We're riders of NICE Bus riders/passengers regarding the complication with departure timings.
The bus n26 departing from Great Neck Station to Jamaica at 5:00 PM is causing many difficulties for the people leaving their work post 5:00 PM. Most of the passengers leave their work at 5:00 PM and miss their bus due to the set departure time, 5:00 PM; and there is no other bus departing after this time period. This leads to many difficulties such as having to change too many buses to reach the destination post missing the bus (n26) and certain weather conditions such as snow storms or heavy rain causes abundant amount of complications. Also, people are highly inclined towards getting injured in the rush and pressure. So, it is our urgent request to you to please have the departure time set at least 15 minutes later (5:15 PM) to reduce the amount of difficulties that local passengers go through post their exhausted day from work and mental pressure of missing their bus.
We're also asking the NICE Bus to add one more trip to Jamaica at 5:15 or 5:20pm if they cannot reschedule last 5pm bus to Jamaica.
Why is this important?
n26 which only has three trips in AM from Jamaica Bus Terminal to Great Neck Station, and while PM trip with last bus ending at 5pm heading from Great Neck Station to Jamaica.
This is problem for many businesses in Great Neck, where people want last 5pm n26 to Jamaica to leave at 5:15pm or add one more trip like 5:15 or 5:20pm as last bus.
