Tom Meadow Posted November 8, 2016 Share #5401 Posted November 8, 2016 OG CNG's are simply better buses than the NG'sin some ways yes when there not constantly breaking down.But they have good legroom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N6 Limited Posted November 13, 2016 Share #5403 Posted November 13, 2016 1/2 through the route the B/O tells everyone that the bus doesn't have enough fuel to make it to Hicksville. How does that even happen? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac5689 Posted November 15, 2016 Share #5404 Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) How does that even happen? The B/O probably didn't check the fuel gauge before they left the depot. Or the fuel gauge was broken and showed it had enough when it didn't. Edited November 15, 2016 by mac5689 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted November 15, 2016 Share #5405 Posted November 15, 2016 No respectable company should ever have to deal with that. I can deal with a bus being behind on maintenance, but to not have enough fuel to make it that far through a shift? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY1635 Posted November 18, 2016 Share #5409 Posted November 18, 2016 Artics coming to n4/n6, delivery in Feb/March '17. http://nicebus.com/Passenger-Information/TAAC-minutes-for-September-2016.aspx 600 passengers on the n80/81 seems kind of low for the 40ft buses it uses. I feel that the small ones used for the shuttles would've been more appropriate for the route. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY1635 Posted November 18, 2016 Share #5410 Posted November 18, 2016 Once again, NICE might cut service and eliminate low ridership routes this January because of a deficit. I blame Nassau lawmakers for their short sighted decision to waste the money they gave NICE on bringing back most of the eliminated routes. http://www.newsday.com/long-island/nassau/nice-citing-budget-deficit-eyeing-service-cuts-again-1.12637333 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted November 19, 2016 Share #5411 Posted November 19, 2016 I sure love those pictures of Solages in the Flexis. I wonder how long he had to put up with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY1635 Posted November 19, 2016 Share #5412 Posted November 19, 2016 How is ridership on the Elmont Flexi? Is it good enough to avoid getting cut? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted November 19, 2016 Share #5413 Posted November 19, 2016 I managed to finally get a view inside one. I saw about 5 people onboard, not including the driver. This was around sunset, so it was rush hour. I guess it's better than allocating a full length bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousNYLover Posted November 26, 2016 Share #5414 Posted November 26, 2016 On November 18th, when I got off late 3:55pm n81 Hicksville a#1742 t Hicksville Station at 5:08pm on my way to LIRR to n23 bus, 5:22pm n22 Jamaica Local #1657 I think skipped first stop, skipping waiting the passengers which they were angry and saying, "What the hell?" and I said to driver loud enough, "You skipping passengers at first stop!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY1635 Posted November 26, 2016 Share #5415 Posted November 26, 2016 There must've been another n22 right behind the one you mentioned. Drivers usually skip some stops if they're running behind schedule or full, and let the next bus deal with the skipped stop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousNYLover Posted November 27, 2016 Share #5416 Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) NICE Bus still has posted public hearing on their website, except for major bus stops. Edited November 27, 2016 by FamousNYLover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N4 Via Merrick Rd Posted December 3, 2016 Share #5418 Posted December 3, 2016 Has anyone else noticed that 1885 and 1886 run the n4/4X sometimes the n25 on the weekdays? So they belong to RVC now?

N4 Via Merrick Rd Posted December 7, 2016 Share #5421 Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) I can sympathize with them on that one. n6x isn't really utilized during off peak hours. I'd keep the 1:00 1:20 1:40 westbound trips. They fill up a bit.

I've heard that the n19 and 36 would be eliminated thru someone else along with RVC depot shutting down thru newsday. The n45, 54/55 getting eliminated is news. Can they at least keep the n54?

Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk As someone who takes the 1:40 n6X trip to get home from school, I can confirm that the run gets ridership. Sometimes, it's standing room only. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
