John from Flushing Posted June 24, 2015 Share #3780 Posted June 24, 2015 The buses are more dirty more than ever, does nice bus have people clean the buses at night? The buses have garbage on the floor, fast food wrappers and bags and soda cups, I even seen beer bottles and cans in the back. These buses need to be sweep clean every day. What am I paying $ 2.75 for? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even trash in front of police stations. Even the business people in LIRR don't bother throwing their garbage either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamousNYLover Posted June 25, 2015 Share #3783 Posted June 25, 2015 Installing video camera wouldn't help either because all MTA buses that goes through Jamaica, rough neighboods in Brooklyn, Bronx, people just trash on buses, not caring about camera either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Flushing Posted June 25, 2015 Share #3787 Posted June 25, 2015 Long Island needs better ontime, more reliable bus service, From what I been noticing on the N20, I see a bus dropping people off on Roosevelt ave, and he then goes right to pick us up at the bus stop, doesn't these bus drivers get a break? such long route I am surprised these drivers don't have at least 5 minutes at the end to stretch there legs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be, though depending on Veolia practices/policy's. Some companies policy's are if the driver is late then they lose their break so they are running close to the schudule time or to make up time. As for better on time service, try telling people with cars not to drive their cars and take Transit. I bet nearly half of all bus delays are because of traffic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Flushing Posted June 26, 2015 Share #3791 Posted June 26, 2015 Car free day usually means nice buses are packed allow extra travel time. If we had less cars on li, more people would ride the bus, but first we need more reliable and ON TIME bus service, if schedule says 7pm bus he should be there at 7pm that's my two cents 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamousNYLover Posted June 26, 2015 Share #3794 Posted June 26, 2015 No discount on any transportation in Long Island. They just encourage motorists to use transportation as much as they can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Flushing Posted June 26, 2015 Share #3795 Posted June 26, 2015 I personality believe a bus fare on li should be one dollar, with a one dollar bus fare you would have more bus riders & way less cars on the road 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a case in point Suffolk's fare was $1.50 for nearly twenty years, and they have no Sunday Service, very little late night service and nearly all routes have hourly headway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Flushing Posted June 26, 2015 Share #3798 Posted June 26, 2015 What makes li bus service slow is the cars expecially on northern blvd, the city and Nassau should install a bus lane only for buses, put this lane on the right side along the sidewalk, get rid of the parking spots, make it buses only. bus lanes make buses move faster 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off because in some places the roadway is only one lane in each direction, widening a road for a deicated bus lane would take time and money, which people do not like. Not to mention having to re do sidewalks. (When they wisened Montauk Hwy in my area widen the road a few inches to make a continuis turning lane, they had to redo all the sidewalks, or put them in, and had to set them back a foot from where they had been taken a foot from some stores parking lots.) People and stores would not like losing their street side parking, not to mention in those villages that have those spaces metered would not like losing the income just so bus riders can have their own lane. And to deticate a bus lane in a place that has muiltiple lanes for traffic would just add to the traffic. Not to mention how do you enforce such a thing. If anyone deserves a deticated lane on Long Island, it should be the Volunteer Fire Departments and other emergency respnders. (Now on that I'm bais as I have had family members who have been volunteers, one of which was serverly injured while responding to a fire in a fire truck with it's lights and sirens on.) As long as people can drive, own a vehicle, car pool, ride a bike, or walk; nobody is going to care about transit nor do anything to make it better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted June 28, 2015 Share #3800 Posted June 28, 2015 People generally don't move to the suburbs to have to rely on public transit... It is that simple. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
