46Dover Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted October 21, 2014 I don't remember a Bx21 Astoria, but I do remember the M35 running to Queens.... If you get a subway map with the double letters on the strip map side, you'll see it there. I'd like to know the origin and it's purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted October 21, 2014 Share #4 Posted October 21, 2014 The old Bx21 I believe ran between Jackson/138th in The Bronx to 37th Avenue & 21st Street in Astoria. I think the routing was split....after it was taken over by MaBSTOA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotham Bus Co. Posted October 21, 2014 Share #5 Posted October 21, 2014 Who here remembers the Bx21 going to Astoria and connecting with the RR train and the M35 at Astoria Blvd? If you go back far enough, you'll find a multi-headed "TB" route which eventually became three distinct routes: - Bx21 (Jackson/138 to Astoria) - M34 (Lex/125 to Randalls Island) - M35 (Lex/125 to Astoria) Eventually the M34 and M35 were merged into one route (M35) which was later restructured to form the M60. Meanwhile, the Bx21 died on the vine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Sith Posted October 24, 2014 Share #8 Posted October 24, 2014 That would be 37th STREET & 21st AVENUE. Correction-24th Ave. Thanks for that, I had a feeling I had something typed out wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
