N6 Limited Posted November 13, 2015 Share #4751 Posted November 13, 2015 Other then those riders needing it to get to College, did those 12 people say or share any other info. Say like how many riders rode the route while they were one, how many people they have seen riding the route when a bus has gone by them, or how many people from the college actually rides the bus. I mean just because (at least) 12 people ride the bus and need it doesn't mean it should be kept. It makes no sence to keep a route that they aren't at least breaking even on. So unless they can prove that data that the route actually breaks even and does better then other routes, there is nothing they can do. Nobody and I mean nobody is going to keep a route just because 12 people need it/ use it. What they should be doing is going to the college and asking them to provide some type of transportation to some spot where these people could have access to better transportation. Or if not see if the college would pay Nassau for the service. Yeah from their studies there are like 5 people per trip on the route. It's kind of wasteful to have to line running all day when there are about 12 (possibly) riders that use the bus to go to the school which is most likely only in the morning and afternoon. (The bus runs hourly anyway). It's a small school they may not even have night classes. Perhaps they could modify the N80 to take a slight detour past the school or something. They have the passenger counting system up and running so they KNOW just how many people get on and off by the school (and all other stops for that matter). I'd like to know their findings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted November 14, 2015 Share #4752 Posted November 14, 2015 Saw 1888 and another XN40 on the n4 earlier. The other XN40 was going too fast for me to catch the number. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hound Posted November 14, 2015 Share #4753 Posted November 14, 2015 Do you remember the last time the small factory building by Lynbrook station was open, right beside where the Great Neck-bound N25s start their trip? Yeah-1925 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGMR Posted November 17, 2015 Share #4758 Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) I just saw one of the new XD40s go by on the N27. Looked pretty slick. Wish I had a need to ride it; I would've if I did. Funny thing is that it was preceded by an Orion V with a broken destination sign. The part where it would normally say the route number said "NOT", as in "Not in Service", while the other side was working as normal, so the destination sign said "NOT GLEN COVE". <3 NICE Edited November 17, 2015 by JGMR 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Up Front Posted November 19, 2015 Share #4762 Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) Where are the Foothill buses now that the XN40s are already on Long Island? I saw a Foothill Orion V a few days ago on the N16 but I couldn't see the number from where I was.

Q113 LTD Posted November 24, 2015 Share #4768 Posted November 24, 2015 It was my luck. Just got off the N6 to catch the N32 and an XN40 bus came. I saw two more XN40 buses on the N31/N32 when I left Hemp Transit Ctr. Got off at the last stop. My phone took forever to get the picture to focus. Orion V CNG engine trouble I guess 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrivera Posted November 26, 2015 Share #4771 Posted November 26, 2015 On Tuesday I saw two NICE buses heading north on I95 in VA of all places. I barely see NICE buses back home (Ive never ever been to Eastern Queens let alone LI), yet I see not one but two while I'm on vacation, go figure ???? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q113 LTD Posted November 26, 2015 Share #4772 Posted November 26, 2015 I remember when I took the N4 from Freeport to Jamaica a few weeks ago, the bus driver was talking on the radio and the bus had made a detour and made a left turn from Merrick Rd and drove on Sunrise Highway between Peninsula Blvd & Horton Av. I guess there was an accident. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
