46Dover Posted March 16, 2013 Share #1 Posted March 16, 2013 While on my way to Willis Hobbies in Mineola from the Northern State Pkwy, I couldn't help to notice that MTA Long Island Bus stop sign were still up (I was on Willis Ave). Anyone else see any signs up and around out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MTA Bus Posted March 16, 2013 Share #2 Posted March 16, 2013 Most of the bus stops still say Long Island Bus on them. NICE just put stickers over it if the route(s) had a service change. They also still have the N6 Limited sign at Hempstead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
46Dover Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted March 16, 2013 These could pass for MTA memorabilia, think so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User Posted March 16, 2013 Share #4 Posted March 16, 2013 These could pass for MTA memorabilia, think so? Yes, and as NICE plans to replace them soon, I've suggested they auction off the old Long Island Bus signs to the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brokecrazy Posted May 28, 2013 Share #7 Posted May 28, 2013 Yes, and as NICE plans to replace them soon, I've suggested they auction off the old Long Island Bus signs to the public. I emailed them the same idea, and asked for a free one for suggesting the idea. Meanwhile I won one on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamousNYLover Posted May 29, 2013 Share #14 Posted May 29, 2013 I moved to NYC in Feb 1996, so I don't know so much about history of transit (including NICE, LIB, Bee-Line Bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vistausss Posted May 30, 2013 Share #15 Posted May 30, 2013 Yes there was a Bus from Jamaica, the JB24 (now basically parts of the n6/n51) I was actually talking about the sign he found, I wanted to see a picture of that piece of history, but thanks for learning me a bit of history I moved to NYC in Feb 1996, so I don't know so much about history of transit (including NICE, LIB, Bee-Line Bus. That's not an excuse to not do research on the main transportation system you use (NICE and previously LIB and what preceded that). Hell, even I know the history of those two to some extent and I live across the ocean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
