Posted by BrooklynBus on Fri Apr 20 18:50:49 2012, in response to Bus service to Javits Center, posted by andy on Sun Apr 15 16:55:35 2012. I took the M34 the other week to get to the Javits Center. There was a Bolt bus in the MTA stop which had to wait behind it. It took me about 30 seconds to find the machine which was not obvious because it was located about 40 feet from where the bus stopped. By the time I got my receipt, the bus had pulled out so I prceeded to walk.Another bus came when I got to 10th Avenue so I got on for one block. The driver was speaking to some passengers explaining how the SBS system worked and that he was an extra. When I got off the bus, I noticed it was a regular MTA bus without the SBS paint scheme. It only said SBS on the digital sign and I thought how easy it is for someone to board the bus without realizing they had to prepay and how unfair a summons would be in such an instance. Also, there were three trucks and that Bolt Bus in the Exclusive lane rendering it useless. Also, after only a few months, the pavement was already falling apart. In a few months, the lane won't even be visible. Do you think DOT will actually maintain the markings? On the way back, I took the M42 which I didn't have to wait for. In the PM rush hour it only took 12 minutes to get to Sixth Avenue. So now I'm wondering if the 34th Street SBS is working at all. |
