There are leasing arrangements or other deals that could have been worked out. During ten months of the year there would have been no removal of cash flow. If that is an issue, the route could be suspended for July and August. During the summer, the lot is not used to capacity on weekdays, so again there would have been no removal of cash flow.As far as preventing beachgoers from using that part of the lot on summer weekend It could have its own entrance and exit requiring a MetroCard swipe which deducts a fare if another mode of transit is not used within an hour. You are correct by stating the MTA could not do this by themselves. I shoukd have mentioned in the letter that we were talking about federal property but tried to keep it as short as possible so it would be published. I don't know anything about the old Neponsit Nursing Home, but that certainly may be a feasible alternative if the Q35 would also stop there. If only the new route would stop there, that would be a disadvantage since someone would have to commit to the new route before parking there and if it operates only every 30 minutes, that might be enough discouragement for riders not to use it. |

Why do you feel the need to criticize many things I write just because you disagree with my views on autos and pedestrians? I have complimented your attention to detail regarding the MTA's poor signage. Yet you can never find anything to compliment me on even when I am much more familiar with the area and situation than you are.I appreciate that - - but I am just as familiar with the areas as you - - your writings about being against SBS are mostly concentrated in Brooklyn and Queens, why don't you ride the Bx41SBS to see how it runs? We are critical on lots of things against the MTA but my criticism is fixing signage and announcements - - your criticism on SBS may be true on some counts but you offer no real solutions to improve SBS. Your articles are leaning towards automobile drivers, such as you being against the ban on left turns along Woodhaven Blvd Your statement on the Brighton line is true but you need to understand people's perceptions - - customers only think that Sheepshead Bay station is much further away than Flatbush/Nostrand. |

The nursing home was just west of B.149 St on Rockaway Beach Blvd. The Q35 and Q22 stop there. Actually, that is the transfer point from the 35 to 22 when returning from Brooklyn. I am talking about a block length from the exit of Riis Park, so in reality a time difference is negligent. |

Am rarely in the Bronx and see no need to make a special trip just to ride it. Did I ever criticize the Bx41? Just a few times like complaining how the fare machines had to be replaced after three years because no one thought of weather protection. That was just a dumb oversight that resulted in wasting millions Of dollars.As far as how it runs and if it is an improvement, I never debated that it wasn't. I even stated early on that I was pro SBS in concept and supported the Bx 41. I was critical of why the M15 was chosen and over the years became more and more critical of SBS as I became more familiar with the process. As far as improving Woodhaven SBS, I have made numerous suggestions. They should go with concept 1 and allow HOV in the bus lane. I also stated the bus lane should begin at 3 PM, not 4 PM and it shoukd not run past rush hours. I like their latest proposal for Cross Bay Blvd but I would have the curbside bus lanes in effect only in the peak direction. I think that is enough suggestions. My current position is that future SBS routes needs to be put on hold until contactless payment because it makes no sense to purchase fare machines that will be scrapped in 2019 even if the Feds pay for it. |

Let's be honest with each other, I just might be more qualified then you think on the Rockaway end. Whether you were/are good/bad/indifferent in regards to transportation planning, I know what I have seen and dealt with in that area. That area can be a problem and the Marine Park Bridge sometimes don't help. And the residents can be interesting to say the least.No, I am not trying to insult you. If I was, believe me, you would not mistake it. |

Now, why not set up at the old Neponsit nursing home, if that area is available? Last I knew, the area was fenced in with a security guard watching for trespassers.There's a deed restriction that the property can only be used for public health or as a public park. Otherwise it would have been turned into a hotel by now. |

The Turtle is a graduate of a major university in the NYC area, has a wife and four children, and apparently resides in an area requiring a substantial income. These items would suggest either that his behavior in real life is radically different than it is on this site, OR that his behavior in the real world is just as bad as it is here, and he is benefiting from the maxim that sometimes, assholes in society do well anyway. Look at Trump to see an example of that principle in action. |

Oh, I grant that you might also be living off a huge trust fund, having achieved nothing of your own true merit in your entire life, but that would be speculation, too.But since you have actually posted here that you are the father of four children, one a recent newborn, it's reasonable to think you might enjoy a comfortable standard of living. That would suggest either of the two possibilities I outlined in my previous post are plausible. |

Q35 running time is about 17 minutes so I get a four minute difference.The travel time estimates on Google Maps are crowdsourced to an extent using user data (basically, Google using the GPS data from user phones), so these should be considered automobile speeds. Transit buses are slower than automobiles, so the 13-miunte estimate using Google Maps would almost certainly be several minutes longer for a bus. |

As far as I know, no one has even bothered to produce a list of posts showing a pattern such as I described. I expect that the reason for that is that they can't - i.e. no such list or pattern can be found.Your coding seems to be improving. There's good. I'm glad you're listening now.

I knew something was wrong with the coding before you wrote any thing. BUT did you tell me what was wrong with the coding? Of course not. You just like to run posters into the ground which is why very few want to deal with you.Bus has written you changed what he wrote but you never admitted it even though he supplied PROOF! I think most posters have learned you only read what you want and change whatever people have written when it suits you. You act like it's a secret--BUT it's NOT! |
