NICE : Proposed new N6 Express Route |

Posted by gold_12th on Wed Feb 22 10:54:01 2012, in response to NICE : Proposed April 2012 Service Adjustments & Additions, posted by gold_12th on Wed Feb 22 10:03:17 2012. We are pleased to propose a new n6 Express route to the 179th Street subway stop, which will run every ten minutes during rush hours. It will have only four stops to speed travel time. We believe it will improve upon the current n6 limited, which it will replace. We propose to start this express service April 8th. Details follow below.As part of the service adjustments and additions, we are proposing this service improvement. This proposal came from an extensive audit of the system that took place over several months in late 2011 and early 2012. We analyzed all the stops on each route, recorded passenger counts by stop throughout the day and night, and studied mobility patterns across the County. Most importantly, we talked to our riders. We got out on the buses and met the people who rely on us every day. We learned that many of you wanted a faster way to connect to the New York subway for your morning and evening commute. With these riders in mind, we designed two new express routes: the n6 Express and the n22 Express. Both routes are proposed to begin running on April 8th, 2012. There will be no additional charges to ride the proposed express buses. The charge will be the same $2.25 that it costs to ride any bus. To reduce commuting time for many people, the n6 Express service will only stop at four stops between the Hempstead Transit Center and the 179th St/ Hillside Ave Subway Station in Jamaica, as follows: ---Westbound trips pick up at the Hempstead Transit Center, Terrace Ave and Westminster Road. After Westminster Road, the bus will run non-stop to 179th St/Hillside Avenue subway station in Jamaica. ---Eastbound trips pick up at the 179th St/ Hillside Avenue subway station and run non-stop to Westminster Road. After Westminster Road, it will drop off at Hilton Ave and the Hempstead Transit Center. The n6X will replace the n6 Limited. For customers at limited stops that are not one of the express stops, or for customers continuing to the 165th St Bus Terminal, please board the n6 Local. Further details: --- Some trips starting after 6pm will also pick up at the 165th St Bus Terminal and at the 169th St/ Hillside Avenue subway station. --- Customers traveling west from 179th St to 165th St. should use the local. With the introduction of this route, there’s no faster way to connect to the 179th St. subway station from the Hempstead area. Take advantage of it! ---http://nicebus.com/Maps_and_Schedules/n6_Express/index.html |
