NICE new buses head out east! (with an MTA intro)


BM5 via Woodhaven

Recommended Posts

Last Saturday, I did a mini fan trip, in which I rode the n4, to the n19, to the n72, to the n6 (took the subway to/from Jamaica). I stopped by at some areas where the buses terminated, such as Babylon and Hempstead. 

 

Here's Jamaica, pure MTA Buses though:

Anyways, I got on 1716 on the n4 late, and afraid I was going to miss my connection at Freeport to the n19 (that would suck). I got off a few stops before Freeport to catch it, but it was late too. Why? It was because the driver interlined with the n19 at Freeport. Nevertheless, we were 10 minutes by the time we left Jamaica, but by the time we were in Babylon, the bus was 30 minutes late. Anyways, pictures from Babylon can be seen in the SCT photos thread. I take the n72, also late, by around 20 minutes. I took an pic along the way towards Hempstead of another n72, going to Babylon:

Then I arrive at HTC, 30 minutes late of the scheduled arrival time.....

....and see the same bus I was on, but on the n15 this time. There was a different driver this time, so I believe there was a relief somewhere along the way, since there would be no time to go back to MF.

Anyways, caught some new buses on plenty of different routes, such as the n55 and n72, so they're going east too.

Indeed. You can tell it's new by the shine factor on the alcoa rims. Beautiful stuff!

Thanks a lot!

 

That N31 sign that's the way all routes should display.

 

Nice pics n' vids btw...   ;)

Agreed. Thanks man!

Is sad that youmention the n19 toBabylon. ..now it would be the n72 the only. NICE bus

While the n19 does carry riders to Babylon, the n72 carries significantly more riders, despite it running there only 6 days of the week. Perhaps in the future, NICE can look at extending the n72 to Babylon on Sundays, but with the current situation, it's not going to be possible. 

 

 

Great pics. 

 

What a surprise, NICE buses running late and messed up signs lol

Lol, thanks!
