Fresh Pond 5,362 #5 Posted September 21, 2009 Now this is something I wanted to do lol so imma go by borough... Brooklyn -B41: It cuts straight through Prospect Park sometimes going 45 mph, even on Flatbush Av -B61: It goes through many nice neighborhoods, including Williamsburg & Red Hook. Also one of the few real long routes that still doesn't have a limited -B103: a limited that feels like an express trip Manhattan -M16/34: the only 2 lines that have the buses announce the stop -M60: I think its the ONLY Manhattan route to actually leave Manhattan Queens -Q35: Beautiful & speedy run to Rockaway Park -Q44: The only non-Bronx line in the Bronx -Q53: Another trip that feels like an express trip (see also B103). Plus great photo opportunites along Beach Channel Dr -Q67: Pretty damn quiet trip. Plus it goes up "The Hill" -Q100: The "Prison Express" lol Bronx -Bx12 SBS: Do I have to explain Staten Island -S53/S79: A shortcut to Brooklyn without going into Manhattan first Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LRG 216 #6 Posted September 21, 2009 The only bus I find myself using these days are the S62, the S79 or the S93, and they run pretty darn good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bee Flexible #823 0 #7 Posted September 21, 2009 In Queens, almost every single local line has some segment that is good in some particular way...whether it is speed, transfers, bus models and whatnot. I'll name a few of my particular favorites. You'll be surprised that some of the common lines are not listed on here: Q11 Q16 Q17 Q18 Q19 Q24 Q25 Q26 Q31 Q32 Q33 Q35 Q46 Q58 Q59 Q60 Q64 Q65 Q66 Q67 Q75 Q76 Q88 Q102 Q104 Q110 QBX1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Q43 Floral Park 39 #8 Posted September 22, 2009 Bronx Bx3: after 9-10 pm the bus basically flys between Riverdale and the Heights Bx10: I hate to love this route. The hills and turns make it an interesting route but its a bit long winded and could use some LTD service/ better headways Bx16: Very scenic Bx18: Short but interesting (still have to ride to the end and figure out if its a loop route or not) Queens Q5,Q12,Q28,Q30,Q46,Q79 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
