Q43LTD Posted December 21, 2009 Share #101 Posted December 21, 2009 omg that q38 split yay.....i was thinking the same thing not the same number but it"ll work....i think the Q51 should run down eliot ave into metro ave all the way 2 the new development on kent ave.....and the new B5 i totally agree with.....but with 1 hitch extend it 2 williamsburg bp....since all that new development along kent ave needs transpotation options You can't send too many buses to Willy B.

Q43LTD Posted December 26, 2009 Share #107 Posted December 26, 2009 One minor thing: The Flushing-Greenpoint route will be called the Q52 instead of the B5 since most of the route is in Queens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric B Posted January 12, 2010 Share #112 Posted January 12, 2010 A faster alternative to the 58 needs to be created along Eliot Ave; by cutting the 38 in half, and running the Eliot half into ridgewood somewhere. Perhaps even as an extension of the Q88. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B35 via Church Posted January 16, 2010 Share #115 Posted January 16, 2010 Something tells me this Q58 LTD won't work same here... the Q58 crawls along Grand... it stalls along the 2 or 3 blocks that it's on broadway at times... and as for Corona av, it's not even about all the turns... riders use the route at different stops on Corona; not just at xfer stops....

nel070 Posted January 17, 2010 Share #117 Posted January 17, 2010 Then the q58 crawls on fresh pond road after metropolitan going toward myrtle. The only drawback i see to making it a ltd is the 58 has many turns and not a straight route and all the turns slow down the route therfore defeating the purpose of ltd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about walking the few blocks along broadway dude... it's about the people that are already on the bus, that gotta sit in traffic along broadway for 5 minutes (sometimes it's worse than that), especially on northbound Q58's during peak times... I mean, where would any time be saved along the route if there were a LTD on the 58? You tell me.. why be so "exacting" (whatever that's supposed to mean) with what? and yes there's traffic throughout the city & yes there's still LTD's on some routes (some that don't deserve them, but that's another topic).... but as dude above said, the Q58 isn't a "straight" route... like most the other routes that have LTD service, are...

The only drawback i see to making it a ltd is the 58 has many turns and not a straight route and all the turns slow down the route therfore defeating the purpose of ltd In the ideas I had been suggesting in addition to using Eliot would also avoid Fresh Pond as well. It would stay on Eliot until it merges with Metropolitan, and then probably use Forest Av. It is totally ridiculous how long it takes to get to Queens Blvd on the 58 (both just getting past Fresh Pond, and then Grand). And to go all the way to Flushing feels like going to another state. So there really should be this faster shortcut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted April 20, 2010 Share #124 Posted April 20, 2010 Why not convert the Q53 into SBS? After all, it almost is like SBS, just with a lane and designated bus shelters and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmatechamp13 Posted April 21, 2010 Share #125 Posted April 21, 2010 Some of the streets that the S53 runs on are extremely narrow. On Broadway, there are some places where the street isn't wide enough for parking, so it couldn't have a dedicated lane. The only real advantage of SBS is that it allows you to speed the trip up by paying before you board. The only problem is that SBS routes have a tendency to have a lot of farebeaters. As for Queens, I think that the Q79 could be ''saved'' by extending some of the Q46s from 260th Street/Little Neck Parkway to the Little Neck LIRR station. This would allow riders to have access to Union Turnpike (I think Queens Boro Hall is near there), and have more transfer options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
