It's good for NYers to hear from an "out-of-towner" that things have improved over time, as that may not be seen if one is just comparing rides from day to day.Yes, regarding the express buses, they cannot be counted on for punctuality one bit. You need to have plenty of time to spare. But they are good for a comfortable and often extra-spacious (if they are near-empty) ride and to see various parts of the city above ground that you may not otherwise go to if you stick to your routine. I never use express buses unless I know I can safely arrive at my intended destination 60-90 minutes after the timetable says without getting in some sort of trouble. Not that I'm always 60-90 minutes late, but I keep that buffer for peace of mind. If you come back to NYC within what I think is a year after card expiration, you can just go to a vending machine and trade in for a new card, same value, no questions asked. After that you would need to fill out paperwork I believe and then it all comes down to whether you think the value to be recovered is worth doing that. |
