PinePower Posted January 4, 2013 Share #776 Posted January 4, 2013 This is what everyone has been saying all along (even you sometimes)... It sounds like Veolia may even getting sick of Nassau judging by the response they are now giving out to anyone who writes in.... Wonder if they will walk away? We all know Nassau County has to step up funding, but Mangano and everyone else in Mineola could care less. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share #777 Posted January 4, 2013 http://lirr42.mta.info/stationInfo.php?id=39 So apparently the N37 is still alive and the N8 runs to Hempstead now! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's the other problem, Helena Williams, who is absolutely clueless and should be a manager of Saks Fifth Ave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted January 4, 2013 Share #779 Posted January 4, 2013 The 8 was supposed to go to Hempstead. No one really rides it even now, probably because even Elmont has plenty of driving families. On the other hand, the N3 was removed from VS (and is pointless when you can just take the 25 to Lynbrook from Franklin Avenue and have the advantage of TWO branches going to NYP) promptly after 6/26/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrstone Posted January 4, 2013 Share #780 Posted January 4, 2013 Well that's the other problem, Helena Williams, who is absolutely clueless and should be a manager of Saks Fifth Ave. Who's Helena Williams? Glassdoor.com reports that a just a department manager makes over $60,000 year, sounds like a decent job. Why do think someone you think is clueless should have a decent job with a decent salary? This is why tou confuse the hellmout of me sometimes... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrstone Posted January 4, 2013 Share #783 Posted January 4, 2013 The president of the LIRR makes only sixty grand a year? I didn't know who she was but figured she held a high title. A department manager at Saks Fifth Ave. makes over $60k a year. PinePower said she should be a manager at Saks Fifth Ave., which sounds like a respectable job if department managers are making over $60k a year. So if PinePower thinks she's clueless why would she think should have a respectable job in a respectable company? LOL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but given 2012, NICE is unpredictble with some things. The N37 however is a no-brainer because that is not coming back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted January 6, 2013 Share #789 Posted January 6, 2013 It sort of has - a few select trips in the AM and PM end up terminating at Hempstead. I do hope the 43 extension and 16x help pick up the slack, though, because the N35 was the best route for NCC students not wanting to deal with traffic by the front entrance and the social service building. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see, I'm not sure what the busiest times at the college are, I figure morning and afternoon/eve are. I just hope they dont pull an n21 with the n35 and make it rush hours only, because that would be a disaster (especially for me). Alot of NCC students are already unhappy with NICE. It certainly doesn't help reducing service there, but I doubt Mr.Kumar (the guy who is in charge of scheduling) knows how busy NCC can get, heck he even confused the towns of Nassau when he spoke at last year's Community Meeting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make what rush hours only? The n35 certainly won't be rush hours only nor the n43. Both of those are busy in the middle of the day, I know! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N6 Limited Posted January 8, 2013 Share #792 Posted January 8, 2013 To be fair NCC only had the N35 and N16 from Hempstead, NICE added the N43 extension. And so reducing the N35 to hourly mid day affects what exactly? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamousNYLover Posted January 9, 2013 Share #794 Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) When I was putting NICE Bus Public Hearing sign regardding MTA Fare Hike at 179th St bus stop, there was one Spanish deli that says COFFEE on Hillside Av/182nd St by n24 Hicksville/East Meadow bus stop that this store owner had put NICE Bus schedules on his store wall and he even put NCBT Commitee Meeting Flier. Also, when I was at 24-hour Jamaica-179th St exit side, there was outdated June 24th NICE Bus Schedule behind the station booth!!

User Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share #796 Posted January 9, 2013 If you're talking about Rahul Kumar at NICE, he is the route design manager and is responsible for many of the route changes that we saw in 2012, including the cutback of the n27. He's a young guy. In my opinion, he doesn't know as much as he should. He doesn't necessarily do the scheduling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted January 9, 2013 Share #797 Posted January 9, 2013 Rode my first 3G today: 1848 on the N78. By far the nicest NICE bus I ever rode: quiet, smooth, no rattling, on time.... Only problem was that the Clever Devices weren't on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see a nice bus organizational chart, but I doubt he holds the "power" people here think he does. Edit: A google search shows Rahul Kumar, held a position of vice president of business development (NICE Bus) as recent as April 12, 2012.

By not on, do you mean the Stop Requested announcement wasn't on either? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
