Do you think that they forgot to change it when taking the information from the GTFS/employee TT? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen worse (such as schedules which show the bus arriving the last stop at a time earlier than that of the first stop). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY1635 Posted August 21, 2018 Share #5985 Posted August 21, 2018 NICE just released their new schedule for the Fall. They're giving the n31/32 headway management treatment, adding Hicksville-Roosevelt Field trips on the n22, and giving the n16x lots of service between Hempstead and NCC. https://www.nicebus.com/Passenger-Information/Summer-2018-Schedule-Changes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axis Posted August 22, 2018 Share #5986 Posted August 22, 2018 Seeing the new n22 & n24 schedules, I have to wonder...the new westbound n22 short turn trips from Hicksville to RF, and the new westbound n24 short turn trips from RF to Jamaica...are they possibly interlined in some way? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67thAve Posted August 22, 2018 Share #5987 Posted August 22, 2018 I don't think that increasing mid-day service on the n31/32 to every 15 minutes from every 20 is a smart idea. While it does benefit me as it is the nearest route to where I live, mid-day buses on the route are typically around 50-75% loaded. It doesn't need more frequent service, and assigning headway schedules would have been better for a busier route, such as the n4 or n6. Another thing that makes me wonder is how NICE is going to sustain higher frequencies on these routes, both with the fleet and with finances. Last time I checked, NICE hasn't bought any new buses in the last couple of years, and the quality of the fleet is still not the greatest. The financial situation has improved, but it is still not great, and increasing service now could dig an even bigger hole in the future. Personally, I'm inclined to believe that switching the frequency-based operations versus timed operations is an attempt by NICE to hide their poor on-time percentage... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RES2773 Posted August 22, 2018 Share #5990 Posted August 22, 2018 Speaking of the new schedules, I'm digging the new design for the pdf schedules and the NICE website itself. NICE's initiatives are actually starting to impress me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your opinion on the new designs. They're solid! One strong point of Transdev seems to be graphic design. You should see some of the stuff (both PDF and paper... I could upload images of the latter) that they publish for their operations in the UK and France. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off-peak service increases generally don't require additional buses. Finance-wise, it appears that this new county executive will be more generous than Mangano. By the way, I read about this pilot program connecting Freeport to the areas east of the Meadowbrook Parkway. Apparently they credit cash/mobile app fixed-route transfers towards the price of the NICELink, but not MetroCard transfers.
