mac5689 Posted November 4, 2008 Share #27 Posted November 4, 2008 WHAT!!:eek: You do realize that if Suffolk Transit wants low floors(if they will get them)they will be Gillig Advantages! I dont mind tha Gillig BRT, but sitting down in an Advantage is very hard for me to do. I also feel sorry for the B/Os that will get stuck drivin those things. When i lived in Kansas City, MO, my friends complained about their backs hurting because of those Advantage seating issues. Suffolk Transit has 5 Gillig BRT low floors at EBT yard's. they are waiting for plates and will be running of the S1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonOfAllBuses Posted December 10, 2008 Share #28 Posted December 10, 2008 It's all the MTA in the end, though. Having Suffolk absorbed into the MTA would be more exciting. Just imagine a fun pass taking you the Hamptons. Speaking of Suffolk, I saw a news clip about a week ago that said something about the taking over LIB and SCT. I know I'm not hearing stuff, cause I saw the news. I just dont see the taking over SCT! I do have some ideas for some SCT service adjustments, but i dont think that Suffolk "Extreme Suburbs" County is ready for (MTA)Bus just yet.

I know I'm not hearing stuff, cause I saw the news. I just dont see the taking over SCT! I do have some ideas for some SCT service adjustments, but i dont think that Suffolk "Extreme Suburbs" County is ready for (MTA)Bus just yet. the MTA isn't getting SCT. the county won't let them. thats what Newsday thought the MTA report would say and because someone at MTA Bus wants to add Suffolk, but like i said it won't happen. County Executive Steve Levy doesn't like the MTA's report because of the tolls on the bridge and having businesses that aren't served by the MTA have to bail them out (or something like that) this comes form the report: "This recommendation includes authorization to allow, but does not require, the counties within the MTA District to enter into agreements for MTA assumption of bus service." i have one problem though with them using the word "metropolitan region", i mean if people consider Suffolk County part of the "metropolitan region" then a clam could be made to say that the part of New Jersey that boarders New York Harbor is in the New York Metropolitan Region or the part of Connecticut that borders Westchester is in the New York Metropolitan Region. but no where did you hear that the MTA should takeover that part of NJ Transit, or who ever runs that part of Connecticut's transit system. but the MTA truly doesn't want Suffolk because stated in the report is that they had "conducted public hearings in New York,Nassau and Westchester Counties", what about Suffolk County. they never said they had a hearing in Suffolk, so it shows that maybe Newsday was over stating and confusing LIB with SCT like they always do. now where in the report did it say anything about taking over other transit systems othere then what i quoted from the report.

Forest Glen Posted December 10, 2008 Share #30 Posted December 10, 2008 The MTA can't even handle the current system. They shouldn't be looking to expand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TransitMan Posted January 16, 2009 Share #32 Posted January 16, 2009 I just received a text message from Ozzy (if you guys know him on this board), he saw an Orion 05.501 CNG #3xx (in the 300 series) with the destination sign saying, N15 Long Beach LIRR Station via Long Beach Rd via (He could not read it) Just a few seconds ago, I have received another text the the sign on Orion 05.501 CNG #165 has changed it's REAR destination signs to look more like the MTA NYCT/MTA Bus. Anotherwords, you don't see the "N15"...you now see "n15" or a smaller capital-sized "N". I think you guys understand what I'm getting at here. As for the FRONT destination sign, he was not able to tell because of the sunglare. Again, this infomation comes from Ozzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamousNYLover Posted January 16, 2009 Share #34 Posted January 16, 2009 Maybe, Suffolk County Transit should upgrade their farebox to accept any MetroCard, dollar bills, coins, the way SEPTA's fare structure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
