Astoria Line

I think w/the head on top too.. unlike other guys in my school who think w/ the other head One thing that I have noticed is (at least in my school) , guys who think all the time about getting "some" mostly never do .. I find it amusing With "swag" I always thought it was like how you dress, not necessarily game or any of that .... Girls tell me that I have swag (Idk if it how I dress, which I have been told is really well, or if its the piercings lol or if its the way I talk to them )but they aren't worth my time at all... A lot of girls have this "I do what I want attitude" and that bothers me.. Like if you're gonna go out w/me, we are doing what I want to do not you lol.. And at the end of the day, I think we all want peace at mind....

The older chicks know a bit more than the younger ones, thats what I suppose.... and there was a thread about the amt. of likes, I think a lot of ppl here think that it should be increased, i think that it should be increased too. There are a lot of good things being said in these forums and it really sucks when you get the message and can't like a good post :/ EDIT: I realized that I just gave you your 100th like!

I have told like 2 girls that before and they were like "I don't do that" (even tho they clearly do) I'm sure there are girls that would say that about me, but idc, its not like I would date a girl who has an attitude like that lol and a lot don't know what they want, which they need to realize.. With the ignorance and shallowness, that IMO has come from society and the media and the need that they should have the best looking guy or w/e.. Its really unfortunate... And Btw, I hate when I get the "you have reached your quota of positive votes for the day" message , especially when its a really good post

So true, its actually kind of sad.. Girls are like walking contradictions because if they say that all guys are the same, then why are they so picky and judgemental, they think they know what the guy is already, if what they were saying was the truth then they would be dating ANY guy -.- Exactly why I have stopped dating, its so unnecessary.. Makes more sense for one to work hard in school, do their best and have fun w/their friends and make memories instead of dating someone who you aren't gonna be dating or may not even know in 5 or 10 years, worrying about if someone is cheating, or someones heart is gonna be broken, or spending time/money on that person....

Good. Then it'll be basically what I put minus the B/D...

While we are still on the topic of girls and relationships, I hate girls who dependent on men and I hate girls who only focus on looks. This one girl that goes to my school (she is a Sophomore now) is in a relationship w/a new guy every 3 days and they treat her bad and she always complains about it and she's a good girl, its really sad to see her turn out like this. But again, as I said, many feel the need to HAVE to be in a relationship for some reason... With girls who only focus on looks anger me because they are immature and turn down average looking guys that have awesome personalities and date jerks who they think are good looking, then they are the first to complain about not being able to find a good guy, like you not gonna get a good guy if you act the way you do smh...

runs between Coney and Prospect Park unchanged Broadway Local via Whitehall suspended runs in two sections : Grand - Norwood 36 St - Coney Island (as you said the SB Manhattan Bridge)

Lol! I see what you mean! I stopped dating for the rest of my time in h.s. until I meet someone who I am really into... I feel that relationships are an unnecessary stress that I don't need... These H.S. girls really aren't very mature, don't know what they want and are really annoying and confusing.. Its just very annoying to deal with tbh... I hate cheaters and I know girls who date multiple guys at once and use them (I tend to avoid those type of girls) Lol! Many ppl just date anyone for the sake of having a relationship, which leads to failed relationships as they don't get to know each other well, haven't made that mistake before, thank god!...

I feel you.. The only thing you could do is to keep trying to find a female that IS worth your time.. There has to be a girl out there that is...

If the headways are better than the Q19 AND run longer hours than it, ppl may use this Q45 over it. Those seeking the and the can connect to them at Broadway and it gives them another option... In Jackson Heights, majority ppl that live there either take the Q33/Q47/Q49 to the E/F/M/R/7 or they take the Q69 if they are going to Astoria (like many kids that attend my school do), so they probably won't ride this route unless they are making a transfer to another bus, they HAVE to transfer to the / OR they are going to Flushing and don't feel like dealing w/the .. Thats just based on the ridership habits that I have observed in that area (my stepdad's mother lives there and I frequently use the Q33 ad the Q47)

In Astoria, the route will most likely be used by schoolkids, that isn't a bad thing tho... It bypasses quite a few schools, and by experience, the kids will use them to connect w/the and at Broadway or the if they need it at Queensboro Plaza. I know friends who go to William Cullen Bryant H.S. (which your Q45 goes by) who take the (N)/(Q) to Broadway then walk a LONG distance to the school. Your route would give them a quicker and easier way to get to school.

Your talking about areas that have subway service? And idk why ppl don't go in richmond hill, the train is there (I tend to avoid it tho) and a few buses but thats about it. Its not like Flushing and Jamaica that have mutliple bus lines and essential connections and a lot of bus/train action, you can always find something good to photograph or to see in Jamaica and Flushing, can't say so for Richmond Hill tho...

I see what you mean by that, I don't normally follow trends either, I just think piercings are cool, but everyone has their own opinion, and it really depends on the type of piercing tbh.... I agree w/you on tattoos, I really hate them. find them ugly and don't understand the point of them, I get that ppl use them as a form of "art" and to express themselves but a lot of ppl OD on them (Lil Wayne, for example).... A lot of dudes in my school all want to get "tatted up", when they say that I just smh, it is so dumb....

