Turbo19 Posted February 16, 2013 Share #801 Posted February 16, 2013 Correct answer. I have another. These two routes share the same terminals, one of which is a retail center. They are both nearly parallel and are never more than five miles apart. Name the two routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo19 Posted February 16, 2013 Share #805 Posted February 16, 2013 Though I can tell you're not all that confident in your answer, you did bring it up so you're correct. The S74 & S78. In retrospect the S44 & S61 make sense, but they're not as parallel. Would you like to go ahead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share #806 Posted February 16, 2013 Oh okay. I'll go I am too overcrowded rush hours , given the crappy headways I have. Even the two express bus routes in my area are more frequent. Isn't that sad. I'm not a fail, but my headways are. With a bus route not so far away that ends in the same number, runs parallel to my northern portion. This bus also operates 2.33 times more frequent than me AM rush hours and 2.49 times more frequent than me. This other bus also ending in the same number as me is an alternative when I'm not running. Who is me, the crappy headways bus? Who is he, the better bus with better headways? Who is he, my alternative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BM5 via Woodhaven Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share #808 Posted February 16, 2013 Reply in red.Nope. Te Q11 operates 5 times more frequent than the Q21 AM rush and 3.83 times more frequent than the Q21 PM run . You still have one more guess. By the way the third bus operates for the same operating hours of the first bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't exactly know what you mean when you say this... Are you trying to say both routes have the same start & end times, or are you trying to say both routes run for the same amount of hours? -------------------- To tell the truth, I'm just thinking of routes that end in the same number that run in the same area...

Oh, alright... Gotcha..... Guess I'll go. If QJT doesn't stop talking about extending me through a barricade, I'ma run him over ! (kidding.... but +1rep if anyone knows what I'm referencing with this) Alright, here's the real riddle I want y'all to guess on: Jusst the two of us... we can make it if we tryyyyyyy, just the 2 of usssss.... just-tha-2-of-us! .....Except I am the least popular of the two, by far.... For all practical purposes, we have the same northern terminal.... We serve the same subway corridors; running 1 subway station away from each other (not counting the subway station we terminate at) .... We both run above RR trackage... We both run in the same parts of our borough, but yet, I'm the quieter one & that other one is more extraverted (lol)..... Well at least I don't have to bother with that headache of running to that major destination that other one does, because I end at a residential neighborhood just above it....... But I do got something up on the other route though..... ....aaaaand they're off. Who am I ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do got something up on the other route though..... ....aaaaand they're off. Who am I ? Well, Turbo beat me to the first one. For the second one, well, we're looking for two routes that generally travel north-south, with the northern terminal being at or near the same subway station. Then for the southern terminal, one terminates at a major destination (maybe a mall) while the other terminates in a residential neighborhood. You mentioned that they run one stop away from each other, and they serve subway corridors (plural), which suggests that both routes are more grid routes than feeder routes. (So it probably wouldn't be in say, Eastern Queens) It could be the Q10 & Q37. Both cross over the LIRR tracks, both have a northern terminal at Kew Gardens. The Q10 terminates at JFK (and sees more usage), whereas the Q37 just terminates in South Ozone Park, but the Q37 serves the Racino (unlike the Q10) Pass.

B35 via Church Posted February 17, 2013 Share #822 Posted February 17, 2013 I thought the very last clue was a dead giveaway; *and they're off* is how announcers announce the beginning of horse races..... horse > aqueduct > Q37... yeah. -------------------------- Since you pass..... People want to run artics on me, people think I should be split, people want me to have limited service, some have even suggested SBS... One thing's for sure, I am notorious for bunching..... At one of my terminals I end alongside a playground; RR trackage exists a couple yards behind (1/2 block or so).... My other terminal I used to share with another route, but now I have it all to myself.... Who am I ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmatechamp13 Posted February 17, 2013 Share #823 Posted February 17, 2013 Actually, the thing about the Racino didn't help too much. I was looking for subway routes that run east-west, and the ones in Brooklyn didn't really make sense, so I figured it had to be the QBL. And the Q10/37 were the only routes I could think of that really run south of QB in a grid-like pattern. Anyway, that was a good riddle. As for the other riddle, I want to say the Q60, but AFAIK, it's the only route that ever terminated by that part of South Jamaica. Unless you're talking about the Manhattan terminal, and they moved the Q101 terminal a block away or something. Hmmm, long, unreliable routes without a limited that end near railroad tracks. I'll have to think about this.... (unless that's the answer, in which case I pass again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted February 18, 2013 Share #824 Posted February 18, 2013 Correct. It's the Q60..... =========================== 1) I am a feeder route who's main purpose is to take riders to one subway line..... One of my terminals, I terminate with 2 other bus routes - with both of those routes having the same terminal on both ends.... My other terminal - Well, if you like reading, I'm your bus...... Who am I ? I run from a RR station to an industrial park.... I have a weekday counterpart that some people wanted to combine with a route that has now been replaced with a branch of another route..... Who am I ?
