It won't, you're right, but Q31 should have been rerouted a long time ago, it's current routing is super wonky, it should stay on Utopia Parkway, and this way it can replace Q16 Utopia Parkway service, which has low ridership, and go to College Point or maybe even Fort Totten which would make it the first Fort Totten - Jamaica route, I feel like it would garner more riders, and the frequencies would get better also.

Yes I have a lot and I could care less about those residents.

In that case the Q31 would just stay on Utopia, no point in going on Crocheron, then on Francis Lewis, and then back on Utopia.

My take on this is that the should operate from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM with 30 minute headways towards Midtown, Manhattan and from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM with 30 minute headways towards Little Neck, Queens. should also operate via the LIE and the Van-Wyck in both directions. Westbound trip times: 6:00, 6:30, 7:00, 7:30, 8:00, 8:30, 9:00 Eastbound trip times: 5:00, 5:30, 6:00, 6:30, 7:00, 7:30, 8:00 I also believe that there should be special service between Midtown Manhattan and Citi Field during Mets games and the US Open. These trips times would vary based off the start and end times of Mets games and the US Open.

I think the Q12/Q13 routings west of should be left alone and I agree that the Q31 should directly serve the Auburndale LIRR Station, but the problem is that 192nd Street and Station Road are very tight for bus traffic, both roads would have to be widen, the height clearance for the underpass along 192nd Street is high enough for buses to pass through at 12'10". I also think that the Q31 should stop at Utopia Parkway/45th Avenue, and for the Q12/Q13, it should stop at Northern Boulevard/193rd Street instead of Northern Boulevard/194th Street. These are my proposals for the neighborhoods of Auburndale and Bayside: I forgot to add a bus stop for Utopia Parkway/45th Avenue and Corporal Kennedy Street/34th Avenue.

Well that is some great news, I really love the Gilligs, I'm happy more of them of are coming to Nassau to replace all of those dreadful Next Gens.

As someone that lives nearby the QM3, I agree that there should be extra service on the QM3, it's appalling that the last trip leaves Little Neck at 7:30 AM, which for the stop near me is at 7:50 AM, and In my opinion, the QM3 and every Queens express bus route should travel on the Long Island Expressway in both directions, this way, more people would ride the QM3 from Manhattan.

Well that's interesting.

The rare few good things about the Queens bus redesign plan.

The only time I rode a Prevost was on the SIM4C from Staten Island Mall to 34th Street in Manhattan.

What are your guys thoughts on the QM3? Should it be eliminated? Should it get additional trips to/from Manhattan?

The reason why the Q34 should be extended to Francis Lewis Boulevard is because there is no local service on Willets Point Boulevard for a good mile, and for the Q26, I made a route map proposal so that it would still serve the Flushing-Main Street subway and LIRR stations.

That is true.

You may be right but from 2010 to 2013, people in Little Neck were complaining that the Q79 got eliminated so the MTA extended some Q36 trips in 2013, but have you ever seen more than 8 people on a Q36 bus along Little Neck Parkway? Cause most of the time there isn't.

The Q12 LTD would make stops at major intersections and transfer points, between Lippman Plaza/Union Street and Bell Boulevard, so it would have good ridership, the stops it would make would be: Roosevelt Avenue & Lippman Plaza (WB) / Union Street (EB) Sanford Avenue & Bowne Street (WB) / Sanford Avenue & Parsons Boulevard (EB) Sanford Avenue & 150th Street (Connection for the Murray Hill LIRR Station) Sanford Avenue & 162nd Street (Connection for the Broadway LIRR Station) Northern Boulevard & Utopia Parkway Northern & Francis Lewis Boulevards Northern Boulevard & Oceania Street Northern & Bell Boulevards And then all Local stops east of Bell Boulevard "Face it, just come out and say that you live in Douglaston or Little Neck and you want a faster commute at the expense of 60% of the ridership base of the Q12. In your scenario, the locals would be standing room only and the Limiteds would be carrying air." I live in Auburndale, so close but no cigar for you!
