The trip started at the Hudson Link "BRT" "station" in Suffern. Soon enough, a minibus pulled up, and I boarded. The farebox, which shockingly was electronic, was also broken, so I didn't have to pay the $2 fare. We pulled out of the stop, turned right on Chestnut St, and left on Lafayette Av (also signed as Route 59).

We headed east out of downtown Suffern on Lafayette Av, but less than a minute after leaving downtown, we turned left to make our first deviation, to the Esther Gitlow Towers. We pulled in and looped around, no one got on, and we turned left back out onto Route 59.

We passed by the Good Samaritan Hospital without deviating, but immediately after passing it, we started our second deviation. Where to, you ask? The "Bon Aire Circle Swimming Pool", according to the schedule. Um...ok, Transit of Rockland, you do you. Anyway, we turned right onto Campbell Av, and then right again onto Bon Aire Circle.

We passed some quite large homes, before turning right on Milford Ln, and right again on Bon Aire Circle West (creative street names, I know). We passed where the GTFS data and schedule referred to as the swimming pool timepoint, and...there wasn't a swimming pool to be seen. Just a parking lot with a "No Parking" sign.

We finished this deviation by turning back on to Bon Aire Circle, and then retracing our steps to Route 59. We turned right on Route 59, passing some forested areas, as well as a very crappy-looking strip mall. We finally left the village of Suffern, then immediately turned right on Airmont Rd to make a deviation to the Pondview Apartments.

We continued on Airmont Rd to Pondview Drive, and turned left here, passed through the Pondview Apartments, then went around a mini-traffic circle, and headed back to Airmont Rd. We headed north to Route 59, then crossed it to start our next deviation, to Airmont Gardens.

We turned right on De Baun Av, passing a gas station, then looped around Airmont Gardens, which appeared to be a senior living community. We then turned right back onto Airmont Road, passing a very cool-looking (but sadly derelict) diner, then turned left back onto Route 59.

We soon reached a Walmart, which the schedule says we deviate into, but the GTFS says we don't. We ended up deviating, and headed around the parking lot, eventually coming back to Route 59, and turning left. Wait, why are we slowing down? Why are the doors opening? WHY ARE WE PICKING SOMEONE UP OUTSIDE THE WALMART AFTER DOING A DEVIATION TO THE WALMART?!?!? TRANSIT OF ROCKLAND, HOW DRUNK WERE YOU WHEN YOU THOUGHT THIS UP?!??!?!

After that waste of time, we continued on Route 59, and turned left on Spook Rock Road, beginning a double-deviation. All was normal as we turned left on Dashew Dr into the Montebello Commons. However, when we got to the end of the road, instead of using the parking lot to turn around, we literally just backed up and did a 3-point turn. You know what, I've given up trying to understand these deviations.

We turned left on Spook Rock Rd, starting the longest deviation of the route, to Rockland Community College. We turned right on Highview Rd, in a very classic-for-Rockland-County leafy suburban area. When we hit College Rd, we were supposed to turn left to head up to RCC, but we just completely skipped that, and turned right instead. I would say that's a bad thing, but the RCC deviation is actually the most useless, as both the 94 and 59 go to Spring Valley from there, in faster time than this route.

With that out of the way, we headed back to Route 59, and turned left, crossing over the thruway and entering the town of Monsey. We soon turned right on Saddle River Rd, then left on Old Nyack Turnpike. After passing through more of suburbia, we turned left on Route 45, which soon brought more urbanism with it as we entered Spring Valley. We turned right on Franklin St, then left into the Spring Valley Transit Center, ending this adventure!
