['89 Liberty MCI 2]

I'm sure my mom or dad must have taken me on the Bx24 when I was a baby though I may not remember. As long as the route was canceled after 6/20/1992.

[Q25toJamaica 9]

Q69 (old version, not Q19A)- From Hunter's Point to LIC

Q89- A Triboro Line (not the Q9A) Elmhurst to Jackson Heights

Q99- Some Jamaica thing

Q24 old version Grand Ave to Woodside

That's all I can remember off the top of my head, and im not gonna even go into the renumbering.

[Guest MTA Bus]

The Q69 Used To Run Between Long Island City And Hunters Point.I Miss That Route Too

['89 Liberty MCI 2]

Anyone remember the Q21A, from Rockaway to East New York? I never rode it but I saw it on the rollsign of MTA Bus (ex-Green) GMC #5839. Came to the end of the line and had the bus op go thru all the readings actually.

 

Q21A BEACH 35 STREET ONLY

 

Q21A FAR ROACKAWAY

 

Q21A IRT SUBWAY NEW LOTS

 

Sounded like an interesting route, going along Linden Blvd to the train. Must've had some good speed on Cross Bay and Linden.

Yea I have the 1989 one with the Q21A.

[twilson1160 36]

i remember taking the Bx24 to Riverdale. It was sad that they had to discontinue that route on 9/10/1995:(

[Micstromme 20]

The B50 use to travel from Spring Creek to Flatbush and back. Now it is just the B82 from Coney to Spring.

[Q43 Floral Park 39]

The B78 which use to run on rulph ave.....

 

Same goes for the B40 which is no more.

 

The Bx24 used to stop down the block from my house. it was a nice route, not too long, not a whole mess of people. I miss it.

 

the Q5A/AB/S: don't remember the routings for all of them but this was being discussed on Buschat

 

Q49: old Archer av shuttle when the El was being knocked down

[Orion 27]

I used to take the Bx31 everyday at Woodlawn - Neried Avenue, but now I take it at 233st to transfer to the Bx16 after the re-route to Katonah Avenue. Never been on other routes since the 16 and 31 was all I rode back then.

The old Bx54 started at the Simpson St. (2)/(5) station, and ran Southern, Bruckner, Bronx River, Story, White Plains, Westchester, Metropolitan. It ended at the Oval. It was discontinued in 1990.

[B35 via Church 9,489]

* the old B5 & B50 (much better than this current B82)

* the old B78

* the old B18 (that s*** had to go... extending the B13 only made sense)

* the old B40

* the old B62

* the old Q69

I miss that B50 i use to take it to school every moring B78 im glad its gone wait time was no good.

I wonder if the display signs on the buses still show the old routes, if you punch in the proper code. For example, if you hit 3231 (which would be the Bx23), would it come up?

[T J Trainman 594]

The old Q-89 was not a triboro thing that was actually out of the Hudson Pier depot. I think it was elimnated in the early 1990s.

[East New York 4,046]

The original B24, now the Q24.
