Since when are buses allowed on the Parkways? |

Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Wed Jul 16 14:18:59 2008 I was driving from Bushwick along the Jackie Robinson/Interboro parkway a couple hours ago, and all the way from the Bushwick Ave entrance ramp, right through to the Grand Central linterchange, there was a FULL length, full height school bus in front of me. Of course, it had to use both lanes to get through the Kew Gardens area, where it crosses by the subway, but it fit under all the bridges. I have always seen those mini school buses, or those "Access a Ride" buses on the JR Parkway, but never a full sized school bus.Then, about 15 minutes later, another full length school bus on the Grand Central (or it could have been the Northern State, I don't know if that was before I crossed the nassau border). I never saw them on the parkways before, I always thought full buses were not allowed on the parkways, or more so, that they wouldn't fit under the bridges, but obviously they do. And especially on the JR/Interboro Parkway, which aside from the Bethpage Parkway, seems to be the least upgraded parkway of them all. So much for the Robert Moses/Bus Consipiracy Theorists. |
