here are the latest changes of significance

n24 - weekday service operates at even time intervals throughout the day and every other midday trip operates to reckson bldg or 60 charles lindbergh. sat has been improved from 35 min to 30 min even intervals leaving both ends at :15 and :45 after the hour with the last bus from 165 now at 12:15 and the first at 6:15. sun has also been realligned with a similar 1 hour service as b4 but leaves at the same :15 after each hour from both ends as the saturday and weekday midday service (the weekday eastbound schedule on the mta website has NOT been updated, it must have been overlooked by scheduling dept) sun eb leaves 165 from 7:15 to 11:15

the n71/n72 has been completely redesigned on sat/sun

sat - the only n70 trip to operate on the w/e early sat morn to newsday is gone. there are earlier trips to/from sunrise mall and the buses have been spaced at 15 min intervals during early am. midday service intervals have been slightly reduced from like 25 min headways to even 30 min headways with babylon trips leaving :15 after every hour and mall trips leaving at :45 after every hr but late evening service gaps have been filled and there is 1 bus every hour all day with no gaps on all branches. wb trips all depart by lirr, sun mall, and rte 110 at even intarvals throughout the day

sun is the same - there are earlier trips to sunrise mall and all service operates from hemp at :15 and :45 after every hour but on sun the mall trips are :15 after and the farmingdale trips are :45 after. the late evening service gaps to/from farmingdale have been filled and there is 1 bus every hour like clockwork from all ends

n62 - all trips have been rescheduled to depart free lirr 5 minutes later b/c looking at the babylon branch timetable - there is an eb train due into free at like :19 or :20 after every hour so the trips have been adjusted 5 min to allow transfers from those trains

n48/n49 is very minor

on weekdays there used to be 20 minute headways leaving hkrr at like 7:30 to 8:30 in the evening b/c of the later trips turning at the mall instead of the quad. one trip has been eliminated and the half hr headways remain consistent

on sat - there were late evening trips from hemp that terminated at the medical center and did not operate thru to mall and there was no return service from mall but those trips have been extended and the sat evening sched is now identical to the weekday with a 9:30 n48 trip from mall on sat nite

n31/ n32 on the weekends is minor - just some early am service gaps that have been filled and times adjusted to provide even intervals

n33 has been redesigned to leave both ends at :20 and :50 after each hour thru out much of the weekdays and at :00 and :30 from each end on sat and sun

n16 is some am time adjustments with some shortrips being combined into 1 thru trip *****N16 IS AN RVC ROUTE SINCE JAN 2010 SO MOST TRIPS TO FROM WEST BLVD/OAK ST ARE GONE AND STREAMLINED INTO THRU TRIPS******
