by Central/Washington at the following times: 3:10, 3:20, 3:50, 4:00, and 4:03 “Headway-based” operation sure totally works... /s 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axis Posted June 20, 2019 Share #6123 Posted June 20, 2019 I had a feeling this severe bunching of the n32’s I mentioned earlier (due to extreme traffic congestion along Central Avenue & perhaps even the torrential downpour that soon followed), would eventually backfire later on. 7:10 PM, I just got out of work & ran to the n32 bus at Central/Washington. Bus was over capacity, and the driver would not let me (or anyone else at the stop) on. Keep in mind, the next n32 after this isn’t for another hour, so I pulled up Where’s My Bus & saw on the map that the last n31 would not be able to get to Central/Rockaway Turnpike until nearly 8 PM too. So, I guided the two people who were left behind with me. We walk down Central Avenue, and soon we reach Rockaway Turnpike. ANOTHER TEN PEOPLE had been stranded from the last bus for the next hour or so at Central/Rockaway. So, in a heroic effort, I led EVERYBODY to Mott/Rockaway to get the next Q114 to Far Rockaway, which arrived at 7:30 (thankfully, an artic with more than enough room for everyone to sit). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axis Posted June 20, 2019 Share #6124 Posted June 20, 2019 It really simmers me that out of all five ways to get in & out of Five Towns on a MetroCard, none of them are anywhere near ideal for me personally. Q113/114 & n31/32 - Unreliable & nonexistent - Infrequent & requires taking one of the four unreliable bus routes above to actually get me to where I work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axis Posted June 21, 2019 Share #6125 Posted June 21, 2019 Also, guess who enjoys leaving work at 7, only to not even leave Far Rockaway on the until AN HOUR LATER? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
