Great ideas! The S92's southern leg also needs more frequent service, the buses are jam packed, they need to run every 15 minutes at certain times.
You did leave out one biggie though : SUNDAY SERVICE!

Of all the things, the fact there are no buses in Suffolk on Sunday is beyond pathetic. Its like they are stuck in the 1950s!

Little off-topic, I was wondering which terminal S92 bus begins from first?
Even from first stop, is awfull?

Thank you.
I was wondering if bus is also late for first run of day if it was coming from garage?

Aiight....here are the S92's Terminals!

Orient Point - 50 feet from the drive-in Ferry Dock for boats to New London, CT and other places

Greenport - Across the Street from an IGA supermarket, 5 blocks east and 2 blocks north of LIRR Greenport on Front St.

Riverhead - Obviously the RR station and the Courthouses on a few local junction points that include CR 94 and NYS 24.

Bridgehampton - Montauk Highway and Bridgehampton - Sag Harbor Turnpike near the RR station.

East Hampton - Newtown Road, just north of Montauk Highway. Actually there's a stop @ the RR station too.

Wait till you see my ideas...starting NOW!

S94 - Montauk Lighthouse to East Hampton.

S92 - Riverhead to East Hampton via ALL of Montauk Highway, no Sag Harbor!

10B - Bridgehampton RR via Bridgehampton/Sag Harbor Tpke and NYS 114 to 3 mile Harbor via East Hampton.

S84 - Riverhead to Greenport and Orient Point.

Limited Stops? How about:

S92! Stops would be:

East Hampton RR

Town line Road

Bridgehampton RR

Water Mill Town Road

Southampton RR and Hospital

Shinnecock Hills Country Club

Southampton College

Hampton Bays RR

Express to Riverhead!

S84? Stopping at:

Riverhead County Offices & RR station

Peconic Bay Med. Center

All Shopping centers around CR 58 in Riverhead

Tuthill Lane

Laurel Lane

Mattituck RR

Depot Lane

Southold RR

Sunrise Coach Garage

Greenport RR and IGA

Eastern LI Hospital

Rocky Pt Road

Narrow River Road

Orient Point Ferry Dock

Also a commuter Connection from Greenport to Orient Point Ferry Dock for LIRR customers only, known as the 9A. Flag system only.

Roads are clogged on Sunday, like that's different than any other day? Besides, maybe buses on Sunday would get people out of their cars?
The main problem with the S90 is the runs dont connect up with the Speonk shuttle. I think just adding a run earlier and a run later would help.
I dont think the many folks who ride the S66 between Moriches, Mastic, Shirley, and Riverhead/SCC would want that route cut back!
Since the S66 was extended ridership increased significantly. Having it end in Moriches was just crazy.
Yes, the S92 has to be split up. And like I said there needs to be additional runs to cope with the crowding, which is mainly between Bridgehampton and Riverhead.
Of course if they did something about the "Day laborers" service could stay as is, but right now they crowd the buses so bad that other folks cant get on.
I hear stories of folks going to Riverhead in the afternoon waiting for the S92 in Hampton Bays getting screwed when the bus goes right past them because it's full of day laborers. I dont know how anyone can stand for that, esp when elderly and disabled folks cant get a seat or even get on the bus.
Then again, if I was driving the S92 I'd buzz the day laborers at North Sea Rd in Southampton and leave 'em there.

S45- Keep The Same

you know more about SCT than I do, so I'll pose this question to ya...

Why is it, when you look @ the map & the online timetable, the S45 is designated to stop @ LIRR Smithtown...

...but the (only) 3 times I've taken the route, everytime, I get let off well short of middle country rd? It makes a u-turn on a small road that merges with hauppauge rd (again, that's short of middle country rd), and then continues SB....

^^ if it helps any, I was thinking maybe b/c it only serves the LIRR station during rush hours? This all happened to me, on the S45, b/w the hrs. of 10-11 am (on each occasion)....

Uhh, if you want Smithtown RR station on the S45 and the driver lets you off @ Middle Country Road, just walk westbound.

There's a stairway on the RR overpass that leads into Smithtown RR station anyway....

"10C- Keep The Same"

Hell no.

I suppose you never rode the 10C, have you?

The 1st bus out of Montauk Dock (6:50am) is SRO!

Rush hours this bus gets overloaded, Summertime I don't even wanna go there!

According to a old HJ driver, the 10C was seasonal when it 1st started around 20 years or so ago. Then came those Day Laborers from Riverhead and Southampton that came from the old S94 from Southampton to the Montauk Lighthouse....won't you believe it that MAD Jamaicans are in Montauk?

Then the 10C started seeing so much damnridership, that the 10C was made into a regular feeder route over 10 years ago! Ever since then, the S94 was cut to East Hampton, then Downtown Montauk, now? Summer Service only! Basically, the 10C and S94 flip-flopped.

So yeah, I say add 2 extra buses aka runs on the 10C, for the 10C is growing as fast as Bee-Line's Route 20.

Other Things To Be Done:

The Creation Of A Dispatch Center For All Buses Filled With Staff That Use To Dispatch For The Companies. To Be Located In Either Yanpank Or Happauge.

A Specal Card That Is To Be Shown To A Driver If U Are Transfering To Of From A Long Island Bus

people over the age of 65 and on medicare pay 25 cents.

service dogs for the blind will be allowed on the bus.

The Things That Are Not Going To Change:

No! And I Mean No Sunday Service, Enless There Ar Rotes That Are In Real And I Mean REAL Need For It.

And as i said before, No Limiteds Or Express Buses.

Uhh, if you want Smithtown RR station on the S45 and the driver lets you off @ Middle Country Road, just walk westbound.

There's a stairway on the RR overpass that leads into Smithtown RR station anyway....

its prob cuz the smithtown RR parking lot either doesn't have room for the bus to move around or its not accessable. i don't know

and...

...literally laughing out loud @ adding limiteds to SCT's routes... as if those buses come frequent enough to where riders can afford to have a bus bypass their "non-limited" stop...

*smmfh*

No! And I Mean No Sunday Service, Enless There Ar Rotes That Are In Real And I Mean REAL Need For It.

What do you have against Sunday service? Suffolk is one of the only near NYC 'burbs that doesn't have it.
It's ludicris you expect people without cars to either stay home or take expensive taxi cabs on Sundays.
I'm not saying there should be Sunday service on every route, but certainly the major routes, like the S1, S40, S58, S92,etc.
I'll bet you ridership on the new Sunday routes will do very well. I think most ppl here agree with me on this.
It's ridiculous not to have bus service on Sundays. Especially for those people who work in the malls who rely on the bus. Maybe you should give them money for cabs.

Just to add there was a time the N27 didn't run on a Sunday. With a few years buses are now often running pretty full, on a Sunday, on the N27. Bet the same thing would happen with some ST routes, especially the ones that serve malls.
