Amtrak7 Posted April 15, 2012 Share #26 Posted April 15, 2012 How was n6X ridership to/from Westminster Rd and Terrace Ave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N6 Limited Posted April 15, 2012 Share #27 Posted April 15, 2012 I really do question why they cut the Franklin Avenue stop from the n6X. I can understand people going straight to the from Hempstead but what about people waiting closer to Elmont? Those people will have to wait for the N6 Local to take them to F Train. Well, that's the issue, isn't it? Since the Express bypasses so many stops, all of the riders using any non express stop HAS to use the local, the result is that the local gets so packed that by the time it gets to Elmont, no one can board the bus! What NICE didn't take into account is that the majority of riders going to/from the subway are in Elmont or Franklin Square. The Majority going to Hempstead are in Eastern Queens/Elmont/Franklin Square. The Express bypasses those stops. So for now the bus runs light, they'll add Meacham Ave to fill more seats and hope that they get new riders to take advantage of the quicker ride for cheaper price, over the LIRR or Driving.

Amtrak7 Posted April 15, 2012 Share #28 Posted April 15, 2012 Just saw this on a 1700's side sign: (each line is a frame!) N79 HICKSVILLE N79 LIRR N79 VIA OLD N79 COUNTRY N79 ROAD How much worse can they get?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmatechamp13 Posted April 15, 2012 Share #29 Posted April 15, 2012 I assume the reason 169th as an express stop isn't used is because there is more space at 179th. It is going to take some time for folks to adjust their commuting patterns and while NICE has done a good job at communicating changes, people are creatures of habit. The 165st terminal also used to get a lot of Hempstead bound riders who would often walk from the E/J/Z trains at Jamaica. I think it was purely to save money. They figured that most of the riders were probably coming from the , so there's no point in going further than 179th Street (though as you pointed out, some may come from the E/J/Z trains) Those people will have to wait for the N6 Local to take them to F Train. And therein lies the problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamousNYLover Posted August 5, 2012 Share #36 Posted August 5, 2012 There's mistake for n58 detour. Veolia forgot N58 in morning goes clockwise toward left, but detour notice only shows detour for counter clockwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nostalgia Posted August 6, 2012 Share #39 Posted August 6, 2012 They don't put all route timetables in the rack next to the dispatcher's window. I was able to get N6 and N70 from operators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousNYLover Posted August 22, 2012 Share #40 Posted August 22, 2012 I caught 5 typos. 1. What Q37 doing on Bell Blvd near 48th Av? 2. What What Q6 looking at Union Turnpike in Oakland Gardens? 3. They also forgot to put Q12. 4. Veolia put Q64 spelled backward with Q46. 5. Q36 and n6 route shown on 212th Place instead of Francis Lewis Blvd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmatechamp13 Posted August 22, 2012 Share #41 Posted August 22, 2012 The Q36 does go on 212th Place. For the other ones, they meant the Q31 & QM6. For the Q12, there's really no point since it parallels the N20/21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted August 25, 2012 Share #42 Posted August 25, 2012 They're also missing Murray Hill LIRR station. Surprised nobody caught this yet...they spelled Hicksville wrong on the cover of the n78/79 schedule, both paper and online! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrstone Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share #48 Posted September 2, 2012 It's a holiday weekend I bet they won't be available until Tuesday or later as Veolia offices are closed. They should have been posted on Friday or before to allow people to plan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted September 2, 2012 Share #49 Posted September 2, 2012 They didn't even put schedules in the buses or anything. They should have done something Saturday. What with NCC's semester starting Tuesday, I hope nothing goes too wrong. OW already started classes and NICE isn't planning on altering the 20/21 schedules any time soon.

They should have been posted on Friday or before to allow people to plan... The website said schedules would be released at terminals last week. Clearly, they didn't want to put two sets of timetables on the website. They just forgot to update the website. A call to customer service on Tuesday might spark a reaction.
