CDTA Posted September 16, 2014 Share #26 Posted September 16, 2014 May be heading down to the city this weekend, should I just go to a popular terminal and wait, or since I don't have a smart phone stay at home until it shows up on bustime?

Unfortunately for you, there is no official main-WF bus route terminal GWB is the only one (Bx11, Bx35, Bx36) West Farms Square (Bx9, Bx21, Bx36) Westchester Sqaure (Bx8, Bx31, Bx21) The Hub has four routes (Bx15, Bx19, Bx21, Bx32) spread over two blocks, but I'd be careful in that area. Not the worse, but once in a while, it can be kinda rowdy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, i'm thinking if I go that route i'm gonna do GWB, cause it has the most non-artics and i'm actually familar with the area unlike the other three Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the GWB. The Bx36 has over 40 buses in service at that time, there's a good chance of catching one. Plus, around that area you can catch the , , , M3, M100, M101, down some stops and get the Bx33, Bx19, Bx6, and the Bx15. If you have the MTA Tracker app, you can plan better.

Here's what I did: Bx35: 181st Street. I went up to St. Nicholas and Amsterdam. Bx11. Same. Bx6: 157th and Riverside Drive. Bx17 Fordham Plaza. Bx8: Westchester Square. The 8 I caught was a 31 that changed to an 8. The key is to go to terminals or where you know the bus will definitely stop. Also, make sure to catch the destination sign and not the ''via'' wherever it is it's going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted September 17, 2014 Share #33 Posted September 17, 2014 Also, make sure to catch the destination sign and not the ''via'' wherever it is it's going. IMO, the via or destination sign is fair game. It's not like one is more important, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll probably have a suitable chance of finding one there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, the destination sign is more important than the via sign, but i've gotten plenty of via signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks more formal and proper and on RTS', you won't get many chances. There are some routes(6,17,33,46) where there is no via. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
