FamousNYLover Posted May 4, 2015 Share #3676 Posted May 4, 2015 Yes, I did talk and some of them weren't aware there were heavey delays on buses. I think lots of people got stranded in Westbury, New Castle and Carle Place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N6 Limited Posted May 5, 2015 Share #3677 Posted May 5, 2015 The N6 was running in pairs this morning for some reason. In the time waiting for the bus, I saw a pair of expresses and a pair of locals going toward Hempstead and a pair showed up Jamaica bound (after a 20 min wait of course) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted May 8, 2015 Share #3678 Posted May 8, 2015 F1001 (I think) and F1015 have working signs. The "nXX" is similar to the old diesel Orion V sign font while the destination and major streets are similar to the Orange Luminators. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard that the signs were working on 1012,1018, and 1021 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B53RICH Posted May 9, 2015 Share #3680 Posted May 9, 2015 Are the ex-Foothills assigned to a particular route? I haven't seen them on the N78/N79 or any other as of yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTA Bus Posted May 9, 2015 Share #3681 Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) Are the ex-Foothills assigned to a particular route? I haven't seen them on the N78/N79 or any other as of yet. All of the Foothills are based out of Mitchel Field, which is where most of the NICE routes are dispatched from, including the N78/79. They tend to just show up on random routes.

FamousNYLover Posted May 10, 2015 Share #3683 Posted May 10, 2015 Today after I took 8:00 n20 Hicksville #1868 on my way to Medford via Hicksville, Ronkonhoma, 1st 9:40 n79 South Huntington never showed up. 9:43 n24 Jamaica #1873 had destination sign broken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q113 LTD Posted May 10, 2015 Share #3684 Posted May 10, 2015 I was walking on Seagirt Blvd and I saw a N32. I was not able to see the number on the bus because I was a block away from the street and when the bus was turning, I heard the "The bus is turning..." announcement. That I never heard before on NICE or they just recently install the turning announcement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N6 Limited Posted May 13, 2015 Share #3688 Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) NICE plans to have the bus tracking in the GO Mobile app by the end of June.

Joel Up Front Posted May 15, 2015 Share #3689 Posted May 15, 2015 Main Line LIRR trains are filled with those pamphlets on the Ellison Avenue bridge replacement. I took a look at the obvious (that bridge looked like it could have fallen on any given day) but I noticed something off about the bus maps: The Hicksville one makes no mention of the N24 (which was extended to Hicksville in 2012), nor the N48/49, but mentions the N80 and N94. The Bethpage one shows the N23 stopping at the station. What a detour! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to send email to MTA LIRR because NICE Bus routes were posted outside Mineola Station and they sent me email back, LIRR's Alternatve Shuttle Buses will not affect NICE Bus's operation in/out from Mineola Station. Only thing they forgot to take away n78/79 bus. I think lots of NICE Bus riders will confuse because some ex-LIB still has MTA paint.

I think lots of NICE Bus riders will confuse because some ex-LIB still has MTA paint. Their service has been run down for 3 years (and counting), I think they would have noticed by now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N6 Limited Posted May 17, 2015 Share #3694 Posted May 17, 2015 What do you all think about the Bus Tracking that's supposed be up and running next month? Do you think ridership will increase? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted May 17, 2015 Share #3695 Posted May 17, 2015 Those are even more annoying than the old "bus turning" announcements. This. Shit is mad loud, and it's more verbose than the old "Bus Turning.... Autobus (tor)neado" announcement .... They seriously need to turn down the damn volume on those things.... When I'm walking towards the RR station (if there's no trains approaching the station obviously), you can hear the buses turning into Mineola Intermodal all the way from as far as 2nd st/3rd av (which is a block away from the station, and on the opposite side of Mineola Intermodal, to boot)..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think ridership will increase? I don't think there will be any increase, or maybe a small one. It'll benefit the existing ridership and any occasional riders. What program are they using for the tracking device? Edited May 17, 2015 by BM5 via Woodhaven 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
