Threxx Posted October 20, 2012 Share #101 Posted October 20, 2012 ^That's an issue... Nothing compared to the B38 at 7:30 in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted October 20, 2012 Share #102 Posted October 20, 2012 Not really this line would have had a 3 legged transfer for subway users. This would push those to transfer to this line from other lines. However you have a point. I know I have points (plural) as it pertains to this whole Francis Lewis discussion.... One of which prompted you to think of adding a 3-legged xfer for your combined route, in reply to my post.... The funny part is that you think that would make a francis lewis route any more plausible. If the had a station at FL, I'd be more open to it, but cutting the service off from Jamaica is irrational. So it's not just me.... Look at B35's post then look at the Q76's schedule then Q77's schedule then observe the area. You will find something rather interesting then stand at frances lewis blvd at hillside observe ALL traffic. I do understand that an extension of the would make this more feasible. Heck could create more possibilities too. You all present valid concerns however. Yeah, off Hillside, traffic turns northward on Francis Lewis & traffic turns southward on Francis Lewis.... And? You just reinforced all our points by bringing that up; that did not help your case at all.... It's the same pattern that the Q76 & the Q77 turning off hillside do.... Regardless of that, the logic & reasoning you're using to consider combining the two routes is foolish.... You don't screw up the riding habits of current bus riders like that to try to appease those that drive along Francis Lewis that don't turn on hillside into taking a bus route.... Man, I would have fun betting against you... You exemplify the type of person that would fall victim to a sucker bet every single time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really just wanted to know your argument style that's all I really don't care to be honest I think should be extended to Frances lewis ok thank you. I know it's not plausible without the extension actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's not plausible without the extension actually. Right... You wanted to know my "argument style" (like I never directed a post at you before.... as if any of that even matters)... You claim to "really" not care all of a sudden... Nice copout. Q76 remains where it does & the Q77 remains where it does.... No silly combination of the two routes...

Q43LTD Posted October 20, 2012 Share #105 Posted October 20, 2012 You know combining the Q76 and 77 is about as absurd as adding a limited stop at Woodhaven and 101. Combining routes only works on a case by case basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combining routes only works on a case by case basis. yeah only one problem I never mentioned merging Q77 with Q76 that would make Q76 too long. So don't know where you got that. Q8 is too infrequent to get a limited stop on woodhaven not refuting this. The S48.

realizm Posted October 21, 2012 Share #113 Posted October 21, 2012 A bit late but I never like the service of the Q3 during my stay in Queens. The wait times was horrendous with terrible overcrowding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubBus Posted October 22, 2012 Share #114 Posted October 22, 2012 The Q85 is not too far from me, well its easier to walk to the Conduit/Springfield Blvds to catch it. One day Ill ride the route for the hell of it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B35 via Church Posted October 24, 2012 Share #118 Posted October 24, 2012 Don't think I ever did answer this question.... For me... it's a route that went from one of my favorites to fan, to a route I go out of my way to avoid.... and that's the cross bronx subway (you all know it as the Bx12)..... If you don't board @ any of its terminals, your chances of standing amongst a crushload is very high, even though it's an artic route; can't be bothered with that.... Plus, b/w southern blvd & manhattan itself, it's much too slow a crawl, and the traffic along fordham rd has gotten progressively worse too (which is something SBS can not remedy)....

The only thing i'll say about this route is that there should be more frequent service either on the +SBS end (preferably being that it gets more ridership) or the local end. Although, if +SBS headways decrease (PM Rush is about 5 mins right now) the service coming into Co-op might be overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(that's usually what others tend to say about taking manhattan's crosstowns) I am saying they are inferior to the subway in every way with some exceptions. Walking is faster than most crosstowns except if you need to cross central park that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzxeternal Posted October 31, 2012 Share #123 Posted October 31, 2012 Until the introduction of the Limited, which has seemed to have improved things a lot, I would have said the Q58. Now, i'd say the B62, it's Bus Time is pointless when several runs aren't on the map, and the crowding/bunching is absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenFrancis Posted November 3, 2012 Share #124 Posted November 3, 2012 Bx28 / Bx38 I thought the addition of the Bx38 was going to reduce wait times suffered from the Bx28, of course I was wrong , even the Bx30 is quicker and its a longer route than the Bx38, so sad!!

qjtransitmaster Posted November 13, 2012 Share #125 Posted November 13, 2012 You want shit try Q50 it runs like shit. BM5 it has been reduced so bad they should just finish it off already.
