I am scheduled to go back this Friday to Brooklyn for final processing and apparently am supposed to start the training class Sunday July 26. Does anyone know how the final processing goes and what to expect? And did they do the background check already? I already passed medical and drug and alcohol test, also is the class 7 days straight or they give 2 days off?

I created an "awfulness" score for every stop in the city that updates in real time. It's a combination of average ridership on the route, wait time and bunching.

Every stop is ranked and you can see the how each line and stop has ranked over the last week. The idea is to answer the question: is it just me or is the route really that bad.

This is the sister site to my subway.fyi tracker (which proved to be very popular with city council members).

Feedback is *absolutely* welcome.

I’m beyond frustrated and super irritated with the horrible service from the B7. There’s always 1-2 busses from Bedstuy running to Midwood and whenever I check how many busses are running from Midwood to Bedstuy, ITS LIKE 6-8 BUSSES???!!! I wait more than 20 minutes each time for this god forsaken bus and genuinely it makes no sense how this bus line is not being audited bc literally wtf??????

I made this map to try to improve the Bronx Express bus network. IMO, some of these routes may not be feasible, so think of this as a simple brain exercise instead of anything serious.

I'll also be trying this for other boroughs, along with their local bus networks.

• BxM1: Rerouted via Major Deegan. M98-LTD will be modified to serve Inwood.
• BxM2: Rerouted via Henry Hudson Parkway, Riverside Drive, and Broadway.
• BxM3: Service remains unchanged.
• BxM4: Terminal relocated to Bedford Park (205 Street & Paul Avenue) to improve network flow.
• BxM4A: New route to serve the Norwood, Woodlawn, and Wakefield corridors.
• BxM5: Renumbered from BxM11. Rerouted via Bronxwood Avenue and Sandford Blvd to enhance regional connections.
• BxM6: Extended to absorb BxM10 service coverage in Morris Park.
• BxM7: Service remains unchanged.
• BxM8: Service remains unchanged.
• BxM8A: Peak-period express service providing direct access to City Island.
• BxM9: Service streamlined through Throgs Neck to align with new BxM12 operations.
• BxM10: Rerouted from Morris Park, extended northward to serve the Sandford Boulevard retail corridor.
• BxM12: New route serving Throgs Neck, Edgewater Park, and Locust Point.
• BxM17: Express connection from Co-op City to Lower Manhattan/Financial District.
• BxM18: Routed via Henry Hudson Parkway and Riverside Drive for rapid Downtown/Financial District access.

Route serving Broadway: BxM2

Routes serving Central Manhattan: BxM3, BxM4, BxM4A

Routes serving Midtown East: BxM5, BxM6, BxM7, BxM8, BxM8A, BxM9, BxM10, BxM12

Routes serving Downtown Manhattan: BxM17, BxM18

Any thoughts on this?

I went to Flushing two days ago and here are some of the pics I took (the last one is on the highway but D4500CL so yeah)

Is there anyway to get a bus shelter ad once it is taken down? I desperately want a World Cup ad from the bus shelter near my apartment but have no idea how I could get it once they’re taken down in a few days. Any ideas?!

These codes are so inconsistent especially the font size on NYCT.

Can someone explain to me briefly how the rdo and coa works ? Just started my line training and wanted to know how it works for the future.

This is very old

Is the M31 at York and 69th ( in front of NYP/Weill Cornell Hospital) heading north not active??

They moved the stop from one side of the college's entrance to the other, right in the middle of where all the food trucks are, although they put in seats as well. Food trucks still park there anyways, its ridiculous that there is no enforcement, but even when they dont, I regularly see the bus (not even half full) ignore the people waiting there and drive right by.

Many of these are patients or nurses, and they all seem confused as to why its not stopping. The bus driver seems to make eye contact and people will sometimes physically indicate they want to get on as the bus approaches, but they still drive on by?

This happened to me twice before I gave up and just walked thr 10 blocks, but bc there is a constant cycle of patients coming and going, this just seems to happen over and over again (my window faces this stop so I see this happen a lot, many of whom are ill/have mobility issues... it is a hospital after all).

Is it no longer a stop? It is on the official MTA app still? So confused.

Edit/update: I appreciate everyone's help. No solution as of now. There was a group of 5 or 6 highly-visible people waiting at bus stop today trying to actively flag down driver and they did not stop so I have to assume that for whatever reason they are not able or wanting to pick up from here, even when no food trucks are blocking. So...I guess im walking lol

On the number 6 bus going to Hunts point no air conditioning and I been on since Washington heights. Terrible service and you want to check to see if people payed their fare 😮‍💨 5:47am mind you and it's almost 80.🥵

Any fellow b48 riders here? I ride it at the prospect park terminal. I try to catch it when I can but it seems to leave at completely random times. Today I was going to catch it at 1pm but it left before 12:50. It’s always so early. I’ve never caught it on time. Is it the operator or something else?

Was on a SBS bus today. NYPD came onto the bus and stood next to both back doors. Almost everyone that came on, walked right passed them without paying. Thought it was very bold of them and also funny the cops did nothing. Does it even make sense to pay anymore?

How late do buses run? Could I find information for a specific line somewhere? PS Manhattan to Weehaken

What do we think about this potentially filling in the gap left by Novabus leaving the American market?
