What time was this? There is one weekday n22a trip that goes to Hicksville, 15:40 out of 169 -> 17:08 into Hicks.

around 5pm at RFM....

 

N22A to Hicksville? That's new. I wonder if that's solely because not running it would leave a gap in the corresponding direction. And it doesn't even start at 165th?

News to me also.... I didn't know that any n22a trips went past RFM.

There was 1 or 2 N22A's to Hicksville for a time under LIB's operation.

Does anyone know if NICE will release individual route ridership statistics any time soon. As a rider of the N20 and N21 for the past three years regularly I think the routes ridership has grown significantly over the last few months. I am not sure what to attribute it to but every single bus is packed weekdays all day. I expect that there is at least a 15-20 percent ridership growth from last year to this year its pretty crazy considering the service NICE provides.

I see they're going green.  :P

 

Look at this on the back:

 

GoMobile is the easy way to pay your NICE fare, get maps, schedules, and coming Spring 2015, access REAL TIME arrival information. The GoMobile app is FREE to download on Android and iPhone

Now "Spring 2015" Indicates April - June. However, IIRC this was "delayed" twice so far, so we'll see.

Before I went to Universoul Protest in Flloyd Bennet Field, I finally caught ex-Foothill #1018 bus on 9:00 n20 Hicksville, but since I was getting off at Great Neck to take n25 to n4 to Rockville Cetre to get some n16/17 schedule for passenger because passengers always ask me for schedules. I bought Rockville Cete-Atlantic Terminal ticket at Lynbrook Station and made to n4 bus, and Rockville Cetre TVM was very crowded, so I was smart and took it to Jamaica for train to East New York, and nice sexy Afrian color lady- in term of polite form of black/color) help me escort to Broadway Junction because she was heading same way. I said thank you, and took (A) to Broad Channel, (S) to Beach 116th St, Pizza break, Q35 to Visitor Center and did not see protest, so took Q35 back to Toll Booth did not see, then hike back to visitor center and nice rangers helped. Maybe I got confuse with protest, so took Q35 to toy store to get Veggie Snack (I eat vegan food during animal rights protest), then took Q35 back to Toll Booth and found them with BBC Media Production TV crew, then after protest, took Q35 back to Rockaway Park, (S) to Broad Channel. I had to hold on tight to signal pole because wind was very strong, but warm and I didn't want to fall down to 3rd rail and (A) came after 2nd shuttle. Took (A) to Chambers St for Tribeca Whole Food to do errand, then (1) from Chambers to 23rd St via South Ferry for Chelsea Branch to get Vegan Blueberry Muffin, then (1) to Columbus Circle to break at Whole Food table, then walk across Carriage Horse to Apple Store, then now will be taking (N)(R) back to Times Sq for <7> express home.

I got to ride F1002 just an hour ago.  Seats are LEAGUES above the hard plastic seats in the LI Orions.  The seating config could cause some crowding issues on busier trips.  There are luggage racks in the back.  The rear doors use bars rather than tape.  I'm not a fan of the orange signals on the back, though. They also seem to be geared for expressway driving rather than suburban use.

Today, 8:40 n20L Hicksville #1657 had rear door problem. Every time when bus makes turn, rear door gets release and halts bus suddenly but bus was able to make it all the way to Hicksville even thought it was bumpy ride with rear door problem causing bus to stop suddenly even thought door wasn't open, so it became front door only.

 

Also male driver on 10:10 n73 Wantagh #1654 doing 10:40 n73 Hicksville didn't know how bus turn around in Wantagh, so he had no choice but to make illegal U-turn to get to northbound lane for first stop.
