A bit late to the party, but, I personally like the Queens express bus plan. This is due to the fact that it uses the LIE in both directions and avoiding having to use Queens or Northern Boulevards. However, I don't like some routes like the and not getting non-peak and weekend service. I think it would be longer for residents with nos in the area of Electchester since they would have to take the extended to the Subways at Forest Hills. As for the people living in the Whitestone area, are going to have to walk ALL the way to the bus. Tougher for older people living there. Overall, some tweaks have to happen, but otherwise a great plan.
