Forest Glen Posted May 29, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 29, 2011 http://www.mta.info/mta/news/books/pdf/110421_1115_BUS.pdf Scroll down to page 57 The Cliff Notes version of the changes is that the Q113 Limited will use Rockaway Blvd instead of 147 Avenue and the "Snake Road" to travel between Springfield Gardens and Five Towns. Some X22 trips will serve the Outerbridge Park and Ride The X37 and X38 will return, replacing the jokes known as the X27B and X28B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTrain Posted May 29, 2011 Share #2 Posted May 29, 2011 The X37/38 return is a good move in my book! The West Street variations were not helping out with even loading of the X27/28 routes at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bknightshadow45 Posted May 29, 2011 Share #3 Posted May 29, 2011 Also stated on the PDF that the (M50) bus route will be shorten from 1st Avenue and 42nd Street to 49th Street and weekend service is restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRG Posted May 29, 2011 Share #5 Posted May 29, 2011 Good to see the X37 and X38 will be making a comeback. Unlike some express bus routes I know of (perfect example being the X90) the X37 and X38 deserve to be reincarnated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Via Garibaldi 8 Posted May 29, 2011 Share #6 Posted May 29, 2011 Yeah, X27 riders did a big "Yay!" when Senator Golden told them as they were boarding. Now the big buzz is weekend restoration. That is an ongoing open petition for anyone who is interested. Anyone who wants to sign the petition just let me know. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qjtransitmaster Posted May 29, 2011 Share #10 Posted May 29, 2011 If everybody who signed that petition actually rode the weekend service, it wouldn't have been killed. good one ur right since the BM rtes have less service and ridership overall if their weekend service was as dismal as the X27/28 their weekend service would have been canned first!!!!! If it was used if wouldnt have died. Plus it should become open door on weekends if restored!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousNYLover Posted May 29, 2011 Share #11 Posted May 29, 2011 Slightly off-topic, I even did petition on Q69/Q18 about restoring QM22 service and many signed it, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Via Garibaldi 8 Posted May 29, 2011 Share #12 Posted May 29, 2011 Slightly off-topic, I even did petition on Q69/Q18 about restoring QM22 service and many signed it, too. I refuse to go back and forth about what should and shouldn't be restored. I know what lines I want to see come back and I'm going to push to get them restored. Whoever doesn't like it too bad.

qjtransitmaster Posted May 30, 2011 Share #13 Posted May 30, 2011 Slightly off-topic, I even did petition on Q69/Q18 about restoring QM22 service and many signed it, too. they can extend q69 to manhattan instead of restoring qm22 the 22 duplicated q69 but qm22 went to manhattan so 2 rush hour trips need to extend and replace qm22. Also I made a plan that indirectly restores routes in creative ways and at the same time creating new ones. For example The Bx55 becomes a direct route or limited direct rapid line extending over I-278 to LGA non stop then non stop via grand central to main st where it replaces Q74 or Q38 partially via LIE. Q33 extends to lower east side via the BQE with a stop in williamsburg replacing B39 and indirectly restoring service. Since it goes to LGA and jackson heights via the highway it will attract more riders than the B39 while making B39 folk happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousNYLover Posted May 30, 2011 Share #14 Posted May 30, 2011 This time, they also want to have more service with 3 branches, 3rd Av and Downtown Loop. Maybe they might divert 8th Av to 6th av branch since QM24 moved to 6th Av. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just said eliminate the QM3 and QM18. You're forcing more riders on the (Q10) and (Q12). The (Q53) and (Q104) should stay as is. Hell all those routes should stay the same.

I only said the qm18/3 based on opinions of others that was not my original idea sorry for the mixup moving on I get it but B35 and a few others said that QM3 was wasteful.
