Re: B74 observations(Back in 1995) |

Posted by North-Easten T/O on Mon Sep 5 09:32:38 2011, in response to B74 observations, posted by DaRidgewoodBusBuff on Sun Sep 4 18:06:52 2011. I worked the B74 on Saturdays back in 1995-1996. There was only 1 bus out most of the day. I had Run#1. I made a trip out of Stillwell every 20mins and the trip it self was 16mins long. The fare was only $0.75 when I start but went up to $0.90 when the fare went up to I think $1.25, you only paid the full fare if you wanted a transfer and it was only good on the B64. I got 6 books of Blue transfers only since we did not need other. I was lucky to carry 10 people each trip. When Run#2 came out I went to lunch for 2 hours. When I came back we both were on line making trips every 12mins out of stillwell for about an hour and a 1/2. He went out to a short lunch and when he came back I went home. MY job paid 9:45 or so. All the other weekends jobs only paid 8 hours, Sunday there was only one bus out at all time.Now after then Free Transfers to the Subway was started I pick the job again and that pick I was packed every dame trip. The next pick is when they added more weekend buses and I could not even touch it. |
