Nassau Inter-County Express

Nassau Inter-County Express (also known as "NICE") is a group in the ROBLOX transit community that is based on the same agency of the same name. Owned between ManhattanBound7Train, CuxzleThePeanut, Endxier, and redscarything3000, the group has had it's ups and downs between time.

History
The group itself was created in February of 2020 by CuxzleThePeanut. However the group saw no activity until August of 2020, when CuxzleThePeanut handed over ownership to ManhattanBound7Train. With a handful of developers, the group first developed a map that solely features the N48 route. However, there were no buses, so they had to borrow RTS buses from the Queens Transit Authority. This idea did not last long, and the developers decided to start development on a new map that would compensate for the inaccuracies of the N48 map.

I&E Solutions initially had a ownership stake in the group, which could provided the group with some good buses to use. Eventually, CuxzleThePeanut got access to their Orion V and XN40. (This units were eventually made public by I&E with the exception of the XN40.) This game was made into a free drive, allowing anyone to drive or ride the buses (with the Orion Vs being available to the public).

The group saw almost no activity during 2021, due to staff shortages and lack of motivation. However in December 2021, CuxzleThePeanut had raised enough money to start a huge ad campaign. This helped a lot, and the group went from 120 members to nearly 260 by the end of the ad circulation.

However, I&E Solutions pulled their support after a unspecified incident.

The group initially had a partnership with Suffolk County Transit in a group alliance called Long Island Transit, but this fell apart within 2 weeks of creation.

The group as of June 26, 2022 has more than 500 members, a huge accomplishment.
