The catch is that the Q88 would also be shortened to Springfield Garderns.

Just so you don't say that I'm trying to back up the idea

Even more evidence of what the new 88 would look like
And yes I know about the situation, but only service past Junction would be affected, and people can use the Q72 to the Q58 for service. For service to stops along 57 Avenue and on 98/99 streets and Christie Avenue, cant they just walk. Its like a 10 minute walk. And service to the terminal at Otis Will still be provided by the Q88. Bascially little amounts of people will be hurt.
The 88 would have short turns since the buses are more frequent then the 38. AM Rush hours every 3rd bus, MIDDAY every 2nd Bus, PM rush every 2nd Bus, andevenings every bus would be extended to Middle Village. Weekends Every bus goes to Middle Village, except middays on Saturdays when every other bus runs along eliot. The additional time for the seniors would be around 2-5 minutes depending where they go.
