I take a two hour commute to work which should take me about 20 minutes or so by car. I use the N23 and the N27 buses, and the N23 has a great frequency of buses that come continuously within the 30+ minute wait (depending on if the driver feels like coming on time... which could be about another 30 or so minutes to wait) for the N27. The buses are garbage dumps inside, and a lot of the equipment aren't even functioning right. I've felt the pain on a lot of LIRR rides, too.

The amount of breakdowns is ridiculous. The other day my bus had to pick up ppl from an N27 that broke down in front of the depot on Commercial ave. And there were 2 other buses that were broken down as they left the depot.
Then today bus 364 keeps stalling out, and 398 has an alarm beeping for the most of the trip. I think our county legislators and Suozzi should be forced to deal with this crap for a month and see how they like it!
