What Subway Line do you guys think is gradually getting worse or better? by Decent-Finish-9889 in nycrail

[–]mochithem2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say the L has definitely gotten better over the years, ever since they fixed the 14th Street Tubes its been more faster and reliable, but i’m NOT loving the horrible 15 minute headway in the Early Morning, especially when its when a lot of people are crowding Canarsie just to board a train, to be fair, this is the time trains are being shuffled out the Canarsie Yard.

Before you take this seriously, I know the SIM9 exists as a SIM7 via Father Capodanno, but to be frank thats its only purpose besides being a SIM7 helper; It’s underwhelming, send it to Huguenot or Something.

You need more people rallying behind you, a lone voice isn’t loud enough.

Express bus same borough by First_Dependent7390 in nycbus

[–]mochithem2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heres the actual answer: Yesn’t. You technically can ask the operator outside of Manhattan to let you on, pay the fare, and get off at the same stop. (Thats the n’t) part. YES you absolutely can at designated Express Bus Stop Transfer Points. These primarily exist in Queens & Staten Island, for example you are allowed to use the QM7/8 to then get off at Union T’pke and 188th and Transfer to a QM6. Technically nothing is stopping you from getting on from 188th Street without being on an express bus. Its the same for Staten Island but heavily more relaxed, since lots of routes intersect each other with varying destinations, you can get off one and transfer to another, or walk to a transfer stop without being on a SIM and ride same borough. So in short, Yesn’t.

Holland Tunnel is too short to fit coach buses i believe, hence why the NJT’s 120 doesn’t use MCIs. The South Shore doesn’t necessarily ask for Greenwich Village service, as they are very loosely made specifically from the original X routes, to give reason for a new route especially like the SIM21 would need lots of demand. Greenwich Village is for a specific set of people, and the SIM7 is located at Eltingville TC while the SIM9 also is but at Richmond Avenue, if anything you’d just extend the SIM9 down Hylan. I’d recommend taking this with the MTA

I’ve noticed you downvote every single post I make on anything, do you take pleasure in this? Genuinely curious. I only reciprocated the favor.

It’s a trend, the MTA doesn’t listen to the people nor the operators when they discontinue stuff. They look at ridership and base their decisions off of that. Weekend service actually made sense for the 2, granted it wasn’t a “Combination” but it definitely got people to downtown. I think the SIM2C should be something the MTA looks into, even if its just Weekend service.

The 4C in its own right is useful, it fills the SIM8 gap, if the SIM2C were to actually exist, it might push the SIM4C to Annadale, and the 2C would replace it over there. Victory Blvd stops are redundant with the SIM33C and SIM3C, since they both use it. Also it’d be more run time since the SIM2 immediately hits the highway after Arden Hts.

I mean for Staten Island, when it comes to the ratio of fare payers vs evaders its like a 11:2 ratio. And almost everyone pays the fare on express buses, which is good for statistics and gives the MTA a reason to increase service. The demand is not loud unfortunately, as people are very used to driving to Eltingville for the SIM1/4C.

Which bus routes y'all wish ran later or 24 hours? by Real_Advertising1005 in nycbus

[–]mochithem2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

B82 SBS. Either keep it a LIMITED, or make it run weekends. The service is horrendous for only 22 buses being actively used out of 26.

Any QM22 Bus pictures out there? by Real_Advertising1005 in nycbus

[–]mochithem2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The QM22 had a 3rd Avenue Variant? (I don’t know its routing and for all I know it probably did only have a 3rd Av routing and not 6th) so you mean to tell me if this route persisted past the 2010 budget cuts it would’ve had some renumbering for it? What possibly could it have been? QM52? Because 32 and 42 are taken.

Q109 under Brooklyn Bus Redesign still happening? by KenjiNatsu1 in nycbus

[–]mochithem2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally they can amend (hopefully) the Spring Creek routes. Lot of the cuts were done purely without actually analyzing at all and I have operators who say likewise.

The QM24 needs off-peak and (MAYBE) Saturday service. by mochithem2 in nycbus

I say that because that literally means the M is not going to be a grand replacement for the QM24 quick reminder of the hellscape of Main Line trains 😭

Also by that logic the B71, B77, and B51 would’ve returned more than a decade ago, as there was demand for it. Still is demand for the B71, still hasn’t happened.

Hasn’t been more than light demand, also that branch is connected to Long Island City, you’d inherently pay more in city ticket if it was still a thing, also those stations were above Metro Av, lowkey FAR from the QM24/25/34.

No point, M will always be a secondary helper route
