Everyone in waiting for the BxM2 it doesn’t show up but let me be a minute or 2 late and the bus is perfectly on time or early so annoying bus at 7:30 didn’t feel like driving to midtown

I waited for like 40 mins today dawg 😭 2 buses went by which were packed af

The S59 is a local variant of the S89, but it design go to Bayonne, if we did the S59 to Bayonne, then even those coming from Tottenville can easily get a one seat ride up there as the HBLR can get them to key transit access in NJ.

Should I keep the N/R ending at Staten Island Mall or extend it to the transit center for connecting Travels to NJ In my Revised Plan To Improve Staten Island Public Transportation.I remodeled the eltingville transit center.In this plan it has an upper level now which uses part of the abandoned Richmond pkwy section.

Upper Level : S44 SBS S58 SBS S71 S73 S85 Every Sim Bus Route and Some NJ transit routes

Lower Level :

Lane 1 : S55,S56,S64,S65 ( S.I Mall bound) (S55 to Perth Amboy,S56 To Huguenot,S64 to Richmond Valley and S65 to Barclay Avenue) Lane 2 : S68,S69,S70 (S.I Mall Bound) (S68 - Woodbridge Metro Station Bound,S69 - New Dorp Bound) ( S70 - Perth Amboy Bound) Lane 3 : S59/89 ,S79 SBS (Bayonne and S.I Mall Bound) Lane 4 ( Where The Current Entrance to the inside of the transit center is at) : S74 To St.George Stops here S74 SBS (St.George/Bricktown Mall Bound) S79 SBS (Bay Ridge Bound)

Each Lanes are two ways except Lane 4

Long shot but if anyone on here happened to be on either Bus 5864 or 5867 (not sure which one it was but it was one of these two) around 4 pm on the BX12, on the approach to Pelham Parkway and witnessed the driver put the bus in reverse and hit/push a white sedan backwards 15 feet, please let me know. Driver was really shaken up and didn't try to stop the driver after being hit.

The S93 LTD which ends Brooklyn Service at 10:06 can get crowded as well as not being able to make it can cause problems the the new schedule would have the S93 end service to Brooklyn at 11:00 here are the times as follows

9:00

9:12

9:24

9:36

9:48

10:00

10:15

10:30

10:45

11:00 (LAST)

The S93 LTD should also run on Weekends as well until 10PM so that those along Victory Blvd can get to Brooklyn without at transfer service would be every 15 minutes to meet demand.

From College Point, (126th Street & 31st Road) to Laurelton (130th Ave & Ocean Ave), and Cambria Heights (116th Ave & Francis Lewis Blvd)

Here’s how the route will go:

The Q125 will start at 126th Street & 31st Road, then it will follow 124th Street until 31st Ave, where it will follow College Point Blvd until 20th Ave, where it will turn left and follow 131st Street w/ the Q76, until 14th Ave, where it will go all the way to 138th Street & 11th Avenue, until 141st Street, then it will follow Boulevard (that’s literally the name of the street, Boulevard, I’m even not joking), and Malba Drive (the citizens of Malba finally get a bus route in their neighborhood 🎉 ) until 3rd Ave

(A few minutes of yapping later)

At Francis Lewis Blvd & 26th Ave, it will follow Utopia Pkwy until Crocheron Ave (Q28), then it will follow 35th Ave until Clearview Expwy, 39th Ave until 221st Street, Cloverdale Blvd until Horatio Pkwy, and E. Hampton Blvd until Horace Harding Expwy, then it will follow Douglaston Pkwy, Winchester Blvd, and 220th Street until Jamaica Ave and 222nd Street,

(Another few minutes of yapping later)

At Elmont Rd & Dutch Broadway, there will be 2 branches:

1.) to Cambria Heights, 116th Ave

It will follow 115th Ave, until Nashville Blvd, and 116th Ave & F. Lewis Blvd.

2.) to Laurelton, 130th Ave

It will follow Elmont Road, until Cumberland Pl, Carroll Street, and St. John’s Ave

*And yes I know that the Q20 A-B, Q25, Q27, n1, Q65, Q76, Q4, Q83, Q77, and Q2 exists, but there are some people who live in:

Elmont

Laurelton

Cambria Heights

Queens Village

Oakland Gardens

and Bayside

who want to go to College Point*

*The Q27 can suck it*

B13 bus drivers pls come to jamaica ave and crescent street where the q56 is also at.. I also so saddd i am waiting in rain for 20 mins and it skip me :((

So basically these are only 425 ft apart and I measured it from the start / end of the stop on the road and I decided to show thid bc of how stupid the stop placement is someone explain why they would slap 2 stops ridiculously close to each other

In the last two weeks I’ve noticed that my morning B60 and afternoon from work shows busses x amount of stops away then out of nowhere they cancel. What causes this? I know the B60 is notoriously shit but these issues are more repetitive as of late.

The S55 would run from the CSI campus down to Perth Amboy Station.

