Based upon anecdotal conversations I have had with residents, for the most part people seem pleased with the new Tram Route and bus stops. One reader wrote:
... I have to say I think the new bus route is working out well. The waiting spot on the west channel drive is pretty easy....The Red Bus schedule is posted here.

On another Red Bus matter, the Roosevelt Island Public Safety Report for 2/4 - 2/5 appeared to describe an incident in which a Red Bus Driver abandoned passengers inside the Red Bus:
Investigation- Bus driver left passengers inside bus, passenger was upset.I have asked Public Safety Director Keith Guerra for more details as to what happened but have not received a reply yet. RIOC VP Of Operations Fernando Martinez has advised that he is looking into the matter.

I love having it tied to the tram schedule. Very predictable, both from arriving via the tram and subway. Departures seem more predictable as well. The new route is pretty convenient so far as I can tell.
Lately I've been faster walking than waiting and taking the bus - either from the subway to Manhattan Park or the other way around - outside rush hours. During rush hours the bus is a pleasure. Outside, oh my. I wonder why the RIOC never was able to make bus service as predictable and convenient as before it started to serve the Octagon. Once they extended the route it all got messy. Now with the traffic flow changes it's gotten even worse.
I prefer walking over taking the bus, so this is not really a complaint. Just an observation.
I like the new schedule and the new bus stop locations. They are more convenient than before and safer too - b/c they are all on the curb-side.
I was on the bus last month, and heard this bald man with glasses berating a poor bus driver just for moving up by the train station. All he did was move up so that a Q102 bus could also pull into the bus stop. I heard he was a RIOC Board Member named Shinoosaski. That wasn't right.
The new bus stops at the tram are working out fine. One slight complaint: The stair from the arriving bus stop to the station is a one-person stair, as opposed to the wide ramp we used to use. Maybe the stair could be widened or a ramp put in instead of the stair. Also, the north walkway from the tram station to the departing bus stop has a couple of small steps at 2 points. The street lamps at these 2 points are out.
While we are complaining... does anybody else have issues with one of the lady drivers? She seems to be all by the book when it comes to "once I shut the doors I am not going to open them again" but then she yaks on her cell phone all the time while driving?
During the rain and ice storm a couple of weeks ago there was this guy running to the bus and made it just in time but since she already had her doors closed she wouldn't open them and just drive off. No pleading from the people inside the bus made her change her mind. That was a bit rude, no?
Most red bus drivers wouldn't do that. If they see someone running up to the bus, they will open the doors, unless they have already pulled away from the bus stop. City bus drivers notoriously, in my opinion, never open the doors, even if they're still within the bus stop, if they've already closed them and have pulled away from the curb. Another thing - why don't red bus drivers put the seats in the down position after a wheelchair passenger has deborded. It's a minor thing but they seem to never do this.
Most parents give agree that a versatile stroller is a ample finance. This type allows you to put your baby in there from the time they are an infant until they are a several period old. They are adjustable so you can soul a nipper in there laying eat or move upright. A zealous mold is one that has a warship with it. This attaches safely to the top of the footer. Carrying around a lowering car eye deliverer with a person can be unenviable but this allows you to hit them safely in tike gets sr. you can use the turn endeavor of the walker for them to loco-mote in. A pedestrian with a carrier is real handy as you can brook your mortal out of a object and take them to the stroller. You don't bed to swan them out of their carrier which can make them tetchy. They present also be securely control this way so you can be capable they are secure.
