I rode on that on the X17J last night (Monday) from Times Square. A few people that I know was on that bus and for some odd reason that bus was operating as the next to the last X17J (6:15 out of 57/Lex) from a phone call that I got while I was on the QM1A about to go into Midtown Tunnel. I made it with 2 minutes to spare as I made the 6 and the 42 St Shuttle with excellent timing!

So which <b>one</b> you prefer: (A) Leave Suffolk Transit operations alone as it is - or - (B) Make some major changes to Suffolk Transit operations (e.g. more buses, better schedules and headways, add Sunday service; etc.) Tue, 7 Oct 2008 06:20:05 GMT http://www.subchat.com/buschat/read.asp?Id=118117 <b>Posted by Edwards! on 10/7/2008 1:10:37 AM EST</b><br>Thats silly...it's a machine..NOT a PERSON...

How about a person goes on the bus to ride multiple times a day, a week, a month? Maybe they could go to MetroCard operation and start using it like inmost agency in this area use it. <i>the only thing they don't have is 24 hour routes and Sunday service and Saturday service on some routes.</i> Suffolk Transit can run 24 hr / 7 days on some routes with high ridership. But most of ST routes can run 16 to 18 hours on 7 days with decent headways if it is possible. <i>the only thing they lack is that the roads get jammed during rush hour and make some buses late (though there is nothing they can do with that), it souds alright to me.</i> Well it sounds like Suffolk Transit did not update their timetables in ages so with increasing traffic, they should alter or adjust the schedule right now. <i>and no, needing Metro Cards does not count as an improvement because that doesn't help anyone except the people who have them. which i doubt are alot of SCT passengers since most are poor and elderly</i> Well you are an idiot. MetroCards does provide an improvement and benefits with some discounts on pay per ride, unlimited rides ( means cheaper fare if you ride multiple times); and for the elderly; easy to handle to put the card in the farebox without carry the change to pay the fare. But you forget some people do ride Suffolk Transit; college students, so there is another benefit Tue, 7 Oct 2008 06:08:05 GMT http://www.subchat.com/buschat/read.asp?Id=118115 <b>Posted by Bee Flexible #823 on 10/7/2008 1:01:05 AM EST</b><br><img src="http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/34/l_2d7c7c9651544f3e8bf63812f5e6460f.jpg"> <img src="http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/19/l_1bcf78f2841645bbb2926d740ea80003.jpg"> <img src="http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/34/l_bb1a68aacf90471b9cf70234161947ec.jpg"> <img src="http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/1/l_b4b2fed145224521a1c18e14068f88bf.jpg"> <img src="http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/47/l_2e439b909c7542b5bc97f25ac649fadc.jpg"> <img src="http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/52/l_4f5aa3a5f4694225a508f6def293aff3.jpg"> <img src="http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/41/l_3ac13f09fcd543edbd7cfad600941312.jpg"> <img src="http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/41/l_17461892896f4f9586f4456cd0761713.jpg"> Enjoy!!!
