Wrong. The link is for B46 only.

Once you click on it, then you get links for all SBS, but someone would not know that until he clicks on the link which he would have no reason to do if he wasn't looking for information on the B46. Why can't you understand such a simple concept?

Nope. It's clear it's for all of SBS. On the main page there is a specific section carved out with the "+selectbusservice" logo and an image of an SBS-liveried bus. That makes it clear that it is the SBS part of the main page and to click there for all things SBS, even if the text of the link is highlighting the latest development.

It's like if there was a section on the main page about the SAS and there was a text link right below the T bullet and "SAS" text that said something like "New: the 96th St Station is 90% complete!" and that link brought you to the main SAS page.

Because DOT disregarded the wishes of the community when they stated they preferred service lane bus lanes to main roadway bus lanes which they view as dangerous to pedestrians and doubt they will be cleared during snowstorms forcing riders to wait for buses in the main roadway.

After the last big storm it took three days to clear the snow in Woodhaven..

I wasn't ignoring the HOV aspect, nor the rush hour only aspect.

That said, service road bus lanes have more substantial conflicts with turning traffic and get held up by double parked cars.

Finally you were the first one to say you read the article. I do not know how much you actually read, but from your responses it was easy to tell you had your conclusions already predetermined.

"It took several hundred posts until you even read what I wrote"

"I didn't say you didn't read my posts. You are still changing what I write in order to prove your erroneous points. "

Wow. Direct contradiction. Furthermore, both are clearly lies, as the latter is saying you never said the former, and the former is clearly wrong as you definitively stated something you would have no way of knowing.

"What I stated was that I posted an article about the B44 SBS trying to have an intelligent discussion and I got 100 irrelevant posts and arguments, none relating to the topic I wrote about. I received comments like why read the article when we know your history of always being wrong."

Except they were entirely relevant. My comments were directly refuting your absurd post which was filled with items irrelevant to the topic at hand and outright falsehoods.

"Finally you were the first one to say you read the article. I do not know how much you actually read, but from your responses it was easy to tell you had your conclusions already predetermined."

As I responded to all of it, it is pretty clear I read all of it. I don't know if it is worse to be so dishonest as to claim to not have seen that I clearly did read it, or so lazy as to not look and see that I clearly did read it.
And yes, when presented with a rant of a report such as yours, of almost no relevance to the topic, it is incredibly unlikely that ones mind would be changed.

"Then after about three or four back and forths I told you I was ending the discussion because it was going nowhere and I wasn't going to waste my time with you any more. "

Because DOT should have not ruled it out.

You seem to be of the opinion that government agencies are always correct, when they make mistakes and errors all the time.

I am in Atlantic City right now and the entrance to the Atlantic City Expressway from Baltic Avenue is marked "Exit Only" when it should have been marked "Entrance Only". You do not typically exit off local streets. It was confusing and appeared you should not enter through an "exit." But that was the way to get on the expressway.

Confusing signage is a cause of accidents.

No they are not saying anything contrary to any facts. They are saying something CONTRARY TO YOUR OPINION.

Show me the facts that it is safer to wait for a bus in a median roadway than on a sidewalk. Show me proof that Woodhaven Blvd was clear of snow in less than three days when newspaper articles reported no snow plows for three days.

You are the liar, not me, because you are stating proven facts never occurred and claiming that it is safer to wait for a bus in the median, even an uncleared median, which most likely would be the case based on past experience, than it would be to wait on a sidewalk which is cleared by commercial establishments at major intersections before the city clears the snow, and alleging your opinions are facts.

Of course one's mind would not be changed when his mind is made up already and not willing to entertain any new facts and is willing to make absurd arguments as you did like insisting passengers are not interested if fare machines are functioning or not. It was that comment when I stopped reading anything further that you wrote.

It is plainly obvious that it is EXTREMELY important to SBS passengers that fare machines are reliable and functioning most of the time. It is a documented fact that all machines were out of order at one stop on the M60 last year for over a month.

If the passengers do not care about fare machine reliability, why did so
Many call Channel 11 to complain? You make the most ridiculous statements out of your ass such as saying fare machine reliability is unimportant and has no place in a progress report, and you expect to be taken seriously. As I said before, you are nothing but a bad joke.

Because DOT should have not ruled it out.
That may be true. But the fact is they already ruled it out for whatever reasons. Unless your solution successfully addresses all (or at least most) the reasons they ruled it out, then it is not constructive to recommend to DOT an alternative they already dismissed.

You seem to be of the opinion that government agencies are always correct
I don't know why you'd say that. I've not said nor done anything to even remotely suggest that. This is yet another example of you completely misunderstanding what is going on and then getting all insulted when I tell you you're flat out wrong. You're flat out wrong!

when they make mistakes and errors all the time.
They make mistakes. They are human.

