FamousNYLover Posted February 18, 2015 Share #2 Posted February 18, 2015 I like all routes because they travel through beautiful scenics. Beautiful scenic routes I love are n1, n2/8, n14, n15, n16/17, n19, n20/L/21, n22/A/X, n23, n24, n25, n26, n27, n31/32, n33, n35, n36, n43, n45, n46, n48/49, n50, n51, n54/55, n62, n70/71/72, n78/79, n80/81, n87/88. My favorite bus to ride are all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N6 Limited Posted February 18, 2015 Share #6 Posted February 18, 2015 I like the N1 because it comes to the rescue when the N6 is late/crowded/flagging. I like the N6 because it's frequent. I hate the N6 because of flagging and lateness. I also like the N4, N15, N16, N25, N35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Favorite: N1 Hewlett to Green Acres Mall N4 N31/N32 Hate: None because like I said, I don't use NICE bus very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N6 Limited Posted February 19, 2015 Share #9 Posted February 19, 2015 I forgot about the N31/N32, they're pretty quick between 5 corners and Hempstead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY1635 Posted February 19, 2015 Share #10 Posted February 19, 2015 I forgot about the N31/N32, they're pretty quick between 5 corners and Hempstead Most likely because virtually no one uses the stops between 5 corners and Fulton Avenue. It's a shame because the n31/32 go through some pretty nice areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted February 19, 2015 Share #11 Posted February 19, 2015 The n31 and 32 can get hung up if West Hempstead trains come through. The traffic can also get pretty bad when it gets into West Hempstead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamousNYLover Posted February 20, 2015 Share #13 Posted February 20, 2015 And I love n4X, n6X, n20L, n22X because it's faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted February 20, 2015 Share #14 Posted February 20, 2015 The most congested part of the route is bet. Lynbrook & Far Rockaway. It gets especially bad in between Sunrise Highway and the Hempstead Avenue/Franklin split. I don't think I've ever seen a bus on either route get through there in less than 10 minutes.

Joel Up Front Posted February 22, 2015 Share #17 Posted February 22, 2015 The Orion Vs are old and the power loss they've suffered shows but I'd much rather be on a crowded Orion V than a crowded VII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted February 22, 2015 Share #18 Posted February 22, 2015 - I like what NICE did with the n24 & the n78/79... There were MUCH less people riding from east of Hicksville towards RFM & Mineola than there are people west of Mineola riding to RFM & Mineola.... MTA never figured that out w/ old country rd. service, which led to a gross waste of mileage running n78's & n79's west of HIcksville.... - I hated the experimentation & implementation of the n22x & n22L... They gave up on the n22L because the east of RFM folks benefited more from 22x trips.... I said on here before that they didn't need 22x's, 22L's, and 22's (the 24 if you want count it too, but it's not a part of the 22 service) running from Hicksville to Jamaica.... IMO, all they had to do was [run 22x's b/w RFM & Jamaica via the n22a routing] & [run 22L's from Hicksville to Jamaica via the 22 routing].... Having 22L's skip RFM was the fatal mistake.... Having 22x's run via Mineola I don't think would be necessary if you had 22L trips running there..... This way, the n22a would still be "backup" to the n22 west of RFM, and the n22L would be the LTD counterpart of the n22... In other words, NICE has this 22x service running like a combination of local service & LTD service... I think the east of RFM folks deserve at least LTD service.... 22x's should've been assisting 22L service on top of 22 service (west of RFM), not just 22 service.... From Hicksville, while the 22 garners much more of the usage than the 24, service east of RFM doesn't need 22x trips as much of service west of it does, because that are far more riders riding from "the city" (when I say that, I mean the boroughs) towards RFM, then there are those riding from areas b/w Hicksville to RFM, to RFM & points west.... You dedicate faster service to the market where there are the most riders that would benefit from it the most.... So what do I think should happen w/ 22 service in a nutshell... put it like this: east of RFM & west of RFM (in other words, service from Hicksville to Jamaica) - would have local service & LTD service (22, 22L) east of RFM only - would have local service & LTD service (22, 22L) west of RFM only - would have local service, LTD service, and "express" service (22, 22a, 22L, 22x) LTD's would run throughout most of the day... 22x trips would run rush hours only in the reverse peak direction (like it currently does)... The 22 routing would be left alone, 22a routing would be left alone, 22L routing would be the same as the current 22x, 22x routing would be the same as the current 22a.... My rendition of a 22x would stop at RFM, Hillside/Willis, Hillside/NHP, Hillside/Springfield, 179th st , 165th st terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted February 22, 2015 Share #19 Posted February 22, 2015 Doesn't have to be like like I broke down the 22x/22L, but can someone explain the debacle of the n6x? I've noticed some posts on here stating how the old LTD was better than the current x trips.... Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed some posts on here stating how the old LTD was better than the current x trips.... Thanks. The n6X made too few stops in Nassau and even fewer in Queens. It basically started in Hempstead and went all the way out to 179th Street with three stops in Nassau and nothing in Queens until 179th. NICE forgot that there were stops in between Hempstead and Jamaica that people actually used and by the time they realized it, it was too late.
