BM5 via Woodhaven Posted January 25, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 25, 2015 So, I use bustracker, and I was tracking the 12:52 PM BM5 from 63 Drive (and When it would get there) when I noticed this: QM15 Problems by BM5 via Woodhaven, on Flickr Now, for those that don't know what I'm talking about, the BM5 is slated to come half an hour after the QM15. The BM5 is in blue, and the QM15 in Brown. (The icon in front of the QM15 icon is a blue (inbound) icon).

I guess all the 6 Avenue riders gave up on the 15, because the 15 caught up to only 23 minutes behind schedule by the time it got to 57 Street (buses usually are there around 12 minutes late anyways, so they're used to the late buses and adjust).
