Around 21:30, RIDE Bus came back westbound on 42nd St, I dance my flashmob as I saw my friends who were working onboard the RIDE (from last time, when I got on for my X-mas present from last year I think). I chased the entertainment bus through crowded tourists 42nd St area, and caught up at 6th Av, through Construction maze, dance as I checked Ice Cream truck's licence plate to see if it was good ice cream truck, then chased to Times Sq like maniac. Near Times Square, I darted between tourists and food vendor (they must have been surprised), and propelry even RIDE Agents and tourists that were on were surprise how I could catch up with them. I was sounding siren as I chase the RIDE bus through crowded 42nd Street. As I crossed Times Sq, I circle myself after helping eastbound bus traffic to go through.

B35 via Church Posted April 2, 2013 Share #3 Posted April 2, 2013 I remember I used to do these trip reports.... Anyway.... lol.... What's with all the single-digit minute rides though.... How do you get to enjoy anything; knowing that you're on edge in having to get off the bus soon..... The subway I can understand, the bus... not so much.... To each his own, I guess....

FamousNYLover Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted April 2, 2013 I actual use my watch (correct time I set with Time and Date.com Just in case, if no one knows, "Experience the RIDE" bus, here is pic. I was chasing this entertainment bus on tourist crowded 42nd Street from 5th Av to west side of 7th Av, ducking between food vendor and tourists, through construction site and caught up with 6th Av and Broadway.

User Posted April 3, 2013 Share #6 Posted April 3, 2013 I went bus fanning on my birthday last year and I thought it was fun. The subway just doesn't interest me like it does some of you here, but we all like to spend our birthdays different ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted April 3, 2013 Share #7 Posted April 3, 2013 I actual use my watch (correct time I set with Time and Date.com... o....kay..... I should hope you were using a watch of some sort & not an abacus...... lol.... Whatever happened to going out and having a quiet dinner on one's birthday? I'd be so tired after all of that I'd just want to shower and go to sleep. I don't even do anything out of the ordinary on my birthday anymore.... I went bus fanning on my birthday last year and I thought it was fun. The subway just doesn't interest me like it does some of you here, but we all like to spend our birthdays different ways.

B35 via Church Posted April 3, 2013 Share #9 Posted April 3, 2013 It's this site I meant. timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=179/ Dude, I wasn't questioning how wrong or right your duration on these buses were.... When I said single digit minute rides, all I'm saying is I don't see how you can spend 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 6 minutes, 2 minutes, 6 minutes on a bus.... having to get off buses so quickly & all that... but again, whatever.....
