Please Restore n6 Limited and Improve Some NICE Routes
We're residents, riders and elected officials in Nassau County and Queens urging Veolia Transportation's NICE Bus to restored n6 limited service during rush hour or additional stops on n6x Express and have n6x return to 165th St Bus Terminal all day rush hours.
Right after n6 express replaced n6 limited, it is not unreliable for people who boards at 165th St Bus Terminal, and former n6 Limited riders must depends on UNREALIABLE n6 local, which comes often in BUNCHES jaccording to bus riders and senior bus operators, which is often dangerously overcrowded.
If n6 Limited cannot come back, n6 express need to make additional stop at Jamaica Av/Francis Lewis Blvd.
Also, n20 local/limited to/from Hicksville or CW Post is not timing with n27 connection because of elimation of n21 lead to overcrowding n20. During the weekday off-peak and weekend, when they miss n27 connection, they had to wait unrealiable 1-hour wait.
Weekday-Saturday n20 Roslyn trip should be extended to Greenvale for flavor or n27 riders.
n20 boarding at Flushing going eastbound and westbound boarding at Great Neck are also dangerously overcrowded.
Also on weekend, n27 and n23 situation at Roslyn Station are JUST Horrible.
Sometimes connecting bus wait and sometimes don't wait, which forces some riders to/from Glen Clove to spend 1-hour extra waiting for next bus.
n27 off-peak service to/from Roosevelt Field Mall need to be expand to weekend because both n23 and n27 on weekend on 1-hour headway does not make any sense.
Also along n2/n8 Green Acres Loop, according to some bus riders, old n8 route run by MTA Long Island Bus has history of poor service and even with combined n2/n8 as loop bus by Veolia NICE, it is still having problem.
Also, during PM Rush Hour, n4 Freeport boarding at Jamaica Center between 17:30pm to 7:30pm, even with 15 minutes rush hour, 30 minutes weekday evening hasn't improved.

Why is this important?
To restore n6 limited, improve service on n2/n8, evening trip on n21, n20/n27 connection and weekend n23/n27 connection, and n4 situation during rush hour especially.
