NY1635

I think it has something to do with Rosedale being near the County Line.

But it's the mayor's fault for redeveloping the Waterfront districts without providing improvements to transportation. Most of Brooklyn's transportation problems were present before those neighborhoods were redeveloped and didn't get any attention until after the luxury apartments were built and the yuppies moved in. I do believe that Williamsburg, Greepoint, and Long Island City should be redeveloped, but those luxury apartments shouldn't have been built in those neighborhoods.

I'm confused, what exactly DO you want in terms of transportation? I'm getting some mixed messages from reading your posts.

Utilizing the waterfront was a terrible idea. Both Long Island City and Greepoint were very industrial areas before Bloomberg redeveloped it. The only thing he did was tear down the factories and build a bunch of sterile luxury apartments in their place. The only places where I'm noticing redevelopment is right off Jackson Avenue, by the Court Square and Queens Plaza areas. I'm usually left wondering who would rent an apartment that's close to a factory, or right near the 7 train.

So, why does Suffolk has a distinct lack of transportation?

No. The Q5 and Q85 LTD don't go into Green Arces because they're serving the Rosedale Branch of the route.

No. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Long Islanders don't want city buses running on their streets.

F: Runs Express from Jamaica-179th Street to 21st Queensbridge on Weekdays. On Weeknights and Weekends, The F will run local between Jamaica-179th Street and 75th Avenue. M/R: Extended from 71st-Continental Avenue to Jamaica-179th Street during Weekdays. The R will terminate at 71st-Continental on Weeknights and Weekends.

I might be wrong, but the few stops on the n17 between Mercy Medical Center and Rockville Center might have something to do with N.Village Ave running parallel to Peninsula Blvd.

Are the R188 trains smaller than the R62?

Those Customer interfaces are going to look very out of place at the Hempstead Terminal.

Is there a reason why the N4 was moved from the front bays at Parsons and Archer to the back at Archer and 158th Street?

I saw it today on the F line at Jamaica-179 Street, and again at Jackson Heights Roosevelt Avenue.

Or maybe the people living in middle class areas don't take the bus because they have cars and drive them to/from work.

Nobody's exaggerating. The n6 is usually crowded between 7:30 and 11:30 p.m because it's the only bus route that runs at the time. Both n6 Express and n1 rush hour service ends right before they're really needed, and as a result, you have twenty people waiting at the corner of Hillside and 168th Street for the one n6 Local. The buses are usually SRO from the 169th Street Subway to Locust wood Blvd. About half of the people on the SRO n6 usually get off at Elmont (Between Locustwood and Meacham) and the other half takes the n6 all the way to the terminal.

When is NICE going to invent a new route, and not revive a dead one?

Is there a demand for the Q103 to terminate at Court Square?

Just like Queens Blvd, a lot of people don't want a bus lane on Linden Blvd.

Where in Queens Plaza would the Q60 terminate?

SBS won't work on a Street like Utica Avenue.

Your Q52 is very redunant. If the map is to be believed, your Q52 will run right underneath the A train from Beach 60th Street to Mott Avenue via the Rockaway Freeway, and runs parallel to the Q22, which serves both Beach Channel Drive and Seagirt Blvd. There's technically nothing on Rockaway Freeway the would attract new riders,

What about Five Towns?

Aside from the obvious (It's been stated multiple times that there's no demand for bus service Eastern Parkway and it's too long). It does diverge too far from it's current route. Under your proposal, those who currently take the B12 at Clarkson, Albany, and East New York would be left stranded, or forced to walk to the nearest bus. Your B12 along Eastern Parkway won't attract any riders because it'll most likely run nonstop from Ralph to Washington Avenues.

People living in Rosedale don't take the LIRR. Depending on what part of the town they live in most people take the Q85 at 243rd Street or the Stop at Francis Lewis and Sunrise Highway, the Q111 at 147th Avenue, or the Q5 at Hook Creek Blvd to Jamaica and take the E because it's cheaper. Why do you want to send the Q5 to 149th Avenue? That part of Rosedale is mostly residential houses.

I propose an extension of the J/Z lines from it's current terminal in Jamaica Parsons/Archer to Queens Village. It will make stops at these locations: Merrick Blvd-168 Street, 179th Street, Woodhull-Hollis Avenues, Francis Lewis Blvd, Hempstead Avenue, and Springfield Blvd.
