I’m a little confused on where to wait for this bus in Manhattan. In the following link: https://new.mta.info/document/14376 it says that I can wait at 6 AVE and 36th street, but I don’t see a bus stop there? Do they mean wait at 6 AVE and 37th street bus stop instead? Does the express bus even pick up at 37th street? I plan on going to and from Manhattan soon and don’t want the express bus to miss me cause of this.
Thank you!
I'm not sure if this happens often because I've only experienced it once.
Every time I pass by there I see some XD60 parked there so I’m curious
Edit: I mean Northern Bl and Parsons Bl
I find the crosstowns in Manhattan that have been made into Select Bus to still be unbearably slow and always miss the lights. Why hasn't signal priority been enabled for these routes? Pay before boarding has helped a little but those doors are so small it still takes time. Waiting at 10 lights at 2 minutes a piece adds up..
Especially on SI where MTA really only has one job - making bus service.
S52 at the ferry doesn’t show up for two boats and my transfer expires, and now I gotta pay. Wasn’t my fault that the transfer expired when I’m posted right under their bus stop sign waiting for their bus to show up.
It should be a refundable fare - especially since they can tell when their buses aren’t showing up.
Anyone have updates on the Solaris test bus order?
QM5 and QM6 are meant to go eastbound to Queens over the Queensborough bridge, according to the route on the bus stop and the MTA map. But they always go through the Midtown tunnel instead, at least when I take them in the mornings. Why is that?
My Bx bus consistently always leaves 5-10 minutes earlier than the scheduled time. How am I supposed to anticipate these earlier departures?
What happens is that I will wait for the bus at the scheduled time but it had already left prior to me waiting
Seriously it’s insane
Between LIMITED and SELECT bus service?
This is insane. 8 buses bunched all together. Had to go to radio bakery and the draw bridge was lifted up for like 20 min. Never could imagine 8 buses like this. Had to walk to the g train at 21st instead ugh. But at least I got my foccacia n onion croissant 🥐
There should be some rules when it comes to the limited buses if it’s raining outside or snowing, they should be mandatory to stop at the bus stop that people are waiting at. not just passed them by that shit is rude. We pay our taxes. Our money goes to this shit and they can’t even stop when the weather is bad to pick up people
Taken at 3:31
This is 57th and between 5th and 6th.
Had to go to Costco last night right at closing to pick up something and decided to wait for the q103 bus heading back towards the 7 train.
Question is: once it got to the f train everyone got off and I was the only one on board. The bus was fast however it passed through the con Ed plant which looked like a creepers paradise instead.
If they extended this bus across the drawbridge to green-point/WB .. and had longer operating hours.. instead of 9pm last bus during the week.. winning situation for all?!!?
Is this bus even popular during rush hour? I never see it with peeps. Maybe once when I got on at 21st going to astoria . This bus goes to Costco / Noguchi museum/ connects to the 7 and the f train etc. If the 7 ever failed randomly.. the bus would come in clutch if it ran more frequently…
BxM11 was supposed to leave 241 at 5:30 just decided to not show up. I swear every time I want to take the express bus it doesn’t show up so I resort to the subway
Shoutout u/thatblkman for the help with revised version.
