But the Bee Line Bus rep said Dobbs Ferry asked for the change. It is not something that Bee Line wanted or asked for.<br /><br />The problem is that those who use the bus are not those who generally speak up about stuff.The Amateur Transporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11004281174306673509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862444008740250372.post-61754471898460564812011-11-26T15:38:50.552-05:002011-11-26T15:38:50.552-05:00@Rob B: Was that the #6 route?

And when was this done?<br /> <br />It's amazing how they'll complain about a bus running every 30 minutes, but they won't say anything about the noise from automobiles?<br /><br />By the way, why weren't they able to move the 1T, 1C, and 1W from the street?George Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15288033149559815848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862444008740250372.post-46000845339785494952011-11-26T04:03:14.549-05:002011-11-26T04:03:14.549-05:00.

Either way keep up the excellent quality writing, it is rare to see a great blog like this one today.. <br /><a href="http://www.astretchout.com/ny-limo/brooklyn-limousine-service.html" rel="nofollow">Brooklyn Limousine Service</a>sanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08267682543704247227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862444008740250372.post-37179770934265090742011-11-23T23:23:04.784-05:002011-11-23T23:23:04.784-05:00Au Contraire, the quarrying continues in Haverstra...Au Contraire, the quarrying continues in Haverstraw and Stony Point. Check out some older Erie line maps in Rockland County on my blog: http://haverstrawlife.com/2011/03/09/our-history-of-trains/ The line through Piermont actually ended at a terminal station on Main Street in Nyack (where the Riverspace Theatre is now/M&T Bank). That line connected with the now-Pascack Valley Line at Nanuet Junction. The Spring Valley Line continued north all the way to New Main Street in Haverstraw. There was also a New City branch from Nanuet. An expansive rail network indeed.jarod213https://www.blogger.com/profile/06944625937272147091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862444008740250372.post-35491157443921652402011-11-23T12:28:11.289-05:002011-11-23T12:28:11.289-05:00Some of us in these "River Towns" are tr...Some of us in these "River Towns" are trying to reverse the clock. As these towns continue to grow, New Urbanist developers are trying to attract wealthier dwellers, leading to calls for the removal of bus lines off of the Main Streets. Noise complaints are a big factor, but also that those that rely on the buses are generally poorer immigrants and not represented in local government.<br /><br />This just happened in Dobbs Ferry, where one of the bus routes was moved out of downtown to Route 9. It is "only" 150 yards away up a steep hill to a route with no pedestrian amenities, but none of the users -- generally working-class immigrants -- ever complain publicly.The Amateur Transporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11004281174306673509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862444008740250372.post-27846053912140177732011-11-23T03:14:08.620-05:002011-11-23T03:14:08.620-05:00Yes, exactly.

So many American cities were proto-transit cities (more on that on my blog, later) but converted to car cities...<br /><br />One nitpick: wasn't the Northern Branch part of the West Shore Railroad rather than the Erie?Alonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267294744186811858noreply@blogger.com
