Welcome to the third episode of Late Friday Links. If your waiting on the checkout line at a store, here are some Black Friday links to help you pass the time, and by the way, I've posted quite a few posts this week, so make sure to check back and make sure you didn't miss anything!
The MTA had previously installed cameras on the M79 & BX35 routes (yeah, I have no idea what those are) to find people who park & block bus lanes, but recently it mistakenly tickled more then 3,800 vehicles!
I know this isn't close to as interesting as the previous link, nor the following two (hint-hint), but it's still a bit interesting that they need to do this. If this will help evenly space the busses, then good.
The New York City Transit Museum will be bringing back the Holiday Nostalgia Rides this 2024 Holiday season!!! They will run every Sunday in December, and will run on the (F) from 2nd Avenue- Houston Street at 10am, 12pm, 2pm, & 4pm going uptown to 96 St, and will depart 96 St - 2nd Avenue going downtown at 11am, 1pm, 3pm, and 5pm. I'm definitely hoping to go this year as I had missed it last year (the one week I thought I could go my dad said no and I ended up going to Mineola for a bit for the first time).
I just saw this article while looking for articles today, and I think this is very cool. They have decorated an M8 with Christmas Lights and other very festive things and will be randomly operating it on the New Haven, Harlem, & Hudson Lines! It's important to note that this is not an event, it'll just operate randomly, and that you'll have to look out for it. I don't know if I'll be able to get on it this year, but I'll see and if I do I'll definitely slide some photos! It's crazy how the M8s are perfect for the job, they can operate on all 3 lines, they're red, and they are available.
I hope everyone enjoys their weekend off and if you (like me) have a holiday festival this weekend, enjoy!
