I mean taking the express bus and subway is usually a matter of time and expedience for me. I usually prefer to take the subway in and the express bus home. I know alot of people down Myrtle closer to Ridgewood aren't as well off as people in Middle Village and Glendale by me so it makes sense. Also, for me to get to the 24 I have to take the Q55 or walk about 10-15 minutes, so I settle for the 15 or even the BM5 if I want to take the express bus.
