Best is this:
Inwood-207th St to Far Rockaway
Paterson-Market St to Euclid Ave via George Washington Bridge.
Jamaica Center - Parson/Archer to Lefferts Blvd.
World Trade Center to Rockaway Park via Queensway Rockaway Branch
Hanover Sq to Whitestone-14th Avenue
Far Rockaway to Rockaway Park.

That’s because there are no subways around there.
Exactly, That's what i wanted to say. This is the reason why Eastern Queens needs Subways.
Buses in Manhattan, Bronx and Brooklyn (Except Flatbush) are less overcrowded compare to Buses at Desert Areas like Eastern Queens, Flatbush, Co-Op and etc.

This is not overkill. An from Astoria to Euclid only Requires a new tunnel between Whitehall and Court Street (NYTM). Doing this will increase capacity on the Fulton Street line by 50% and allow trains to run Express to Lefferts Blvd or the Rockaway's.
While it’d be nice to have subways in outer Queens, I wouldn’t extend everything cause it’s overkill and some of these proposals are not feasible. Psersonally, I prefer these ideas:
To Francis Lewis via Northern or a Branch to College Point. A new bus terminal will be built somewhere close to Francis Lewis (Which I’ll go more in depth later).
to Springfield (Express between Forest Hills and 179. In order for this to work, either trains would need to be extended to 179, the Queens Bypass would need to be built, or Queens Blvd needs to be (mostly) De-Interlined. Maybe this can work with the arrangement with one of the locals going to 179. And just like the extension. A bus terminal would need to be built around Hillside and SpringField/Braddock since the current set up for the Street won’t allow for it. Doing this would allow for a variety of Route Changes to Buses along Hillside and Adjacent Streets.
LaGuardia Link Train (Or when Broadway is De-Interlined. Nuff said.
to Laurelton because there is Space for a New Yard along the LIRR Atlantic/Rockaway Branch. Or to Cambria Heights via Merrick Blvd and Linden Blvd. I prefer the First Option TBH.
One Stop Extension to Merrick/168. If possible, you could extend THAT to Cambria Heights instead of the . It could Stop Short of Merrick, then Turn Down 168, then Head via Merrick and Linden Blvd’s.
With only Extending the Current Subways in Queens, you can achieve the following benefits:
• Making a Better Bus Network for Queens
• Promote Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)
• Better Subway Access throughout Queens.
That would be a Good Idea, also i like riding the Bus but the problem is that Buses in Eastern Queens are overcrowded.

I could see extended to Springfield Blvd or further it would reduce bus riders. Most riders especially during rush hours going to and from work or school from Eastern Queens take buses to Subways and some do not use LIRR. If those subway lines were extended further East it would reduce the need for buses.
It would make Buses less overcrowded than it is now.

that’s not a bad idea and that’s still within the current subway limits , you be tryna have trains go from the middle of Long Island to Washington Heights
Middle of Long Island is Mineola, Nassau and Suffolk.
I'm saying Extending Trains from 168th Street to Cambria Heights is not a bad Idea nor does extending trains from Bay Ridge and Coney Island to Floral Park is a bad idea either, it improves travel options for residents from transit deserts in Queens like Queens Village, Pomonok, Fresh Meadows, Floral Park, Bayside and Cambria Heights, open up new economic opportunities, reduce traffic congestion, providing more space for repurposing of roadways for pedestrians, bikers, and goods transporters. Large parts of Queens are not on the subway system, although many of these neighborhoods have Long Island Rail Road stations. Ridership is very low at these stops because service is infrequent and expensive. These improvements would substantially improve access to major open spaces, such as Alley Pond Park, Cunningham Park and Floyd Bennett Field.

wether you are against or not, More than a third of all New Yorkers don’t live within walking distance of a subway or train station especially those in Low-Income and Middle Income Neighborhoods.

That's probably a small group of fanners. I doubt the average people of Glen Oaks and Floral Park want a subway and would be fine with a 10-20 min bus ride to the subway.
ok, u know more better and i'm new to this forum.

It's overkill. The and already have reliability issues and the last thing we need is for them to be longer... you also have to consider that residents out there don't want a subway and that we really only need extensions in areas to decongest bus lines like the to FLB, to Springfield (with it maybe running express after 71st to counter the effect of a longer route), and to LGA and then Flushing to siphon some riders.
I Have Friends from these Neighborhoods they said "it would be great to use Subways than Slow Ass Buses"

I don’t know about you, but I think a Montague-Hoyt tunnel would be much better in terms of cost-benefit than a slow ass to the county line or a unnecessarily long to Floral Park...
so you are against extending or to Floral Park?

I didn’t say you said that , I was just asking how , as in how would they do it
by building a Subway Line through George Washington Bridge which it would be very difficult.

It is "What if", I'm not saying it should built. if it should built then we should make George Washington Bridge like Manhattan Bridge.

What if the is built and extended to Pataerson, NJ?

No duh. Times have changed. Ticket-splitting is gone, NY has gone to the left, the Republicans have an ever weaker bench then Democrats, and in the age of Trump Democratic voters are agitated.
States like MA, NH, VT and MD are all Heavily Democratic and Solid Left States and they voted for a Republican Politician, they all are Anti-Trump. even Molinaro and Gibson are Anti-Trump Republicans.
Also Most New Yorks don't want Cuomo to run for a Fourth Term, so he would either lose in Primary or General Election?

Are you kidding me. NY is a heavily heavily Democratic state. Gibson, Stefanik, Molinaro, are you kidding me. The only way to defeat Cuomo is in the primary.
Last Time NY was a republican was George Pataki.

He is going to run in 2022 and will win handily. A Republican would have no chance of defeating him. Name a credible Democrat that could run against him. I can't. We'll have to wait until January 2027 for him to leave office.
Why wouldn't they? His Approval Rating is Declining very fast. Chris Gibson, Elise Stefanik and Mark Molinaro seems to be best Candidates to defeat Cuomo.

The Problem is that we are in a Debt with 22$ Trillion Dollars, which makes Infrastructure Projects Extremely Expensive.

Cuomo is the Worst Governor ever, I Hope he loses in 2022 election to either Chris Gibson or Mark Molinaro, Molinaro should have won election 8 months ago. This is all Rigged.

NYC is failing very badly since DeBla**hole took office, it is very possible we are returning back how it was during 70's and 80's. NYC has now Less Affordability, More Crumbling Roads, More Dog Shits and Dog Piss on the Sidewalk, Banning Smoking indoors, Increase Tax Hikes on Cigarettes, Very Stench smell from the Sewers at Guggenheim, Train Derailment in 2017, Crumbling Subway System and etc. This shows DeBlasio is Screwing this CIty up. I Don't like Trump at all but i could pnly agree with Trump and the Conservative Republicans on DeBlasio for being the Worst Mayor in the City he's much worse than David DInkins, Abraham Beame and John Lindsay. DeBla**hole is a Liberal Democratic Version of Donald Trump.
This City has become a Shithole thanks to Bill De Blasio. like what @MHV9218 said Bill de Blasio's aka Warren Wilhelm's legacy is the death of bikers and the rise of circling, polluting Ubers, Lyfts and other Car Culture in NYC plus the decline and collapse of transit use.

It is all DeBlasio's and Cuomo's Fault for not handling NYC Subway System very well and this is reason why more and more New Yorkers prefering Cars over Mass Transit due to MTA's Failure, also DeBla**hole and Cuomo's Failures as well of not handling MTA and the NYCT Very Well. NYC is failing very badly.

Bill De Blasio Vision Zero Policy is a Disaster! Of Course Most New Yorkers prefers Cars over Mass Transit.
I Love Cars.
