[Harry 1,089]

Now its time to see and to compare the differences in service changes and additions between a current NYCT Queens (Jamaica) bus map and a 1980 NYCTA Queens (Jamaica) bus map.

 

The areas covered are Jamaica.

Here's some former private lines for the nostalgia fans.

Wow talk about times have changed the B22, B53, B56 is now the Q24, Q54 and Q56. The to 179th Street b/c Jamaica Center wasn't built yet. Q44's old route, Q17A is now the Q30

Very cool stuff Man! I remember riding the Q66, about 15 years ago...

How about the X24 what the deal with that route.

[Q43 Floral Park 39]

It's the x64 now. It seemed to have a diferent routing back then because if you look it doesn't continue on Liberty Av past Merrick Bl.

 

Okay I can understand why the Q79 was the Q12A back then but why was the Q30 called the Q17A and the Q83 called the Q3A? they didn't have any correlation to those routes.

Thanks for sharing, Harry!

 

I've never even heard of Metropolitan Suburban Bus Authority before. Must be completely defunct now.

MSBA became Long Island Bus. There were some old 600 Orion Vs which still had the MSBA decal on it.

pretty much all those SE Queens routes had single-digit route numbers, so I can understand the 3a/83 part of it...

 

...but the 30 being the 17a... I don't quite get that one either bro....
