Superstorm Sandy: After the Storm: NYC Bus Service

[Threxx 1,833]

So, LTD bus service will be resuming this evening, which HOPEFULLY means the B43 will be running... I know most of Manhattan south of 42nd Street will not have service, and the Woodhaven routes will probably only be the Q11/Q53 between Rockaway Blvd and Pitkin Avenue...

Will bus routes in Manhattan shortturn?

[GojiMet86 4,694]

I wish they'd be more specific as to which ones will be running, but whatever. I wonder if LGA's routes will be running, or if the M60 will be running.

I would imagine routes will be shortturning at 57th, and avoiding the collapsed crane as well.

[tvega961 1,411]

But Bloomberg estimated it would be four or five days before subway service is restored. Officials said limited bus service would resume Tuesday, with fares waived.

Lhota said buses would be used to replace subway service along lines where repairs are expected to take longer.

Tomorrow is expected to be a full schedule.

Buses can start pulling out of depots as early as 3pm says an MTA spokesman on channel 7 now.

 

EDIT: Take a look at BusTime, the Bx1 is starting up out of Riverdale as I type!

This is great news. The city is already starting to move again.

[IRT Bronx Express 357]

Nice. Any partial service is better than no service.

This is an enormous task so the NYCT should be cut some slack. I would have to think that each division and depot will focus on getting the major routes up and running first. There's also a possibility that subway shuttles may have to be operated.

Thread Title changed to better reflect restart of bus service post Sandy.

I know. I just exactly didn't understand what they meant the partial service.

[Threxx 1,833]

OK, so is the MTA site down? Nothing is working there....

Yeah, that's what I meant.

The M5, M14, and M34 are now partially running. The first two are running with no traffic lights below 26th since none of us down here have power.

JG is running all bus routes, infact most of MTA routes are running but in modified Sunday schedule.

 

i dont see express buses running yet, even on BusTime

[R44 CNG 473]

I assume all of the airport routes will be short-turned.

[Interested Rider 533]

The B/44 is running from Sheepshead Bay.

 

Thank you bus drivers.
