FamousNYLover Posted June 10, 2013 Share #1401 Posted June 10, 2013 n2 And I bet you're complaining for them on the NICE Facebook page, right!? No wonder NICE ignores alot of stuff you post on their page... Depends on how many passengers that is. You can't please everyone but if it's quite a bunch complaining than they should complain directly at NICE. The more people that complain directly, the bigger the chance they will look into it. Furthermore I agree with Brett, although I guess that was pretty obvious given the rep vote. n26 carries lots of passengers. Every n26 bus I have seen is SRO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share #1402 Posted June 10, 2013 n2 n26 carries lots of passengers. Every n26 bus I have seen is SRO. That doesn't mean every passenger wants the time changed. If the bus is SRO or even no room, that means a majority of them would not want it changed to a later time because they're on that bus then anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They finally got the message that those N31 short turns (or whatever you call them) at Lynbrook were almost empty? Jeez... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite creative, lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted June 11, 2013 Share #1410 Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) And whats with the n2/8 routing always being changed almost every service change. I wonder if the Hempstead Tpke Routing even had any riders. Had the n8 been a Hempstead to Green Acres route like originally planned by the MTA, it wouldnt be as bad as now.

SevenEleven Posted June 11, 2013 Share #1411 Posted June 11, 2013 Also, I'm seeing less and less of the Orion V CNGs. I had to Port Washington today and going back and forth on Northern Blvd, all I saw were NGs and 3Gs, mostly 1700s and the 3Gs (Not many of the 1800 NGs). Saw 1625 on the n4 today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's no excuse for a B/O to have his eyes off the road, even if he is inching along the road. The bus is still in motion. Most drivers does that, including MTA operators. OH RIGHT! I forgot, because the does it, that its OK for the B/O to take his eyes off the road and catch up on the sports section. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share #1420 Posted June 12, 2013 Its funny looking back to some of the things I proposed to changing Long Island Bus back in 2011 that I see now were just plain dumb and not thought out: http://www.nyctransitforums.com/forums/topic/27493-my-propositon-to-reforming-long-island-bus-routes/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vistausss Posted June 12, 2013 Share #1421 Posted June 12, 2013 Most drivers does that, including MTA operators. I've also see drivers do that in my country and even a few in Belgium. Doesn't mean it's okay. They should keep their eyes on the road at all times. At a terminal, it's okay if they read the newspaper while people board but not in congested traffic. Doesn't matter that probably every company has o/ps that do that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petabread Posted June 12, 2013 Share #1423 Posted June 12, 2013 So yesterday was a bad day for me and nice, I haven't been on a nice bus in months and I had to go to Roosevelt field, got to hillside ave and Francis Lewis at 2:10, the first and only n22 showed up at 3:30, one n24 showed up but it broke down. Next, well, simultaneously, from 2:30 to 3:10 there were no n6 buses, the line stretched from the corner to all the way passed the n22 stop. When the bus finally got there somehow I squeezed in and we didn't stop till new Hyde park, the look of pissed off people as we flew by them. Wow, the bus driver called his command center and the conversation lasted two seconds. I asked the driver what happened he shrugged his shoulder and said its normal for buses to be missing, he hasn't had a normal work day since joining nice. He claims and I don't know how valid the claim is but there are drivers at nice who go to the depot and stay there because of buses that are broken down and runs just go missing. Whatever happened yesterday though was a new low. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmatechamp13 Posted June 12, 2013 Share #1424 Posted June 12, 2013 Wait, if you caught the N6 at 3:10, how did you know an N22 didn't show up until 3:30? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever happened yesterday though was a new low. In that case they probably did that under LIB too since half of the NICE drivers are former LIB drivers, as was pointed out recently in this thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
