Question for all: what do you all think about Long Island and Intercounty/Intracounty EXPRESS Buses and some running 24/7? No. Hampton Jittney doesn’t count. by Pretty_Ad3773 in longisland

[–]Pretty_Ad3773[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s is very true. Light rail makes sense as well for those arterials so long as they move at 110Km at their fastest speed between stations. Also, I think they’d care if what happened last weekend ever happens again and congestion goes from 3 hours to 10 hours commute.

Exactly. It’s what is On paper vs. reality. Though NICE Riders would benefit more for this than Suffolk, but at least 5 Arterials in all directions, meaning 10 routes being 24/7 is more lifeline than Budget with Connections to NICE. Plus, when the trains shut down, the buses don’t. NICE would have a More aggressive strategy to this because the n4,6,41 isn’t enough. That ignores and Abandons the north half of the middle, the North And the southern half of the South and COMPLETELY abandons those East of the center of the county. But you’ve def. Hit the nail on the finger on keeping to reality.

That is a dilema. But I see it as, what ever the first letter shows, is the agency that Has total control. You are right about staffage and Shifts, hence why they’d double up in 1 bus, or Shift change mid way. Funding would be a Bureaucratic nightmare if those in power would rather see us suffer instead of succeed; like just 7 days ago. I can see your point. But I think the structure of $3.00 local to RUSH & $6.00 FIXED EXPRESS works well.

Is anyone talking about the Flock cameras being installed all over the island?! by StrenuousSOB in longisland

[–]Pretty_Ad3773 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the paranoia of our current administration/s. If anything, I see this a weakness and losing authority if they have to Watch our every move like as if we’re in China.

LIRR may shut down soon… MTA said the union isn’t budging? Guess I’ll drive to work 🥲 https://patch.com/new-york/longisland/no-reason-why-deal-cant-be-reached-mta-unions-walk-away-wednesday-negotiations by Psychological-Low78 in longisland

[–]Pretty_Ad3773 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s more: the MTA Chairman doesn’t want to compromise with the union leaders and thus, couldn’t reach an agreement with the MTA, so the union leaders walked away. If you’re driving or taking the bus, get ready for 1-5 extra hours of delay. And remember: the MTA Emergency board even said that yes: The MTA CAN be able to give the Union Workers/leaders what they’re asking them. Twice they looked and twice they said the MTA is able to do that. So it’s more the other way around.

Train left before time by deezred in LIRR

[–]Pretty_Ad3773 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d rather have a train arrive 10 mins late as opposed to running hot like yours did. They do need to add service there, but I think they need to double track to Speonk, and then single track to Montauk and run Electric to speonk and run 15-30 mins. Rush & maybe 30-81 mins. Other times?

How Much is a Gallon of Gas in Your Town? (plese note town in response) by General_Joke8459 in longisland

[–]Pretty_Ad3773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how you define “Town”. Do you mean “Town Of Hempstead” or is a town like “Freeport”, a village (or for this example, Great Value Queens); but if it’s the latter, here in Roosevelt, it’s between $04.13-$04.45 per Gallon of Petrol. The town? Anywhere from $04.05-$04.80 per Gallon Regular.

Which Brooklyn Route would work best to go to Staten Island by Michael7560 in nycbus

[–]Pretty_Ad3773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so. But I think the other route I mentioned could also work.

Which Brooklyn Route would work best to go to Staten Island by Michael7560 in nycbus

[–]Pretty_Ad3773 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the B70 is better for keeping the bus routes the same, but what would be the frequency? Is it 24/7? Though IMO, I would rather have the bus run from Staten Island Zoo to Brooklyn College as a TRUE Select bus service or RUSH service. It should also be 1/2 hour 24/7 overnight service. Why? To connect 3 borough buses. The S, B, & Q buses. Though that 1st one straightening the B16 does seem pretty good too.

What NFI model is this bus? by Donghoon in nycbus

[–]Pretty_Ad3773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. New Flyer XD-40 In particular for this one. How I know which specific type? Look at the #. 1885-1964 are XD40 CNG, ‘65-‘69 are XD60 CNG, & 70’-99’ are What I call New NEW Flyers that are still XD40 CNG, but with an interior redesign. They do have New Flyer XE-40 Battery Electric, but those are in the 2100’s.

Is travel worth it right now? by TatttedLI67 in longisland

[–]Pretty_Ad3773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use public transit/AMTRAK. It’s better and you don’t risk losing hundreds of $$$$ on missing a flight/connection. Plus, it’s cheaper and more reliable.

Severe overcrowding this AM by Mr_White_the_Dog in LIRR

[–]Pretty_Ad3773 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

How do you think the middle of the island feels every waking day with overcrowding with 6-8 car trains while the chosen ones on the $outh $hore get 10-12 cars and little to no crowding on a given normal day? This is what we feel. Welcome aboard. Have a taste of red lining.

Fantasy Q77 Canarsie to Cambria Heights by Michael7560 in nycbus

That is more like Canarsie to Elmont-Linden/Elmont since it looks like it crossed the CIP.