I am in Atlantic City right now and the entrance to the Atlantic City Expressway from Baltic Avenue is marked "Exit Only" when it should have been marked "Entrance Only". You do not typically exit off local streets. It was confusing and appeared you should not enter through an "exit." But that was the way to get on the expressway.
Dude.



First of all, no, it is not confusing. Second of all, no, it in no way, shape, or form appears that you should not enter through an exit. If they didn't want you to enter, there would be completely different signage. It is quite clear that this is an EXIT off of Baltic Ave and/or an EXIT out of Atlantic City, and onto the AC Expressway to Philadelphia. Third of all, I spent a brief amount of timing looking at the MUTCD and the results are inconclusive. It shows this particular sign in the context of when you are already on a freeway/expressway. And in the context of a local road meeting a freeway/expressway, it provides examples of other signs that use the word entrance. However, it does not have this exact example situation of the lane layout leading to the entrance ramp. It also does not have the exact situation of this being one of the few exits off of an island. However, looking at another similar entrance to the AC Expressway from Atlantic City, I see more typical signage, though I see now that's it not really a similar situation as it is still local street and not really the point of no return. Finally, I see a sign that says "Expressway Only" with two arrows pointing ahead. That's a good sign, but it is beyond the intersection so again not a good example. I conclude at this time that the example you brought up seems to be non-standard, but there also does not seem to be a standard that correctly covers the situation. There's also the issue that Google Maps says this is a toll road, but all the advance signage leading to it does not mention a toll. Maybe there is an exit before the toll. You can tell me. It's a separate issue and I don't care to dive into that at the moment. I only mention it because it seems to be another non-standard issue in the area. But I assume there is a reason for it. I'm not going to first assume, like you often do, then the gov't is just plain wrong. I would do research before coming to even an initial high-level conclusion.

Confusing signage is a cause of accidents.
I don't see why you example would be confusing or the cause of accidents. The sign's meaning is very clear.

You and others argued for about 100 posts why it wasn't necessary to read that nine page report, rather than have an honest debate about it.
No, YOU (or your proxy) argued for 100 posts. We just made an initial relevant statement. Your disagreement with our initial relevant statement was the source of the "100 post argument." Get your facts straight. It takes two sides to have an argument. If you didn't want to discuss why we didn't need to read your report, then you shouldn't have replied to that post.

absurd arguments as you did like insisting passengers are not interested if fare machines are functioning or not.
That's not exactly what he said.

"No they are not saying anything contrary to any facts. They are saying something CONTRARY TO YOUR OPINION."
"They" don't exist, so they can't say something contrary to my opinion. As "they" don't exist, they cannot say anything factual.

"Show me the facts that it is safer to wait for a bus in a median roadway than on a sidewalk."
Show me proof that it isn't. You are the one making the assertion.

"Show me proof that Woodhaven Blvd was clear of snow in less than three days when newspaper articles reported no snow plows for three days."
Plows plow streets, not bus stops, regardless of their location.

"You are the liar, not me, because you are stating proven facts never occurred"
I have not stated that any proven fact (I presume you mean event) has not occurred.

"and claiming that it is safer to wait for a bus in the median,"
I have made no such claim, but there is no reason to believe otherwise.

"even an uncleared median,"
Again, I have made no such claim, but have no reason to believe otherwise.

"which most likely would be the case based on past experience,"
Again, past experience shows nothing here that would make the existing plan preferable to the proposed plan.

"than it would be to wait on a sidewalk which is cleared by commercial establishments at major intersections before the city clears the snow,"
Sidewalks are certainly not reliably cleared to the curb before the city clears them. If you ever actually rode buses in the winter, you would know this.

"and alleging your opinions are facts."
I am very careful not to do so, unlike yourself.

"Of course one's mind would not be changed when his mind is made up already and not willing to entertain any new facts and is willing to make absurd arguments as you did like insisting passengers are not interested if fare machines are functioning or not. It was that comment when I stopped reading anything further that you wrote."
I suppose passengers would care- If it is broken, their ride is functionally free, so I would tend to think they would love it!

"It is plainly obvious that it is EXTREMELY important to SBS passengers that fare machines are reliable and functioning most of the time. It is a documented fact that all machines were out of order at one stop on the M60 last year for over a month."
You think passengers get upset when they don't have to pay a fare?

"If the passengers do not care about fare machine reliability, why did so
Many call Channel 11 to complain? You make the most ridiculous statements out of your ass such as saying fare machine reliability is unimportant and has no place in a progress report, and you expect to be taken seriously. As I said before, you are nothing but a bad joke."
Again, WHY would passengers complain about what is functionally a free ride?

You read it after 100 or 200 posts in the thread. . First you and others kept insisting it wasn't worth reading because of what you called my "track record". You should have read it right away and not have insisted for so long that it was not worth reading.

So I wasn't lying about anything!
