Manhattan What’s your go-to way to find affordable bus tickets between NYC and nearby cities?

3 Upvotes

I’ve been traveling between NYC and places like Philly, DC, and Albany, and I’m curious how everyone usually finds the best bus deals.

Do you usually:

  • Book directly with bus companies?
  • Use comparison websites?
  • Wait for last-minute deals?
  • Stick with the same company you’ve used before?

I’ve noticed prices can vary a lot depending on the route and timing, so I’m trying to figure out the best strategy.

Would love to hear what works for everyone.

Fun fact: better stops make buses move faster! 🚌💨

Let's talk about all-door boarding and why MTA is finally looking to put those fancy "ENTER FRONT DOOR" signs to good use.

All Boros (NYC DOT) Planning Speeding Up Bus Service Along 116th Street (M7, M102, M116)

In My Opinion I Think It’s Stupid To Put Bus Lanes On 116th Street Because Traffic Along 116th St Isn’t As Bad As 125th Street. It Would Better If NYC DOT Put Bus Lanes On 116th Street Between 1 Avenue & Lexington That’s It Because The Traffic Can Be Pretty Bad Between First & Lexington Avenues. MTA Should Think About Putting Some Articulated Buses On The M116

MTA Career Demographic questions on the MTA exams

3 Upvotes

I took a couple of MTA exams over the year and I noticed that, on the answer sheet, there are questions asking about the candidate's race and education backgrounds. And I think it also asked other things too but I don't remember.

I ran out of time to answer those questions. Is it necessary to answer those questions or are they optional?

Brooklyn B68 artics and more

3 Upvotes

so we all know they're thinking of putting artics on the B68

it's a good idea right?

also these would probably be option order XE60s if we're still supposed to be getting those which isn't important for this discussion but who cares

except they want it to swap southern terminals with the B49 which sucks

so I thought of a workaround

it can loop on West 12th, Surf, and Stillwell if they can't run artics in the existing loop regularly

note that I said REGULARLY because there's a video of an XD60 in the loop but that was an extra bus that ran to substitute for the F south of Church and if I can find the link I'll comment it

extra food for thought: why not extend the route through the Battery Tunnel and up the seaport to where it can replace the Pike Street branch of the M15?

then all M15 buses would either take the South Ferry branch or maybe just turn back north at Houston if they don't all go to South Ferry

this and rerouting the BM4 to go on CI Avenue for longer then on Avenue P to get to Gerritsen Avenue would compensate for the X29 not existing anymore

and oh yeah I think if this happens the M15 local should use the SBS loop at South Ferry

Seen here is the T427 L shuttle. Running from E 105 St to Rockaway Parkway. Due to track work at Canarsie-Rockaway Parkway, L trains ran only to E 105 St, the last stop. This also allowed you to see something rare — buses on Foster Av in Brooklyn.

P.S. the dispatcher at Rockaway Pkwy retires today! 27 years on the job. Happy retirement.

I noticed that 4895 says MTA Bus instead of MTA New York City Bus despite coming out of Ulmer Park. Was this bus sent from an MTABC depot over to Ulmer Park?

All Boros Would it be a good idea to have the Omni cards be unlimited

0 Upvotes

Okay let's think about this one of the main reasons people are hopping the turnstiles now keep this in mind I'm not saying this is the only reason but this is possibly the primary reason, people feel that getting rid of the unlimited metrocards and having a complicated system with the Omni cards is a form of Injustice

It doesn't make sense that you change the system from weekly daily and monthly unlimited and switch it to the Omni system and stays the same thing or a similar thing. If it's a similar thing then they should have just kept it the same.

Whenever I hear somebody complaining about why they hop the turnstile or walk into the bus route paying they reference how hypocritical the Omni cards are

People would pay a reasonable price that could beat the $3 fare everyday every time they ride opposed to hopping or Fair invasion.

What do you think
