i would agree to an extent. i would leave the Q109 to run on Lakewood Avenue only. But the proposed Q40, it would be the following. Southbound to 135 Ave: From Sutphin Blvd, i would make the Q40 turn right on 111 Ave instead of Lakewood Ave then turn left on 142 St, and regular route. Northbound to Hillside Ave: From Rockaway Blvd, I would make the Q40 turn right on 142nd Pl, then make right at 119th Rd, then left at 143rd St then make right at 111 Ave, then left at Sutphin Blvd and regular route. i would use 111 Avenue because the roads are much wider than Lakewood Ave. and also making a tight left turn from Lakewood onto Remington/143 (by the triangle) is going to be extremely difficult hence the opposing traffic from 109 Av have to curve right to make a left or right turn to (Lakewood Ave [right turn] or 109 Ave[left turn])

i fixed the maps. And the Q68 proposal is a little unnecessary since i saw the van wyck expy recently hence the Q10A discontinuation

i fixed it and welcome to the USO penitentiary

i fixed it

I would take a loss on this one (because i was unaware it has a lock on it). But i have fixed the maps that has a lock on it. Now everyone can see all of the proposals that i had made.The reason why I make most of the bus routes parallel to each other for two reasons, one for FASTTRACK (trying to reduce shuttle bus usage). Two, the complaint of the MTA boards talking about workers abusing overtime (which is a full of crock); that's why the union president was putting them in their place. Also, by saying they dont have any money thus raising fares and crap. My proposal was a better update than I did last year because I have to go on different bus routes to see which area needs bus service and which don't need any. Also, i hate buses that bunches either because if the drivers are being lazy or some of the streets are too narrow to pass due to double parking and other factors. The buses I have no opinion on, I need help about it because with the whole queens bus redesign is that going to benefit us or screw us like what they did with the SIM project. As time goes by, my proposals may shrink due to every day bus observation as well as better ideas (which I hope its better than mine) as well as the MTA's propaganda.

(Picks up a mic) There is a difference between constructive criticism and being disrespectful; your messages are in more of disrespectful category than the constructive criticism aspect. Also, your messages verified something about you, that you really are that you're "claiming" that I am. And I bet my dollar, you would try to block me or get me banned or whatever. I'm not an internet thug as you perceived me to be; hence your second to last message. As much I would ether you just like 50 cent did to Ja Rule, I wouldn't do that because we all should be brothers; also we should help each other make ideas. Also, I learn to take everyone seriously and don't take anyone lightly because we never know what each party is capable of (since you use PinePowerLI and I completely agree with you that he's unstable and go through extreme length to make someone life a living hell). You have to get ready for someone worse than him and trust me, there is a new millennium of people who have this "hotshot" persona which you claimed that I have. And the only difference between me and them, is that we (me and you) on the internet debating but at the end of day, we go on our real life and focus on other aspects of things. Unlike this current generation (tight pants and emotionally ready f-boys), they would video tape everything whether if its a fight or go on and act a fool. or even worse calling someone out and actually doing some stalker or "unsolved mystery" crap. And yes, I'm a walking contradiction and I'm proud of being a walking contradiction. I don't believe in logic and November 9, 2016 proved that there is no such thing as logic. I rather loved to be proven wrong and learn from my mistakes. In contrast of your approach, you're playing with fire and I was like you. I was the person who is like Enzo Amore (Wrestling reference) and look what happened to him; got major heat with other wrestlers, getting kicked off the company bus and got demoted. Or I can go back to your time, Morton Downey Jr.; biggest loudmouth of all time. He makes Simon Cowell look like Tinkerbell. What happen to me, you asked? I got shut down by facts and that was my very first lesson of humility. But as the old saying goes you can't teach a old dog new tricks. If you think that I'm a novice, a peon, a nobody; prove it to me. Prove that I'm a carbon copy of hotshots here. Accept my challenge of the debate and we can get an UNBIASED moderator who can regulate the debate. Where I come from, if someone challenge me to a debate on something that I'm good at; I would accept it and ether my challengers. Also, I can keep in mind that I can be wrong. I see you in the category of Lavar Ball. I'll be like Mike Rapaport and ether you. (throws the mic between your legs) IT'S TRUE! IT'S DAMN TRUE!!!

I understand that my very first post is incoherent and I agree with you on that. If you have understand the content of the video, it's more like "what the hell" than more of a slander video. I challenged you on a video chat debate about each of my proposed route and you have yet to answer. I'm eager to learn but you have to stop with "the puffing up on the chest" and have humility and modify your approach to future newcomers. And if you have read my first post or my video, I have used a disclaimer which states, " I am a newcomer, please don't bust my chops. It's my very first forum, just take it easy." Since you have disregard my forum disclaimer, either you or your entourage put a meme about a guy that trip over some stairs and fell in the hole which all of you referring to me. On a personal note, I have felt legitimately offended. We can disagree or agree on certain topics but when it comes to the meme and you getting into your feelings through your messages. I felt like that you want a legit beef with me and I'm not looking for that. And I'm always eager to learn but your approach needs to change. When I use the term "with all due respect", I have respect for people who are elders and people who have experience on certain things and I'm not expecting you to respect me. That's how I am raised because we live in an era that people don't care about respect anymore and my generation is partly responsible for it (90-93 babies). But at the end of the day, let's love each other instead of taking things to a level that is really not necessary for both parties. (Drops the mic)

