Foamtastic Bus Fantasy Timetable Covers

[Mysterious2train 581]

Just something done out of boredom. I tried to emulate the style of the SBS schedule, except for the fully local routes because I couldn't decide on a color scheme. Inkscape doesn't recognize some of the MTA's fonts so they look weird. Put in spoiler tags to save space. Random date chosen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There was this other thread were somebody else made another type of schedule, it looked really cool. I'll try and pull it up.

 

Oh yeah, here's some I made a while ago, except these I just copy and pasted to make on Paint, I didn't use Inkscape.

EPIC (wait for it) FOAAAAAAAAM!

[TheSubwayStation 908]

TMF!

 

(Too Much Fowm)

[Mysterious2train 581]

Edited OP to include some I made a while ago.

The foam was kinda inevitable.

Timetable covers don't mean much, but I guess I could make some for you guys. They're not hard to make.

[Threxx 1,833]

WELL I SHALL MAKE A REQUEST:

 

Normal cover:

 

Route: B33

 

Local Service

 

Between Kings Plaza Shopping Center and Bensonhurst, Brooklyn.

[Mysterious2train 581]

Streets used? I realized I left that out of my local timetables, but I'll include it.

Avenue X.

For the local ones, I'm using a mix of the MTA Bus and the NYCT timetables, in anticipation of the eventual merger.

[TrainFanInfinity 166]

Can I has one too, please?

 

Routes: Q11 Local, Q21 Local, Q52 Limited, Q53 Limited, Q53X Express(Green)

(Q11, Q21, Q52 on top row. Q53 services on bottom row.)

Style: Like sign #1

Neighborhoods: Services between Woodside or Rego Park to Howard Beach or The Rockaways.

Streets: Via Woodhaven/Cross Bay Boulevards.

 

*If you don't do that many routes, do the Q53 services only, and change this:

Neighborhoods: Services between Woodside to Rockaway Park.

 

Thanks in advance! Btw, your signs are cool!

Please can you make NYCT bus schedule-style for NICE N22, N22A, N22L, N22X?

BTW. there's a typo on one of your schedules. The B46 local doesn't end in Bedford-Stuvesant.

 

But in any case, nice work!

[VWM 404]

Great job! Can I have an express one for the QM30, express daily service between Jamaica and Roosevelt Island via LIE

[Mysterious2train 581]

BTW. there's a typo on one of your schedules. The B46 local doesn't end in Bedford-Stuvesant.

 

But in any case, nice work!

 

 

Thanks! Also misspelled the Bridge in Williamsburg Bridge Plaza as Brudge, but I've fixed them!

New covers:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yeah, if you want a certain style [sBS-style or Original Timetable-style] specify. Generally, I'll use the original template for Local routes and color schemes I don't think work good on the SBS format, and use the SBS format for everything else.

 

I may not be able to make any tomorrow.

 

 

 

Gee, another Brooklyn-JFK route would rock!

n2/n8 Long Island Jewish Hospital-Green Acres Loop via Little Neck Parkway, Meacham-Franklin Avs

 

N24-

East Meadow branch local.

Hicksville-Jamaica, Limited-Stop.

[TrainFanInfinity 166]

Thanks a bunch! They look awesome, even though you make a spelling mistake (again ) Croos Bay Blvd? Where's that?

[Quill Depot 1,570]

Excellent, may I have one: can I have an M14A/D cover in the SBS style. Thanks so much.

[Mysterious2train 581]

Constant typos! I'm screwing up. Covers coming tomorrow, guys.

[Threxx 1,833]

Gee, another Brooklyn-JFK route would rock!

 

 

Lol, I had an idea for a limited bus route from Prospect Park to JFK via Linden Blvd, and it was ALSO numbered the B22

[JennM7Lover 95]

How do you do these?!?!?!...These are awesome man!!! :tup :tup :tup !!

[Mysterious2train 581]

Thanks a lot!

 

I used a program called Inkscape.

 

I just downloaded the schedules, imported the first page of each into Inkscape, and then changed the text/messed with the colors. Oversimplifying, but that's the gist of it.

[Threxx 1,833]

Can I make another request?

 

Local bus route, as of September 4th, 2013:

 

Route: B22

Service between Willamsburg and Greenpoint

Via Kent/Wythe Avs.

[Mysterious2train 581]

There you go.
