Q43LTD Posted July 27, 2014 Share #12751 Posted July 27, 2014 I have a question for my surface people, especially the older Queens folk. Mom and I were recalling the days(60s-70ish) when we would travel from Brooklyn to visit relatives in Queens. The trip(s) usually started in Bed-Stuy where we would catch the to B'way-ENY and transfer to the #15 Jamaica train, today's . Sometimes we would catch the LIRR at Nostrand Avenue to Union Hall St. Either way we would walk over to the bus terminal at 165th St for our bus. We can't remember if it was the Q4A or Q5A but we took it to Farmers Blvd and Murdock Avenue. The question is which bus was it back then and what bus would I take today if I wanted to make the same trip. I know this goes wayyyyy back in time but I'm old enough to remember when there were fish in Baisley Pond park, there was a New York Boulevard, not Guy Brewer, and Jamaica racetrack was still in operation, LOL. Thanks in advance. Carry onIt was the Q3A which is today's Q83... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted July 28, 2014 Share #12769 Posted July 28, 2014 Whats a "teleport" and "travis" in staten island? Good question, I live in Staten Island and I'm not even so sure. I know the Teleport is a shopping mall, has modells and Burlington Coat factory in it (the neighbourhood might even be called Teleport (probably something industrial related)) and I believe Travis is a neighborhood (pretty industrial on one end) near the West Shore Expressway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No MTAB buses, 126 buses, or TU buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted July 28, 2014 Share #12772 Posted July 28, 2014 Why can't all the unions be the same? Why is there Mabstoa and MTA bus and nyct, and atu, twu, and all those different unions.

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted July 28, 2014 Share #12773 Posted July 28, 2014 Why can't all the unions be the same? Why is there Mabstoa and MTA bus and nyct, and atu, twu, and all those different unions. Why can't it just be under one roof? Because they were originally separate and no one wants to give in and lose whatever advantages that they currently have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't it just be under one roof?It was designed like that from the beginning. As long as we are fighting each other over stupid union politics, we are not banding together fighting "the man". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
