Q90

Even then that would make it redundant to the Q41.

So true. It's also why the MTA is discontinuing B15 detours down there. I was given 25 points. Meh I kinda needed it anyways to freshen up.

Want to know why? Because it turns out few people use it to the Postal Facility. LOL that place is actually dead. I used to think a good amount of people use it to there but I found out actually only few do. Rerouting it to Rockaway Boulevard actually would provide more transfer options such as the train, Q11/21, Q41, Q52/53 LTD, and Q112.

New 9 train that runs from LaGuardia Airport to Kings Plaza via 7 Avenue local. https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=214089513480814599261.0004e3b63a3c42aaa244e

Anyways I have made changes to a proposal I posted here a month ago. It was the Q103 extension to Williamsburg via B32 merger. The changes I made was that I also decided to extend it on it's northern end to the Ditmars Boulevard station so it could cover more of Astoria to carry demand to Williamsburg. https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=214089513480814599261.0004e3b5605b672dd5c53

It's because of the workers that use it. They are the reason the Q67 is operating plus for coverage reasons as well.

I agree. The orange ones are much more clear to read and I've seen the glitches too on green LED signs, especially on the RTS buses. LOL! Whenever I see a Q67, it only has one, maybe two or three passengers at the most on it. It's pretty much only still operating because of the industry workers that use it to 55 Avenue between 48 and 58 Streets. Otherwise people usually hop on the Q39.

DOT proposed it so shut the f**k up Fresh Pond! I don't need your bullshit.

Exactly.....

1. Yes it also did not connect to a subway station and the routing was indirect to South Ozone Park which was why people chose the Q9 over it. 2. Well The LTDs make local stops east of Bedell Street/Baisley Boulevard. I was saying have those buses go to Green Acres and the locals go to Rosedale via 243 Street.

Wait what? I know it was DOT's proposal. I was commenting about DOT, NOT YOU. And the limited is only between Jamaica and Baisley Boulevard/Bedell Street. Under my proposal all buses that run limited on that section go to Green Acres. The locals that make all stops go to Rosedale. This is so people don't accidentally catch the wrong bus.

Yes it was useless because of the horrible scheduling. It started when AM rush hour ends and ends during the middle of PM rush hour. The Q89 also had only about 22,000 riders each year which is like the worst ridership of any route. And a route with less than a million people using it yearly I usually consider bad. If a route was doing that bad, of course it would be cut and I'm surprised MTA did not at least try to improve the Q89 before cutting it.

Okay why would they need to kill off the Q85 Green Acres branch? And I have always opposed extending the Q7 to Green Acres. It's just makes the route unnecessarily long and I doubt there's demand. Also the cross Linden route would fail as there's no demand for Ozone Park-Cambria Heights. And the only thing I'd do with the Q85 is make the Green Acres branch the limited and the Rosedale the local.

You must have really hated that route ! Yeah but my Q89 doesn't have the same mistakes as the former. It has better frequency and it connects to subway stations. The former failed because of those two factors. But yeah the former Q89's schedule was horrific. Weekdays only with only 7 buses a day between 10:30am and 5:30pm with hourly headways, no wonder nobody used it and you can't blame them. Also because it didn't connect to a subway station it lacked feeder riders. I would run my revived Q89 at 10 minutes weekdays and 15 minutes on weekends. Oh and speaking of the Q67, I've decided to change the extension to Forest Hills. Instead of bypassing Fresh Pond Road, It would turn off 69 Street at Eliot Avenue, then make a left on Fresh Pond Road, then continue on Metropolitan Avenue to Forest Hills. How's that?

1. I guess I'm neutral about that. It sounds like a good idea but at the same time it isn't 2. I'm not sure about that but all I know is that it's a bad idea and no one would use it smh. Again, it's better to just restore the former Q89 but extend it to New Lots and have better frequency.

I tend to contradict myself occasionally. Anyways about that Linden Boulevard route, that's one of the stupidest ideas ever. I assume this would be taking the Q4 off Merrick if I'm right. Well for one reason it bypasses Jamaica which is where people want to go and who would use an Ozone Park-Cambria Heights bus route? It's better off to just restore the Q89 however with better headways, extension to New Lots Avenue station, and serving the Rockaway Boulevard station (I already made a proposal about that).

I'm not trying to be a coward and I don't think that just because DOT proposes things doesn't mean they are good. Again it's ricidulous to send local buses from LIC to Little Neck. It would only work as an SBS if anything. But before that should even be considered, there are other improvements that should be made to both routes. Also a Q56/110 combination is a retarded idea. It just makes that route unreliable and it's pointless. It's a stupid thing to do to swap the Q36 and Q110 terminals. That just makes it redundant to the Q2 since both start at 165 Street.

I agree with taking the Q34 off of Kissena/Parsons Boulevard. Let the Q25 handle that. But I wouldn't agree with completely eliminating it. Like I said before, just make it a Flushing-Bay Terrace route via Willets Point Boulevard. The Q34 has no business supplementing the Q25 with shitty 20 minute headways. I would just boost the Q25 instead, especially LTD service. And the Q23 to LGA I agree with that too and the Q48 could get kicked out since no one uses it there. I would just send it to 82 Street/Astoria Boulevard where the Q69 ends.

Whatever, he can burn for all I care.

M7s are awesome. I f**king hate the diesels used on the LIRR an MNRR.

You mean the Q56. Q36 and Q110 can't be merged. Because that guy is a friggin troll! He deserves to be bashed! But I'm sure people would like Little Neck/LIC-Flushing SBS service though.

No one would use the B20 to Metropolitan Avenue. It's better to truncate it to Myrtle Avenue. Oh so it's for coverage. That explains a lot as to why it just randomly turns off Sutter at Powell/Junius Streets and uses Pitkin Avenue. But I'd still send it to Rockaway Boulevard as no one uses it to the Postal Facility.

Well that's why I'd put artics and SBS on the Q66. The Q12 gets crowded too yes I know. The disadvantages could be nullified with SBS and articulated buses.

I've decided to truncate the B20 at Myrtle Avenue/Decatur Street. It would just turn at Myrtle Avenue then Summerfield Street. No one uses the B20 to Forest which is why I want to eliminate service there.

Yeah obviously few use it end to end (well most people don't use routes end to end anyways) but to Flushing yes. However one advantage is that people who want to go anywhere past Flushing could use it without transferring but again I would only be really for it if SBS was added first at least and artics.
