NewFlyer 230 Posted December 3, 2015 Share #151 Posted December 3, 2015 Just wait until it snows and artics aren't supposed to run I wonder if it will snow at all this winter. It has been pretty warm so far compared to last year, but in 2013 I believe it snowed a few times in Novermber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I do remember a few winters with very little or no snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAlam Posted December 3, 2015 Share #153 Posted December 3, 2015 All South bound Machines at Main and Kissena are down I repeat, all South bound Machines at Main and Kissena are down my guess is that it ran out of receipts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QM1to6Ave Posted December 4, 2015 Share #154 Posted December 4, 2015 The MTA worker stationed by the machines today by Union Tpke to teach people about SBS told me that you cannot use the receipts to board the Q20, since it is a different line that the Q44. I don't know if he is correct, but it is very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QM1to6Ave Posted December 6, 2015 Share #164 Posted December 6, 2015 F5 In that case, there's really no excuse for them to not let passengers on the local instead of the 44 SBS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N6 Limited Posted December 16, 2015 Share #168 Posted December 16, 2015 In that case, there's really no excuse for them to not let passengers on the local instead of the 44 SBS How do they know that someone has not just used the Q44 before boarding? Have they updated the subway announcements? I was just thinking about Queens but they'd have to update the I have been taking Q44 SBS every day while doing volunteer for NICE Bius at FLushing, Jamaica Center, Jamaica Bus Terminal. How has that been going? The stops still seem close on the map. No new announcements yet. I wonder if they will do the at both Van Wyck Blvd and Sutphin.

BM5 via Woodhaven Posted December 16, 2015 Share #169 Posted December 16, 2015 How do they know that someone has not just used the Q44 before boarding? The receipt indicates the stop the metrocard was dipped in, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QM1to6Ave Posted December 16, 2015 Share #170 Posted December 16, 2015 How do they know that someone has not just used the Q44 before boarding? You could make the same argument about the M15SBS and the local M15. The point is that they are getting a count of how many bodies have entered the bus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS4Ever Posted December 17, 2015 Share #172 Posted December 17, 2015 The only q44 bus stop affected by the implementation of theq44 is the harrod ave bus stop s/b and the Bronxrrive . Ave bus stop both ways. ..but to much it isnt that much of a deal since one can walkto the . Tremon/devoe bus stop for the bronx river av . Bus stop and Rosedal . For the harrod ave stop s/b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuyorican Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share #173 Posted December 17, 2015 The bus lanes in Flushing are pointless if the 109th precinct in Flushing does not enforce them. Its amazing how many people park/double park in them in Flushing. In Jamaica along Hillside ave there is a huge effort to keep them clear. The Sidewalks at some SBS stations should be extend out to the bus lane. So the Q44 Sbs Buses will not need to pull in and out, Q20A/B can stop behind the Q44. The following stops would be perfect Booth memorial hospital stop north bound, Elder ave, 73rd ave and Union Turnpike North Bound. I think in Flushing along Main street the DOT is supposed to make improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousNYLover Posted December 18, 2015 Share #174 Posted December 18, 2015 Q44 SBS ride was great. It's quicker than old Q44 LTD. Some people still not use to it. I think most people who knows how to use Q44 SBS are M15 SBS, M34/A SBS, M86 SBS, M60 SBS, Bx12 SBS, Bx41 SBS, B44 SBS bus riders since they know how to use machines.

How can you make that big of an assumption. I highly doubt most people take any of those routes. Perhaps they know how to use the machines because they just know how to use it. It isn't that hard to do so honestly. I know there's people who have trouble with English, but besides that, there are people who just decide to not bother to take a minute to understand how something works.
