OMNY coming to Nice in 2020 |
|
|
Posted by Joe on Fri Jul 19 15:31:12 2019 Newsday today reports that Nice promises to have OMNY on all buses by the end of 2020.--- Nice has passengers on some routes, such as N40/41, but my N19 goes through Seaford empty. It used to drop off workers all along Merrick Road, but the terrible schedule makes for workers missing trips home. There is a midday gap of five hours. To get passengers, you must provide service both ways all day long. |

Transdev operates Nassau Inter-County Express and the Tramway de Nice, both! Apparently, the Nice Tramway requires that you validate your ticket at each boarding, as Luas in Dublin (also operated by Transdev) does. I still don't understand what sort of chip is in a single-fare ticket, if any, nor do I understand whether the roaming ticket inspectors carry readers. |

It’s possible.If they did, and since Bee Line will most likely join in, obviously, imagine just how far you could conceivably travel on one fare card. Starting from what would be the northern most stop on the network, Carmel Bowl park and ride to as far out east as you can go. Best route I can figure on mostly local buses (because for some reason I can’t get a wink of fucking sleep tonight...) The First BL77 leaves at 6:20. It gets to the white plains transit center at 7:23. 7 minutes to get the Bronx bound BL60, which gets you down to Fordham Road at about 9. There is a BX9 bus from Fordham at 9:04, which would get down to The last stop at 9:21, down by the zoo. 9:28 Q44 SBS arrives in Jamaica at 10:57, just in time for the 11:00 N4. That gets you to Freeport for noon. You’re stuck there till 2:22, till the N19 picks up for a 3:07 arrival at sunrise mall. St20 leaves from the mall at 3:40, gets to Babylon at 4:15 4:30 st40 to patchouge at 5:15 5:30 St66 to riverhead at 6:30 6:50 St92 to east Hampton 8:10 which is where our adventure putters out. |
