I wore orange vest I bought few days ago and put sign with magic marker, "OFFICIAL TRANSIT ADVOCATES" "TRANSPORTATION GUIDE" with Long Island Bus Rider Union/NICE Bus.

I cross over and make sure with Bx15 Fordham Plaza driver to comfirm Bx41 SBS is running, so when I got into 125th St Station, police officers were looking confused with orange vest I was wearing.

At Fordham Plaza, Bx15's new pic up was where dispatcher's bus used to park and facing toward west.

 

After I ask MaBSTOA driver where was Bx41 SBS and I said thank you.

 

When I got to Webster Av/Fordham Rd, there was one eagle Team who remember me from Bx12 or M15 SBS.

I boarded the The HUB-bound Bx41 SBS #5782 departed 9:19. Female driver who used to do M3/M4 was driving the Kingsbridge bus.

(Only during the parade and animal protect, I decided to eat vegan snack. It was crowded with marchers, but line went quick.

 

After I comfirm with police officer on Correction Bus if I could cross 5th Av and she nodded and cross 5th Av, show Group ID number to NYPD went to 38th St group. I asked marcher where was this section and they were kind. New York Clean Lilable for Safer Street and Goosewatch NYC was joing the Heritage Parade for first time.

Red t-shirt was ANYONE BUT QUINN and WHITE WAS NY CLASS T-shirt.

I wasn't comfortable with long wait, but to help express to help animal, I joined them with parade. I joined MFA last year.

I saw Jim Huffman's friend (former librarian from 96th St Library Branch) when I went to look for "DEFEAT CHRISTINE QUINN/QUEERS AGAiNST CHRISTINE QUINN group who happen to be at same block on 38th St us between 5th & 6th Avs and they had sign that says, LGBTA against Christine Quinn" block long flier.

After I got soda to use restroom at diner, then went to get snack. I didn't know it was going to be long wait before our turn to march. NY Class and Goosewatch NYC had horse carriage protest banner. On my Goosewatch NYC t-shirt, I bought horse carriage and I love Goose and added HORSE.

Our group started around 2:30pm and we teamed up and catch up with Anti-Christine Quinn group and we hold protest rally signs like CHRISTINE QUINN'S HUMAN RIGHT- REPORT CARD D+, CHRISTINE QUIIN SLUSH FUND, QUINN BLOCKS ANIMALS BILLS, etc."

Lots of parade spectulars were mixed with Quinn supporters and anti-Quinn supporters.

I even thought the parade spectuars high in luxury building no one seem to notice.

When we were crossing wear cars are also allowed to cross, we hold up sign.

We came to end near Greenwich St/Christopher St around 17:25.

I ran to 101 Clark St for Citizens Defending Public Library and Carolyn McIntires were also in parade with Tshi James (correct me) marching in the parade also. I almost overshoot because I was running to make it to meeting and meeting was wrapping up.

 

After discussing library caravassing, I didn't know Brooklyn Heights Library closed 1pm on Monday. THAT'S INSANE!!

NJT officials were looking at my orange vest as I went to get my lunch at internet cafe. Internet Cafe at pizza place was not accepting cash, and when I asked how much is slice, he gave me pizza and he told me he pay for you. I said thank you and went to get ham sandwitch and use internet there while I was eating.

I checked internet there to sent my mom I will be home late.

 

After using 40 minutes, I went to DANY Studio, Studio 7 for Midnight Flashmob rehersal with KINESIS Project.

 

After rehearsal ended at 22:00, our flashmob location was foot of Times Sq TKTS at 11:30pm.

I call from payphone and heard to Times Sq TKTS.

Due to crowd, we had to change the surprise birthday flashmob for Midnight Flashmob by Hot Dog Stand that was on Broadway pedestiran plaza.

At cue, we performed MIDNIGHT LIGHT UP FLASHMOB with lights.

Around 12:15, we went to 7th floor bar area of Westin Hotel for flashmob surirpise party, where I only drink Coke and  used internet at hotel to check if train was running normal.

lol..... I've commented on his single-digit minute trips on buses before in one of his trip reports.... I can understand making multiple xfers w/i the subway system & spending say 2-3 mins on a particular ride [for example, doing the >> & spending 2-3 mins on the ], but from bus to bus or w/e, I wouldn't bother doing it.....

 

this whole part right here:

14 minutes on the Bx41 from Fordham Plaza to the Hub? Was your bus operator flooring it? The schedule gives 20 minutes for a trip like that. Maybe it permits too much time.
