John from Flushing Posted September 4, 2015 Share #4476 Posted September 4, 2015 $2.75 yes it is a good price if it's for one time only, when somebody takes bus twice a day it is $2.75 times 2 then tnat number times 7 days It adds up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtatransit Posted September 4, 2015 Share #4477 Posted September 4, 2015 That is where a weekly/monthly pass is a good deal. Most riders already uses passes. It gives flexibility and may be cheaper than paying 2.75 each time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Flushing Posted September 4, 2015 Share #4480 Posted September 4, 2015 I prefer to pay in coins sometimes 30 day unlimited pass doesn't work on nice bus I get error 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousNYLover Posted September 5, 2015 Share #4481 Posted September 5, 2015 For example, I mistake took LIRR Montauk Branch and ask two taxi different taxi companies at Hicksville Station, how much to NICE Bus Depot in Garden City cost and they say it's $40 to 700 Commercial Av or $50 to same place. See how cheap NICE Bus is $2.75 fare. Comparing to $116.50 30-Day MetroCard I uses, if I was taking LIRR and taxi, I might be spending more than $116, so 30-Day Unlimited MetroCard rides of NYC Subways, NICE Bus and Westchester County Bee-Line Buses are great deal because for instance without using LIRR or MNRR in 1-day, you could from Babylon Station to Peekskill by using NICE Bus, NYC Subway and Bee-Line Buses, etc. So 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousNYLover Posted September 5, 2015 Share #4482 Posted September 5, 2015 Most people who use public transportation on Li & NYC are on a low limited income, that's if the person has any income at all. It is designed to be cheap & affordable. when NYC first started public transportation it was 5 cents for over 40 years. One mayor once made a suggestion all buses & trains in LI & NYC should be FREE. I forgot who I saw it on tv one night. This is why yellow taxi have 50 MTA surcharge to Fund mta & nice bus companies. 50 cent surchase I mean to say. How do you edit a post? Mayor Blasio or Mayor Bloomberg did not suggested FREE. It was free aftermath of Hurricane/Blizzard disaster by ordered by Gov Cuomo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrstone Posted September 5, 2015 Share #4488 Posted September 5, 2015 Whatever happens just do not raise the fare, the riders can not afford it. If a rider cannot afford an extra 25c a ride, 50cents a day, $2.50 a week, something went seriously wrong in that persons life that quite frankly isn't NICE's or Nassau County's problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Flushing Posted September 5, 2015 Share #4489 Posted September 5, 2015 $2.50 extra a week that is ten dollars a month. Some people need that $10 dollars a month for food. People make a choice it's either take the bus or have that bolonga & cheese sandwich. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Up Front Posted September 5, 2015 Share #4491 Posted September 5, 2015 I miss when Rocko's Modern Life actually aired on Nickelodeon. NICE related - the current terminal at RFM was still under construction the last time they aired it on the main channel before Nicktoons started up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetSMART45 Posted September 5, 2015 Share #4492 Posted September 5, 2015 $2.50 extra a week that is ten dollars a month. Some people need that $10 dollars a month for food. People make a choice it's either take the bus or have that bolonga & cheese sandwich. Could you please stop with this argument? This scenario/ploy is so played out, having been used in my memory back in the 1980s every time someone threatened to do something about Social Security funding problems. If you are that low in income, the foodstamp program definitely allows you to qualify, so at least you'll have food coming in. Now programs like that and other community outreach ones, if you decide to not use them or take advantage of the help, that's on you, and don't blame everyone else for your predicament. Choices -- including transportation -- are a part of life. If you CHOOSE, for whatever reason, to use public transportation, you may have to forego something else because of your finances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousNYLover Posted September 5, 2015 Share #4493 Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) $2.50 extra a week that is ten dollars a month. Some people need that $10 dollars a month for food. People make a choice it's either take the bus or have that bolonga & cheese sandwich. I also agree with DetSmart45. Most people use food stamps or some people signed up for reward cards to get some foods cheaper. Blind and disabled riders who cannots use fixed-route buses paid $3.75 for Able-Ride paratransit, which is higher than fixed-route. In my neighborhood Jackson Heights, many supermarkets which we have about 8 supermarkets and they accepted Food Stamps including many deli stores. Also some people looks for people's garbage to look for recycle bottles and they could exchange bottles for money. These are example of Food Stamp program. http://www1.nyc.gov/nyc-resources/service/1113/food-stamps http://www.nassaucountyny.gov/1905/Supplemental-Nutrition-Assistance-Progra http://www.suffolkcountyny.gov/Departments/SocialServices/SNAPSupplementalNutritionAssistanceProgram.aspx There are good samitras who volunteers to give out food to poor classes, well as homeless people, or volunteer with church. If you seen TV, I'm sure you saw the TV commercial to help poor children today by calling hotline, etc. Many folks do and so does many supermarkets.

FamousNYLover Posted September 5, 2015 Share #4495 Posted September 5, 2015 Also during Sunday, some churches open up their door to feed hungry homeless residents. Here is another example why many churches or organizations give out free food to low income people. Back to NICE Bus, I'm organizing NICE Bus schedule change in more detail way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamousNYLover Posted September 5, 2015 Share #4497 Posted September 5, 2015 You just spammed a topic about buses with THREE posts about the homeless in a row. Stop. I was only telling John from Flushing about Food Stamp program b/c he don't know how to sent private message and he tells NICE Bus riders don't want to pay another fare and he was comparing to food price. I was explaint to him there's low income folks apply for Food Stamp Program, so they can save money for bus ride. Back to NICE Bus, on Wednesday, August 19th, 16:43 n81 Hicksville never showed up at Sunrise Mall. Few days ago, three n20 buses never showed up at Flushing-Main St. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Flushing Posted September 5, 2015 Share #4498 Posted September 5, 2015 Hi, I am waiting for a N20 at Roosevelt av & Main Street for 15 minutes & saw 4 Q12 buses go by. Where is the N20?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtatransit Posted September 5, 2015 Share #4499 Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) For some strange reason the N20 during rush hour alway leaves Hicksville in bunches. Like the 5:48 and the 6:02PM. They would leave together and make the same stop, including all the deviations into the colleges. The 2nd N20 will follow the 1st one running empty until Great Neck, where the buses will get full, while the first one is packed. Why do both buses HAVE to enter the colleges, when no one is boarding or deboarding? Isn't one bus enough? Is it against the rules to not enter the colleges?

John from Flushing Posted September 5, 2015 Share #4500 Posted September 5, 2015 I agree NICE buses should NOT enter the college, not college students have a car or there parents take them, on a side note famous, thank u for the helpfull ideas so the poor people like me can apply for food stamps & get some food, I took N20 nice bus # 1523 to great neck to go to my aunt / grandmother house in great neck she is going to print me conducter exam notice for mta, & also help me apply for food stamp benefits. n20 passed 6 Q12 on norther blvd I don't get why q12 is so slow, n20 fly bye. It's like taking a train compared to q12. Famous nyc conducter exam is out maybe you should apply. I would drive NICE bus but I don't driver license now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
