DS4Ever Posted March 24, 2016 Share #1 Posted March 24, 2016 Ok so last monday 21 march 2016 i made my fantasy trip to ride through eight bus companies in one day and ride a very very long ride outside the metro area...i went as following: ♦3:30am (D)/(f) at Bronx ♦ 5:02am n22 at Jamaica ♦ 6:10am n79 at Hicksville ♦ 7:00am S54 at South Huntington ♦ 7:35am S58 at Commack ♦ 9:20am S92 at Riverhead ♦ 11:00am Cross Island Ferry at Orient Point to New London.CT At this point was my rest stop for 1.5 hours from 12:30pm to 2:00pm ♦ 2:00pm 9 Town TransIt (9TT) New London-Old Saybrook (NL-OS) ♦ 3:30Pm 9 Town Transit Old Saybrook-Madison (9TT OS-M) ♦ 5:00pm CT-NH From Madison to New Haven ♦ 6:00pm CT-NH [O] From New Haven to Milford ♦ 6:50pm GBTA #2 (Coastal Link) from Milford to Norwalk ♦ 9:11pm CT-S 41 at Norwalk to Port Chester (vía Stamford changing route coding at Atlantic Square) NOW HERES THE BIG SITUATION AT THIS POINT!!! As the penultimate CT-S 11 arrives at 10:50pm (10 minutes after the LAST BL-13 leaves Port Chester bounded to Tarrytown via White Plains) i had to take by no other option the Metro North to New Rochelle and thusly take the last BL 7 to Yonkers ahd transfer to the BL 20 and completed my trip at 12midnight the trip cost a total price of $36 dollars riding a total diatance of 425 km (250 miles) and was worth the spending riding 8 diffferent bus companies here are the photos of the buses: n22 bus at Jamaica n79 bus at Hicksville interior of the xcelsior 1909 s54 bus at WW Mall s58 bus at Commack Coram Plaza rest stop of the s58 Riverhead RR Station s92 at Riverhead RR rest photos are at Orient Point Ferry Dock includes the Ferry boat and s92 bus as well as the initial mark of the NYS 25 caption details of every photo at order...Part 2 coming up...

N6 Limited Posted March 28, 2016 Share #5 Posted March 28, 2016 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_London,_Connecticut "New London is a seaport city and a port of entry on the northeast coast of the United States. It is located at the mouth of the Thames River in New London County, southeastern Connecticut." Interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS4Ever Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share #6 Posted April 2, 2016 yep and to say much there is access to head all the way to Westerly,Rhode Island by taking the SEAT 108 to Mystic then transfer to the SEAT 10...since both routes are offset to meet at mystic it is optional to take the 10am #108 bus then wait for the 12:15pm #10 bus to Pawcatuck (walking distance to Westerly Amtrak Station) and take the LAST RIPTA Flex 204 route to South Kingstown South Pond Plaza and thus have easier transfer access to either the RIPTA #14 OR 66 Buses to Providence via T.D. Green Airport and URI (University of Rhode Island) respectivalety so to reach Providence it is optional to rest at New Haven and take the first CT-NH #S route at 5:45am Leaving Midtown Manhattan at 2pm one would arrive Hew Haven at 11pm which would be a 7 hour hiatus of service one can get to know the nightlife of the second most important city of Conneticut and burn some time to 530am and thus continue part 2 one would pay a total of $13.25 in a trip of 28 hours that excludes any expenses in the intinerary as well as the nightlife of New Haven and possibly eateries....compare that to $31 dollars in Greyhound or 60 dollars in AMTRAK...although speaking in retropect it aint that bad 31 dollars to Providence since from New York to Boston is 25 dollars followed by 10 more dollars in the MBTA Rail...one is saving up to 4 dollars if going to New London then the total pricing of the trip would be of $9.00 leaving NYC at 5am and arriving New London at 4pm since NO other bus companies go to this beautiful city except the expensive AMTRAK and Metro North followed by Shore Line i won't mention the pricing on AMTRAK but in Metro North it wwould be a total of $25 dollars BTW FOR PART 2 OF THE PHOTOS CHECK OUT Photos of Regional Transit (CT Transit since the following buses are CT Transit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
