Union Tpke Posted July 11, 2014 Share #2701 Posted July 11, 2014 Everytime I go on NICE Bus, I always get Nice! Walgreen snacks/drinks from Walgreen/Duane Reade. Duane Reade has nice selection! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty24 Posted July 15, 2014 Share #2702 Posted July 15, 2014 Well 1732 is sitting in the back of Mitchell Field with a smashed front end. Apparently it was involved in an accident. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojiMet86 Posted July 15, 2014 Share #2703 Posted July 15, 2014 Something interesting over at BusTalk: http://bustalk.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4276 Apparently there used to be a QN-12 that was operated by Queens/Steinway Transit that ran from Astoria to Jones Beach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought there was a reason I hadn't seen it. I used to see that and 1833 a lot in the spring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty24 Posted July 16, 2014 Share #2705 Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) @Joel Up Front , I believe it happened recently. I saw it on Monday in the back and it doesn't look to good from the angle I saw. 1833 is still out and about with that blue decal stripe and 1636 is still running around with the John Deere engine.

Joel Up Front Posted July 16, 2014 Share #2706 Posted July 16, 2014 I haven't seen 1636 in almost three years. I thought that never passed DOT inspections... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LI Operator Posted July 16, 2014 Share #2707 Posted July 16, 2014 Yea $5.25 is not worth it from Lynbrook. I'd just take the n4. Yea the n4 local is a hit or a miss. And always has been even when the ran the show. But I just use the "Transit" app. I've tested it some Freeport bound n4s left a minute ahead schedule. It's just a matter of luck. When you don't need the bus they site up in bunches of 2 and even 3. But when you actually need it it doesn't show up. :sigh: $5.25? Not on NICE... All buses are regular fare - local and express. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4 Via Merrick Rd Posted July 16, 2014 Share #2708 Posted July 16, 2014 I was talking about the LIRR. Not NICE. I also haven't seen 1636 in a while. But it's rare to see it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LI Operator Posted July 16, 2014 Share #2709 Posted July 16, 2014 Say "So Long" to the NICE Flip Dots... Apparently with the instalation of the new Clever Device systems in the buses this year, all of the buses with Flip-Dot signs will be upgraded to LED signs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted July 17, 2014 Share #2710 Posted July 17, 2014 The last time I was on here, in November, the 4x was barely used. I was on my bike under the West Hempstead tracks earlier and an eastbound n4x shot by SRO. Does anyone know if the expresses are crushloaded in the mornings? I really want to see what happens if the LIRR strikes, because I know people don't carpool much here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousNYLover Posted July 17, 2014 Share #2711 Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) n4x is heavily used now during rush hour but no standees. Most n4x riders head between Jamaica, Queens, Valley Stream, Rockville Cetre, Lynbrook, etc. East of Lynbrook, ridership drops.

Yeah, when I used to use the N4 most ridership was between 5 Corners and Jamaica. A lot of reverse peak ridership. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted July 17, 2014 Share #2713 Posted July 17, 2014 Say "So Long" to the NICE Flip Dots... Apparently with the instalation of the new Clever Device systems in the buses this year, all of the buses with Flip-Dot signs will be upgraded to LED signs. Good move. A lot of the flipdots on the NJT MCIs started to crap out after the Clever Devices got put in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N4 Via Merrick Rd Posted July 18, 2014 Share #2715 Posted July 18, 2014 Originally, this bus order was supposed to replace the rest of the Vs. But NICE ended up auctioning less of the Vs than the number of buses that had been purchased/delivered back in 2012. With this latest development, you can expect NICE to just be increasing their fleet and not necessarily getting rid of the buses that are barely alive.Are they going to put the clever devices that are already on the 3Gs on the Vs?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N6 Limited Posted July 24, 2014 Share #2718 Posted July 24, 2014 On bus #1595 and it is a beater. The back door will shut the bus off if it is pushed or opened, no A/C, & windshield wiper had to be manually moved to start working. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrstone Posted July 27, 2014 Share #2719 Posted July 27, 2014 At about 8 O'Clock tonight I saw a NICE bus at the Bellmore Ave/Merrick Ave split in East Meadow heading north with n19 on the desitination sign... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamousNYLover Posted July 27, 2014 Share #2721 Posted July 27, 2014 Tip for bus fan who want to photograph NICE Bus: Please don't take picture of 8:25 n20 Hicksville on Sunday. This nasty female driver almost refused to let me on bus because I photographed her bus before long time ago. Even thought I said I don't have camera anymore, she didn't trust me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have asked to see the rule where you can be denied boarding unless the driver trusts you won't take a picture. These people are unbelievable, cops in public can be filmed (unless you're being detained) and bus drivers think they are above it.. lmao Keep in mind most bus drivers aren't foamers so when they see people taking pictures they think it is going to be used to try to get them in trouble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She wouldn't tell me. She told me I have to get permit from NICE. All other NICE, Long Island Police, Fire Department, FDNY, NYPD knows I take picture of buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
