"I said all of this because most of the passengers of the express buses in the NYC area are "accustomed" to certain "services" such as soft seats, having a seat (not standing), overhead lighting and racks, especially those traveling on the ex-LL and NYBS routes. After over 30 years of these things, you start rolling hard seated transit style buses-trust me they will notice and they will raise hell."Don't forget tinted windows and reading lights. Some of the people on the QM1/QM1A give me crazy looks if I decide to stand on the bus if there are no seats left. I don't really care about having a seat but I only care about where I have to get to. I have gotten used to standing up because I take the local buses pretty often and I take the subway sometimes. While paying higher means to expect something like soft seats and other goodies for alot of people, I am not like that. I only pay $5 is because the QM1 Downtown get's me downtown pretty quickly(40-55 Mins) and not having to transfer not even once. If I went the local bus+subway I have to transfer 2 times and takes a little over an hour(Around 1 hr and 10 Mins to 1 hr and 20 Mins) |