You should reroute the EB route to serve the 71st Ave station directly by going down Queens Blvd or Austin St, then back up 108th St to Jewel Ave if possible, BUT idk if a route like that could garner ridership, maybe along Myrtle it will as it gives those riders that aren't going a long distance an option between the Q55 and Q64, but I don't think that Cooper will generate a lot of ridership for the route, it does go by Atlas Park but Atlas Park is dead, nobody really goes there anymore, many prefer Queens Center.... Its good that you are thinking of serving new areas tho

Gauges are cool, but some ppl OD and get really big ones, I was thinking of gauging my ears to a small gauge size lol, idk how it would look on me lol... And growing up a lot of my black guy friends had earrings too, and I see a lot of guys with them on the and the Q85, its kind of interesting... I've gotten pretty used to seeing dudes w/earrings and such, its pretty normal and you should try getting one ear pierced and see how it looks, and if you don't like it, you can always take the earring out and the hole will close, I didn't think that I would look good w/one at first, but after I got it, girls thought it was cute, doesn't hurt to take a risk! lol

Lmaoo "Nikki Mirage"! I agree, the media has put lots of pressure on girls nowadays to look a certain way so that they are attractive, and they don't appreciate their bodies, etc. Its sad really, but its also the same for boys too... Btw how do all of you feel about piercings? I have 3 (both ears; got the right one today and the left one in December) and snake eyes (tip of my tongue, got today as well, can't eat solid foods for a while -.-)

I was w/my friend today at the Union Square station around noon waiting for the to go to 1st Avenue, and just as the train was flying into the station, this guy pretended like he was about to jump in front of the train. I was shocked and angry. The guy had some type of mental issue b/c he kept pacing up and down the platform with a weird smile on his face and making weird movements, btw he wasn't homeless either... And I was on the Q85 LTD about 20 minutes ago and around Springfield/140th, I see these two kids, a boy and a girl standing right in the middle of Springfield (not in the median, IN the street), the boy was holding the girl like he wanted them to get hit by the bus The B/O just waited for them to go back on the sidewalk (which only took a few seconds smh). Idk what that guy was thinking, but he shouldn't play a sick joke like that.... I don't understand why ppl act so dumb, they will not realize until something bad happens to them smh....

Agreed. I disagree w/ANY ideas to extend the Q49 or Q19, they are fine the way they are, well other than the Q19's horrible headways lol The Q94 idea is interesting, but it would possibly get held up in traffic along Astoria Blvd like the M60 does.. LTD would help it somewhat outside of AM rush, Bx-bound during AM rush it will ALWAYS hit some sort of traffic along Astoria Blvd, which could cause delays... I think it should run only between The Hub and LGA because there is no point of it going along 3rd Avenue as a LTD when there already is the Bx55. BUT if you eliminate the Bx55 then running it all the way to Fordham would make sense..

About females, I'd take Beyonce over Rihanna ANY DAY, Beyonce is beautiful, and Rihanna isn't ugly, she is just REALLY overrated, especially w/guys fighting over her... On another note, there is still fireworks going off in my neighborhood, it sounds like gunshots way too much (I'm used to the sound, there normally was a shooting at least every other week in the LES) and its keeping me awake... Idk how these ppl could do it especially since they most likely have work today smh....

M1 - I don't see harm in that, especially if you were to add LTD service on the M3 as there would be at least one 5th Ave route that is fully local.. M2- Idk how M2 LTDs are, so I can't comment on that, but considering that it is only LTD between 14th and 110th, it shouldn't be too bad but see my part about the M3 M3- If you are going to make the M2 LTD rush hours only.. Give M3 LTD service 7 days a week (as the M2 has now) just to supplement weekend LTD service along 5th/Madison... M5 - leave it how it is, LTD service ends at 8th St and the M4 can't supplement lost M5 LTD service as it ends at 34th St M7 - That would make the M7 fairly long wouldn't it? (not as long as the M5, but pretty long) and considering that the M7 doesn't have LTD service (at least the M5 does) that would make it a long trek for the B/Os on that route... Also may I mention, the M20 gets caught up in Holland Tunnel traffic sometimes, so that may cause delays, so I don't think that the extension would work, but I see what you are trying to do... M10 - Having the M10 service 9th Ave isn't such a good idea, its like the same thing as the M7 idea... The M11 now gets caught in Lincoln Tunnel traffic between 34th and 42nd, so that may make your M10 a delayed route.. Discontinuing the M20 is going to cause riders in Battery Park City to lose their one seat ride to Chelsea, areas like that on the Upper West Side, and I don't think that is such a good idea... But on the bright side, they would have buses that are more frequent then they are now. The M7s headways are 7-12 minutes during daytime hours (including weekends) and the M20's are 15-20 minutes.....

Can someone make one for me please? Q85 Rosedale 147 Av

I remember something like that.. They wanted to extend it to St Albans Hospital on Linden, which is a few blocks away from the terminus anyways... And even though his Q42 is limited, more ppl will pill on the 83 not only because of its directnes, but also the 83 is very frequent. During the rush, a Q83 will leave Jamaica every 3-5 minutes (although half the buses terminate at Springfield/Murdock), while the 42 leaves Jamaica every 12-15 minutes....
