B35 via Church Posted September 1, 2018 Share #6002 Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) If it takes a bus literally half a day to get from Hempstead to Uniondale, NICE bus & Nassau County has bigger problems on its hands than I thought Edited September 1, 2018 by B35 via Church 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has an n48 trip leaving HTC at 11:58 PM... The next time point there is at Front/Uniondale, scheduled to arrive at 12:08 PM.... That's a 12hr, 10 minute difference.... LMAO! Jokes aside, the error on the timetable is the navy blue shading on the 11:58 (which designates PM hours).... It's supposed to designate that the trip in question leaves HTC at 11:58am. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axis Posted September 2, 2018 Share #6005 Posted September 2, 2018 While that is one error, it's actually not even that. Apparently, that trip is somehow supposed to be both an n48 AND n49 simultaneously. None of the timepoints are blank on that 11:58 trip lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmatechamp13 Posted September 2, 2018 Share #6006 Posted September 2, 2018 Yeah, the mistake I was thinking of was the one Axis caught. But yeah, with the way NICE normally has them drive the buses (with lots of "speed" as QJT used to say lol) they must be counting on the driver getting out and pushing the bus the whole way lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Up Front Posted September 7, 2018 Share #6008 Posted September 7, 2018 I was looking at an MSBA map from '74 and I noticed a few things: The old N3 followed the N6 to Hempstead after making the right from Franklin Avenue to Hempstead Turnpike. There was an N36/37 that ran from Hempstead and served Long Beach Road in RVC, took DeMott Avenue to Baldwin and then took Grand Avenue to the N35's current terminus at Atlantic Avenue, then followed the former N36's routing all the way to Lynbrook. How long ago was it rerouted to Freeport? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Up Front Posted September 29, 2018 Share #6013 Posted September 29, 2018 That entire area of Hempstead around the Transit Center is an absolute rat's nest, and those are the kindest words I can use. The MVMs inside are always broken, the bathrooms might as well be sewers themselves, there's no sense of security with the underpaid guards and non-existant HPD, and there aren't any good places to get a bite to eat around. NICE's (lack of) quality service means you spend more time in that hellhole than you need to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's little surprise at this point considering Nassau County itself is incredibly car focused, most treat the bus like plague over there and care less if it's passengers get less. Sad since I do remember the bus service being quite a lot better over there than it is now, and Hempstead TS may have been better as well (though I never went there until lately).

Joel Up Front Posted October 4, 2018 Share #6017 Posted October 4, 2018 XD40 #1947 broken down by the 7-11 in Lynbrook, but there were only about 6 people on so I assume it was an N25 that broke down. It's funny because I saw two N25s one behind the other up the road... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielhg121 Posted October 6, 2018 Share #6018 Posted October 6, 2018 So the N20G flies in Queens, they’re a drop-off only service. Is it really worth it to TransDev to operate such a service? They have all stops from Great Neck LIRR to Nassau border to accumulate passengers and then drive them all the way to Flushing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, this reminds me of "Q12 to Great Neck" proposal that pops up every now and then. Anyways, yes it's worth it as it's pretty well used. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall back in mid-September on a Jamaica-bound n4(1668), the operator was flying down the home stretch into Queens and within Queens, all with the HVAC broken down. However, the rest of the ride was incredibly sluggish with the HVAC, aside from the local traffic in Rock Centre and Freeport. Then going up the Sunrise Highway overpass, it struggled to hit 10...

Funny, NICE loves to brag about their maintenance on their Facebook page every other Monday. I can only guess the Orion V is on the road to replace one of the broken down Orion VIIs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY1635 Posted November 1, 2018 Share #6025 Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) The n1 got diverted off route yesterday afternoon due to a car crash on Elmont Road near Dutch Broadway. I'll never understand why motorists feel the need to speed around that stretch between Dutch Broadway and Hempstead Turnpike. http://longisland.news12.com/story/39394780/police-out-of-control-car-strikes-4-teens-in-elmont Edited November 1, 2018 by NY1635 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