Let me tell you something, I don't agree with PinePowerLI in terms with the hispanics and all the other races which he mentioned. That's why I fast forward his video when he talk about hispanics, blacks and other minorites and look for the bus aspect of his videos. That's an another story for another time. To remind you, I am not for #45 like he was. And I'm have proven that I'm not spambot, since you have watch my video. I specifically said if anyone has a problem, we would have a video chat and have a debate just like the mayoral debate about each proposal and how we can make each proposal better because I agree with the bus aspect of his argument but the other stuff he has done here to you guys, I don't what's going on between him and the other members here; I don't get involved in other people's problem. All I care about my problem, and maybe your right. I don't know too much about buses and other things. That is why I have joined this forum, so I can increase my knowledge by having an open mind and retain information from other people and learn from it. And the way you wrote this long message, you don't want anyone to learn about the bus/rail fanning community. In fact, you are actually hindering future bus/rail fanners. So instead of bashing me, just say my proposal is adequate but let me explain how the bus system really works and i would have make my proposals better or eliminate some of my proposals. And I never am a hotshot, I'm very humble. If I was a hot shot, i would write a response more on emotion just like the message above but I'm really not. And I don't believe in lecturing people, I'm more like suggesting or giving an advice. Take it from me personally, the best lesson learned is personal experience. Don't be like #45, let us be like Obama (i'm a proud democrat). And let's have a future debates that doesn't lead into violence or any emotional conflict. I want you to watch "Enter the Dragon" there is a scene of how Bruce Lee taught the boy how to fight or think of "the Karate Kid" (it can be a remake too) of how the Kid has a mentor that teaches him every aspect of the martial arts by doing weird and unusual tactics. In other words, some people want to be your apprentice or other members apprentice. Don't turn down the newcomer whether if its me or anyone else. Take advantage of spreading your knowledge of someone who is eager to learn from you.

I never knew about suffolk county. I just found out that there is a county executive election in Nassau and which one of the person who is running for county executive trying to void the contract with transdev (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-fS7dovz1Y&t=251s) and hopefully might bring back the MTA (highly doubt it). I agree with you about the shift of Nassau but that why I see a lot of people moving to Queens mostly Jamaica. To the point they call Jamaica Ave Downtown Jamaica. I felt like gentrification is in full effect. But thank you for giving me your insight.

I guess you saw my Youtube video. Which means you felt offended that I have categorized some people on here that was blocking future people who want to be interested in a part of this or any future forum-based website. When I use certain Youtubers who ACTUALLY lived in their counties can verify their problems about their bus service. You assume that I'm destroying my own argument (which I am not). It's called being open minded. Unless you want me be like #45 and have a close-minded attitude (which you are having right now), most times we have to help each other to make certain proposals better or justify why each proposal is better. That is why I gave the person before the assignment of why each proposed bus route is long and I can counter the argument or agree with certain things. Just like another person who went down route by route of why each one is good or why each one is bad. When I use these YouTubers PinePowerLI or Andrew Lee, you never know that they could be part of this forum-based website. Also, they have references too; whether if its first-person account (their own experience) or third-person account (from newsday, or other website). If I was making proposal about Brooklyn (according to your profile), we would have a heated debate because it's your borough and you know more about Brooklyn than me. So, with all due respect don't be like the people that I refer to about hindering the growth of the bus/rail fanning community. Instead, be the one who actually encourages the growth of the bus/rail fanning community.

I have an assignment for you and it's a very simple one. Look at the link of each of the proposed routes and explain how each route is long and far in distance, and I would attempt to counter your statement or agree with it. Also, look at the population in the neighboring areas that each proposed route travel now versus 5 years ago. Finally, go to YouTube and look up PinePowerLI as well as Andrew Lee; watch their videos about NICE Bus and how people living in Nassau is either moving back to the boroughs for more convenient bus services or move to Suffolk County

I have made a mistake for the Q52sbs (which the Q52 bus exists on woodhaven blvd) Myrtle Ave route the new route is the Q92sbs 1. (Q92 SBS Jamaica LIRR STA or Downtown brooklyn Jay street via myrtle av),Link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1D6C3CgMgdjyVnmeIjkDV4ecRvpw Explanation: limited service for the B54 and the Q55 buses,

not really. watch my video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNuoJD_WVXw. even though its a lengthy video. it explains a reason why these buses are need and how each section of queens are changing. And if we add these buses, we have to change the run time of the current buses to accommodate these proposal buses. That's why we put these proposal buses in testing first, then we scrap them or modify them.

For 4/5 that why i made a zoom up for the Q68 local and the SBS version for Van Wyck Exy. Some people think that the SBS version is like the Q10A but the only difference between the 10a and the 68sbs is bidirectional and it would use the service road until Rockaway blvd then it would merge in the expwy. Unlike the 10A merge in the expwy after it turns from Queens Blvd and its one direction and its for rush hours only. I have understand your point of the van wyck being slow but when it gets to Jamaica ave. the 68 local and sbs that is going to kew gardens will make a right turn from van wyck to jamaica avenue and then Queens blvd to kew gardens. Because rush the van wyck is messed up between jamaica av and liberty ave, especially northbound to whitestone bridge regardless if it's on the service road or the expwy itself. In other words the 68 local will loop around from 133rd ave and go to kew gardens. in contrast to then 68sbs will go to jfk airport For 8 a lot of people that lives in Laurelton and rosedale wants easier access to hollis, and other places that is on F. Lewis Blvd. without looping to Jamaica Center or Jamaica terminal for the 76 or 77. and it would be the only bus that would be a direct connection to the 111 without using the 85 to rosedale or using the 77 to 145rd and walk down to 147 ave on the new springfield blvd. instead of the woody springfield lane which became springfield blvd after 222 or 220th street (i'm not too sure)
