X63 riders were too generous. Granted, I like the route since it's the route I use the most but it's a rush hour-only route that doesn't run as frequently as it should. There is a bunching problem. The schedules aren't listed at any bus stop. The X1 received a lousy score-and I partially agree. On Memorial day I busfanned the X1 to Staten Island. I got to Broadway and Park Place around 3:45PM. After a 10 minute wait the bus arrived. It was so packed that I had to let it go. The second bus arrived 4 minutes later. It had 5 open seats. I managed to get a seat. However, by the time it reached the Battery Tunnel there were people standing in the aisle. The worst part was that there was this man standing next to me who weighed about 300 pounds. He smelled like he hadn't showered in a month. I had to smell that from the Battery all the way to the Verrazano. Ironically, when it arrived in Eltingville there were two buses right behind it. The express bus is the best option for traveling, but there is room for improvement. |
