qjtransitmaster Posted November 5, 2012 Share #276 Posted November 5, 2012 This isn't listed on the MTA website, but S89 buses are terminating at Walker Street (coming from the south), because there's no HBLR service (I don't know why they couldn't just reroute it so it connects with one of the NJT bus routes, or at least inform passengers that they can reach the #81/120 from 34th Street). I was wondering why there were so few people on the bus (Usually it's maybe 3/4 of a seated load, but today there were only like 7 people on board) I wonder if there's a sign for any S89 short-turn (not necessarily to Walker Street, but in general). On a side note, the S46 was a lot less crowded than usual for some reason..... Simple cause most S89 riders want NJ and since it isn't going to NJ people are not using it.

checkmatechamp13 Posted November 5, 2012 Share #277 Posted November 5, 2012 Simple cause most S89 riders want NJ and since it isn't going to NJ people are not using it. Where's that facepalm? Yeah, I was wondering why there were only a few people on the bus before the B/O made the announcement that the bus wasn't going to NJ. I wouldn't have said I was wondering if I didn't know the answer, now would I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dj Hammers Posted November 5, 2012 Share #278 Posted November 5, 2012 What is the status of the Q35? Where/Is it short-turning? If the Q35 is isn't running its full route, that means the only other way to get to the Rockaways on 2.25 is the arduously slow Q53 and Q52....

BM5 via Woodhaven Posted November 6, 2012 Share #287 Posted November 6, 2012 Yesterday Q29 buses were running along Eliot Avenue and 80 street. Good for me since the Q38 runs very horribly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qjtransitmaster Posted November 6, 2012 Share #288 Posted November 6, 2012 those buses won't run for long as most subways were fully restored to manhattan so I won't even bother with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted November 6, 2012 Share #289 Posted November 6, 2012 I assume this is over with the trains restored, right? Then again, for some reason I just saw two BP O7s on 57th, so maybe they're running some buses... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will end soon thank god!!!!! it was so bad you had new riders on BM lines as a direct result of sandy.

Santa Fe via Willow Posted November 13, 2012 Share #291 Posted November 13, 2012 How are & did the bus depots hold up through Sandy? Thinking of Charleston Depot in particular as it's just a stone's throw or two from the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortline Bus Posted December 6, 2012 Share #292 Posted December 6, 2012 Guys. This is not a foamer idea but a possible replacement proposal. With some new reports stating now, the service between the Rockaways and Manhattan may not return until Fall 2013 or even later, how about this idea? What about creating hourly Q52/Q53 overnight service (every 30 minutes *north of Broad Channel)between the Rockaways and Woodhaven/Queens Blvd station? This would be in addition to the shuttle bus service between the Howard Beach and Mott Ave stations? What you guys think? PS Yes i did suggest the "Q53" run hourly service overnights between Queens Blvd/Woodhaven station and the Rockaways before, so this is IMO a great time to give it a trial. I admit I don't know the Rockaways that much but a suggestion. reactions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metro CSW Posted December 6, 2012 Share #293 Posted December 6, 2012 Hmmm, I have a friend that lives in Rockaway Park. She works a shift ending in the middle of the night. She depends on the Q53 since the is slowly recovering from the "damages." I think it's a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfs NJT459 Posted December 6, 2012 Share #295 Posted December 6, 2012 while we're at it, we should make the QM16 and QM17 run all day or at least add more express buses during the peak hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted December 6, 2012 Share #296 Posted December 6, 2012 Q22 should run overnight to replace the . Q53 should run overnight between Rockaway Park and Rockaway Blvd to reduce travel time for Rock Park and serve Broad Channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted December 6, 2012 Share #297 Posted December 6, 2012 Simple solution: (this is just for late night service out there until things get back to normalcy) - Q22 retains late night service (no change) - Q35 late nights extended to arverne (same headways) - Q52 extended to far rockaway (every 30 mins) - Q53 remains w/ no service - Shuttle bus b/w howard bch & far rockaway subway stations remain..... I've recently rode the Q35 twice out there since I've started fanning late nights like this.... first time there were 4 ppl that got off with me (at 116th), the 2nd time it was only 2 other ppl..... all 6 of those total ppl in those 2 days xferred to the 22. (I'm not counting myself b/c obviously I'm not a regular commuter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortline Bus Posted December 6, 2012 Share #298 Posted December 6, 2012 Dumb Question. I thought the "Q22" did not run between 2-5am? Or was overnight service added due to the crisis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
