gtNovaBusRTS9369 Posted November 11, 2010 Share #1 Posted November 11, 2010 In my life I rode two different buses to my 2 homes. First I rode the Q9 (As a Green Lines Route) up to Van Wyck Expressway. After I moved I started riding the Q83 (Current route). However I notice these two routes have similar paths. For Example Q9 turn to Van Wyck Expressway-Q83 turn to Murdock Avenue. Q9 turn to Liberty Avenue-Q83 turn to Farmers Boulevard. Q9 turn to 135 Street from Lincoln Street-Q83 turn from Springfield Boulevard to Murdock Avenue. And then some.... Know other routes that do this type of thing can say so too.

Fresh Pond Posted November 11, 2010 Share #3 Posted November 11, 2010 There's a lot of routes that share a considerable amount of road time. One of the less obvious ones is the B25 & B26. From Cadman Plz to Fulton St & Classon Av, you can take either one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoSpectacular Posted November 11, 2010 Share #4 Posted November 11, 2010 Long Island Bus shares this phenomenon quite often, like the N20/N21 where free transfers don't count if you feel like cheating the system for a $2.25 ride, the N48/N49 are also similar but the N48 runs along a street parallel to Hempstead Turnpike instead for the majority of its course where it merges once again just before Hempstead Terminal and just before the Hicksville LIRR station, the two lines run along Newbridge Road for a while before spllitting.

checkmatechamp13 Posted November 12, 2010 Share #14 Posted November 12, 2010 Are you referring to roads where 2 or more routes run together? Routes that operate together for a significant distance Bronx: Bx1/Bx2 along Grand Concourse Bx7/Bx20 along Broadway (and Bx10/Bx20 along Johnson Avenue/Henry Hudson Parkway) Bx40/Bx42 along Tremont Avenue Bx15/Bx55 along Third Avenue (and the Bx41/Bx55 along Webster Avenue north of Fordham Road) Bx28/Bx38 along Gun Hill Road Bx12/Bx22 along Forham Road between Third Avenue and Bronx Park East Queens: Q20A/Q20B/Q44 along Main Street Q19/M60 along Astoria Blvd Q69/Q100 along 21st Street Q25/Q34 along Kissena Blvd (along with the Q17 north of the Horace Harding Expressway) Q1/Q36/Q43 along Hillside Avenue (along with the Q76/Q77 west of Francis Lewis Blvd) Q4/Q5/Q84/Q85 along Merrick Blvd Q111/Q113 along Guy R.

B35 via Church Posted November 12, 2010 Share #15 Posted November 12, 2010 There's a reason I didn't reply to this, w/i minutes of the OP making this thread.... I had to read the guy's post like 4 times to get what he's asking... The thread title, and the subtitle of his post are misleading.... He aint askin about which buses share the same physical route with other(s).... He's askin, what bus route's physical routing is similar to (an)other bus route's physical routing.... As many buses I've been on, to be honest, what he's asking about, is not something I think about... but that is one hell of an observation... Now that I think about it, some of the turns the Q9 & the Q83 make, are similar.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmatechamp13 Posted November 12, 2010 Share #16 Posted November 12, 2010 So he's saying that the Q9 route is shaped like the Q83 route, just rotated 90 degrees clockwise, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Up Front Posted November 12, 2010 Share #19 Posted November 12, 2010 The N40/41 do follow each other until they get into Freeport. The N43 actually follows the same path as the N40 as well when it gets onto Main Street from Uniondale Avenue. The N70/71/72 (three of the longest LIB routes) pretty much follow each other until they get to Route 110. The N31/32 are also like that, but there are only about eleven N31 trips a day as opposed to the N32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B35 via Church Posted November 13, 2010 Share #21 Posted November 13, 2010 Can this guy come back & clarify what he means... b/c you still have people listing routes that run along the same stretches of roads over other routes.... So he's saying that the Q9 route is shaped like the Q83 route, just rotated 90 degrees clockwise, correct? from what I gather... not much to do about the "shape" of the routings, as much as it is what the bus(es) do, along its routes; the type of similar turns it makes, etc....

However I notice these two routes have similar paths. Yes let me re-instate what I meant here- I mean't to talk about routes that have paths similar to other routes besides others that run together at certain points but ones that mostly go at their own paths. I already gave an example with the Q9 & Q83 and they don't run together at all on the road (anymore anyways). I'll find more examples to make this easier to understand but still...look closely at the current example! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q25toJamaica Posted November 14, 2010 Share #24 Posted November 14, 2010 Q25 and Q65 Jamaica to College Point via one long stretch of road (Kissena/Parsons is really similar for the Q25) Q46 and Q43 from a E/F J for Q43 subway station to the Queens-Nassau Border Idk if that makes sense in your example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
