B35 via Church Posted April 22, 2010 Share #126 Posted April 22, 2010 It is a factor, but it's not so much the narrowness as it is the congestion that plagues broadway (along the Q53 route), especially during the PM hrs... Not that I agree w/ the premise, but SBS Q53's can start over there by the xfer point (QB/Woodhaven)... Problem is, this would resemble nothin more than a LTD variant of the Q21, to some extent.... Iono, there wouldn't be much, if any trade-off b/w converting the Q53 to SBS, as opposed to just keeping it what it is... a Limited.... (of course, you'll get some that'll say that (the current Q53 we have) was tarnished, when all the additional stops along Woodhaven were added) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted April 24, 2010 Share #127 Posted April 24, 2010 Q17: Some weekend frequency reductions Q22: Extension to Breezy Point worthwhile? Q65: Sunday service should match Q25 frequency Q79: Peak service should be retained Q100: I think some frequency cuts can be obtained here. All late night trips should run local. QM1/A: Restructuring/trip reductions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted April 24, 2010 Share #128 Posted April 24, 2010 Q22: Extension to Breezy Point worthwhile?If you knew anything about breezy point & how its residents view "outsiders" (meaning, any NON breezy point resident), you wouldn't suggest this... case in point... don't know if you know this, but there's a mini-bus that picks up @ the Q22 terminal (Beach 169th), that's made specifically for transporting those residents to breezy pt..... Q65: Sunday service should match Q25 frequency what is it (sunday service on the 65) currently? Q100: I think some frequency cuts can be obtained here. All late night trips should run local. just run the late night trips on the 100, local... and reduce late night trips on the 69... far more ppl. utilize the 100 anyway... late nights, the 69 is dead... QM1/A: Restructuring/trip reductions yeh, I have to agree with this... those buses run way too often... replies in red... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted April 24, 2010 Share #129 Posted April 24, 2010 case in point... don't know if you know this, but there's a mini-bus that picks up @ the Q22 terminal (Beach 169th), that's made specifically for transporting those residents to breezy pt.....

Q65 Sunday: AM 30, Noon 20, PM 23, Eve 30 Q25 Sunday: AM 30, Noon+PM 15, Eve 20 Q25 really needs to be 10-15 minutes, Q65 15-20, and Q17 12-17.
