jgood6195 Posted February 8, 2013 Share #3 Posted February 8, 2013 Just hope that the new NICE drivers are skilled enough to handle driving in the snow if need be. I imagine that some routes will have to be short turned to avoid dangerous areas as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamousNYLover Posted February 8, 2013 Share #6 Posted February 8, 2013 There are lots of hilly areas in Long Island, so properly NICE might properly suspend some bus routes that goes on hill. If storm was worst, properly it might suspend service with MTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User Posted February 8, 2013 Share #10 Posted February 8, 2013 There are lots of hilly areas in Long Island, so properly NICE might properly suspend some bus routes that goes on hill. If storm was worst, properly it might suspend service with MTA. Most likely, they'll give detours if service is still running. Don't be ridiculous, they have before, what's stopping them now? If the county asks people to stay off the road, the buses will be stopped. Its not up to NICE, its up to the higher power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrstone Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share #11 Posted February 8, 2013 You gave a bad link: http://www.nicebus.com/Passenger_Information/StormWatch/index.html Fixed, this is the 3rd time I edited, I dunno why it didn't work before. Oh well... Don't be ridiculous, they have before, what's stopping them now? Was there a blizzard when NICE was in control.

With 8+ inches I think it will be pretty safe to say there will be no LIRR, SCT, or NICE running on Long Island... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinePower Posted February 10, 2013 Share #13 Posted February 10, 2013 I will have to give credit where credit is due, NICE did a much better job keeping people informed about the conditions during this snowstorm than the MTA. And all the buses I took this afternoon came on schedule. In this case, NICE did a better job than LI Bus did after similar storms in the past.

User Posted February 10, 2013 Share #14 Posted February 10, 2013 NICE has been very good with keeping people informed on most things through their Facebook page. I usually get a fast response on there too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
