Official Surface Transit Trivia


East New York

Recommended Posts

I have two guesses to this.... I'll just post the first one for now:

 

 

The Q44.

 

outside of the current Q44 service, you had the old Q44a, 44b, 44vp (vleigh place), and the 44fs (flushing shuttle)

 

 

you want the current route numbers too... baahhh (lol)...

 

44a, IINM is todays Q46

44b, the malba route; there is no current route that exists for this

(I may have the 44a & 44b swapped, though)

 

44fs, today's q20a/b

44vp, dead giveaway w/ the "vp"... that's today's q74

I have one. Up to the 1980s, which NYCT routes in Queens had the most "feeders"? List the feeders and their currents route numbers。

 

The Q5

The Q5A now the Q85

The Q5AB now the Q85 to Rochdale, hence why it only runs during rush-hour

There was another Q5 that ran on 225 St, but I forgot the designation.

The Q5S which ran on Francis Lewis, which is now the defunct Q86

Two part Queens Surface trivia question:

 

Queens Surface (now part of MTA Bus) came together in 1986 as a result of the merging of two former private bus line operators in Queens:

1) Can you name the two former operators that merged to form Queens Surface;

 

2) From the 1986 merger to 1988 when Linden Bus Company acquired the routes and renamed it Queens Surface, what was its' original name?

Looks like nobody knows the answers. So IIRC:

 

1) Queens Transit Corp., and Steinway Transit Corp.

2) Queens/Steinway Transit Corp.

Okay, I think I will join the trivia fray. I have some HARD questions that date back to the 1980's and 1990's. Most of it is Queens-related. So without further adoo, here we go with an easy one...

 

GMC-RTS 04 #2201 was the first RTS delivered to NYCT. Name the feature that was unique to only this bus?