Under this plan we have the S55 running theses frequencies

Weekdays Peak 7 minutes

Off Peak 12 minutes

Evenings and Weekends 20 minutes

With the S55 now serving both CSI and Perth Amboy this would allow for the route to be used more and would see more riders as direct service to New Jersey would benefit Many Staten Islanders as well as those coming from Perth Amboy.

I also have a concept version to extend to the S64 to Page/Amboy rd

Eltingville Transit Center - Menlo Park Mall

Local Service 7 days a week Weekdays : 4 am - 12 am Saturdays : 5 am - 12am Sundays : 6 am - 12 am

12 -15 minute headways

Streets used :

Arthur Kill Rd,Woodrow Rd,Bloomingdale Rd,Page Avenue,Ambon Rd,Boscome Avenue,Tylleran Avenue,Bricktown Way,Outerbridge crossing,Amboy Avenue,New Brunswick Avenue,Grandview Avenue Route 1 and Menlo Park drive.

Reasoning : After doing research and knowing a lot of people personally who would love to get to Menlo Park mall without using a Lyft or Uber if a car is not accessible to them I think this route would be beneficial. My motto is to encourage bus usage to help reduce emissions and improve air quality on this island.Also more buses to Jersey to/from S.I are important.This hypothetical scenario would only work if a neutral deal between The NJ Transit/Mta made a deal for their transit networks be allowed to both enter each other.So NJ transit buses would be allowed to enter Staten Island and the other boroughs without the extra bs

Extra info: Also eltingville transit center is this scenario would be remodeled for more a traditional Bus term like GWB or The Port Authority one.

Seeing the S93 become an SBS would solve many issues as well as frequency and speed, along with a short extension to 62 St and New Utrecht Ave replacing the S93 LTD.

Stops are the Following

College of Staten Island South Admin

College of Staten Island Entrance

Narrows Rd S Richmond Rd

Narrows Rd S Targee St

Narrows Rd S Hylan Blvd

Narrows Rd S Fingerboard Rd

92 St Gatling Pl

Ft Hamilton Pkwy 86 St

Ft Hamilton Pkwy Bay Ridge Pkwy

Ft Hamilton Pkwy Bay Ridge Ave

62 St New Utrecht Ave

All Local Service would be served by Proposed B10 LTD and B16 Buses,

B16 replaces B12 Service to Alabama Ave

Depot Assigned to each route

S93 SBS: Yukon

B10 LTD: East New York

B16: East New York

With the B16 replacing the B12 there is no need for Jackie Gleason to have the B16 and instead they would boost service for other JG routes.

Ik the bx23 was supposed to go mt Vernon originally but what else

I take the b24 from Greenpoint Ave/Manhattan Ave in the Williamsburg bridge direction after taking the G train, ideally the “7:30am” bus. The first stop on the route. I need to arrive first at my job, which is a mile walk from the Greenpoint G stop if I miss the bus.

Today, the 7:30 bus left at 7:21 and I was VERY lucky to make it since the g train is also inconsistent. The bus has NO consistency. 3-4 times a week I am running after the bus, have to wait until the 7:50 (IF it even comes), have to take an Uber, or walk with heavy bags. I make minimum wage. I can’t afford Ubers every day, and I can’t afford to be late either. I got a stress fracture last year from walking with heavy bags. PLEASE, LEAVE AT THE RIGHT TIME. ITS THE FIRST STOP. NO EXCUSE. It’s nearly impossible to have ANY consistency in my schedule/morning with how irregularly the bus leaves.

Gov Hochul's official announcement on unpausing congestion pricing included the following about outer borough bus service. Any clue which routes will get increased service?

"Expanding Bus Service Across New York City

Governor Hochul believes it is necessary to expand MTA bus service in New York City to increase and improve alternatives to driving – particularly for outer borough communities without convenient subway access. To actualize that goal, the Governor is proposing that the MTA increase frequency, make running time adjustments and deliver other enhancements on at least 23 bus routes citywide – including at least 15 local routes and eight express routes. Six of those express routes have been previously announced: BM2, BM5, SIM1C, SIM4C, SIM23 and SIM24. The other selected routes will be determined by the MTA based on factors including ridership, crowding, equity priority areas and the presence of bus priority lanes."

Saw a B38 flashing CALL 911 - Emergency - CALL POLICE - over and over this morning. Made eye contact with bus driver and he looked normal and bus fairly empty but he also flashed the emergency really fast as I was looking. It stopped at this stop and then kept driving on its route. I called 911 and reported it… It was around 8:58 and heading downtown Brooklyn. Anyone else see it or on the bus? Hope everything is okay and maybe the sign was just malfunctioning.

monday on a select bus dude randomly comes to a SUDDEN HALT, and this happens on the bus a lot we swing forward a little on the usual, but this time it was harsh like didn't even bother slowing down like he just stomped the break. EVERYONE flings foward like i've never seen before even the people sitting down (ME) sitting down in a one seater flings foward and my nose hits the metal bar so hard i start bleeding. Driver doesn't apologize or anything. Crying hard as hell i take pictures, get off the bus and call someone up to open a case. disgusting how shitty some humans are
