I've never known it to be anything but (that).... As far as feel or things of that nature, when I think of Port Richmond, I think of its corresponding named avenue... The commercial sector of that road could stand to undergo some sort of revitalizing or something (and that's being VERY nice about it).....

Future ENY OP Posted February 6, 2019 Share #26027 Posted February 6, 2019 Random thought: These service increases on the B52 are doing mighty well. This about the 4th B52 I’ve seen going to Ridgewood in a 10 minute span. However, there are 4 B25’s bunches up on Fulton heading towards East New York. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, B25's are always bunching, what else is new.... Used to wait for the B12 over on Alabama, you'd have 2 buses parked one behind the other along ENY av (in front of that HOtel & that Burger Ur Way place); which is the B25 layover spot..... At the first pickup stop itself though, I mean you'd stand there, wait for the B12 & within a 5 minute span, 2 buses would come down Alabama, destination sign off, people setting up to bumrush the bus (not knowing what bus it is yet)..... ....only to find out at the very last second, you'd have b/o's that'd display the B25 signage (good way to troll passengers.... I'm almost certain you have b/o's that do that on purpose)... Then you see everybody (except for like, 6 people out of like 70+) back off.... Rinse, wash, repeat.... Worst I've ever seen was four B25's show up at the first pick up spot, before the B12 came.... So I say that to say, the B25 is no stranger in the bunching dept.... As for the B52, it's good that those people got more service, but buses have got to stop intentionally crawling at a certain point.... It's usually anywhere between Malcolm X & Broadway (especially), towards Ridgewood Term... Highly annoying.... So much so that I tend to favor the B26 if I need to get to Ridgewood from Downtown; it moves better (even though it does that "hug-the-curbside-so-the-bus-going-the-opposite-direction-can-pass-by" bit, for a good chunk of the route.... That's a route that's just about never talked about on here btw (B26)... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda find it disrespectful to the folks of Halsey Street not receiving adequate bus service unlike Gates Avenue Every where you turn a 52 is rolling down Greene Avenue in both direx. The 52 is the unofficial B38 with expanded service since the 38 is no longer Fresh Pond. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielhg121 Posted February 6, 2019 Share #26030 Posted February 6, 2019 The Bx26 deserves artics IMO. At least 25% during rush hour. Midday would be uncalled for but towards the start of rush hour, they shld start getting them out on the road. I dunno how the runs r scheduled but those starting at 2-4PM shld start getting them out LOL. As with every NYC bus line, the buses bunch if there’s any traffic and high amount of pax. But I do have to admit ridership does die down towards Co-op City. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This bx55 conversation brings back so many memories I remember when the bx55 ended at 1am and operated on weekends they need to extend the bx15 Limited service cause ending it at 7pm does not work and also adding weekends I can’t wait for it to be converted to a select bus route 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested Rider Posted February 10, 2019 Share #26040 Posted February 10, 2019 Has anyone checked the weather for this Tuesday? It seems that both of the weather sites that I check on a regular basis are predicting snow with Weather Underground (3-5 inches) and Accuweather (1-3 inches). It maybe a good time for our fellow posters in Manhattan and the Bronx to be on the look out over the next day to see if the 40 foot buses from other garages make an appearance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a full snow storm. The snow will switch to rain throughout the day. However, if the weather is warm enough. Expect the same forecast as the last time = RAIN ☔️ and not SNOW ❄️ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if the weather is warm enough. Expect the same forecast as the last time = RAIN ☔️ and not SNOW ❄️ I just reviewed both posts and as well as the weather underground 10 day chart and both Accuweather and Weatherunderground have it changing to rain but after a prolonged period of snow changing to ice and then rain. The temperature forecasts for the day indicate that it will be very close to 32 degrees or at the freezing level. This winter, the weather systems have been coming from west to east which precludes large amounts of snow. If this was a normal winter then it would follow the usual pattern of storms coming from the south to north, then the snow amounts will be much higher. Past forecasts do not indicate that the same pattern will be followed on Tuesday and compare it to the November storm forecast and how it changed in a couple of hours. When I read many of the posts on this forum, there are a lot of posts that are pure speculation of what will occur when for example new buses and trains will be going when they arrive, that is basically a management decision that involves specific garages and yards and is done over a long period of time. A snow event such as this is totally different as it change in a matter of minutes. After the November storm, the MTA does not want to hear from every politician and every so called journalist who knows nothing about transit coming out of the woodwork to blame the MTA, forgetting the fact that weather is an inexact science and therefore can change in a New York minute. it is my opinion that the MTA will err on the side of caution and will put chains on bus tires and will replace the artics with the 40 foot buses on Tuesday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The late night Bx15 short turns to/from 149 St are also former Bx55 runs, problem is after 4am nothing replaces them, so late night service is not 20 minutes all night, it can be up to 60 minutes wait at certain directions/days 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do, it should be one of units that ran on the BX12 SBS before the 1200s came.
