Lil 57 Posted February 6, 2019 Share #1 Posted February 6, 2019 What are bus routes that like to bunch? In my experience some routes I've seen often bunching are the, S78, S79 SBS, Q32, Q58, Q60, Q66. What are some other routes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brillant93 Posted February 6, 2019 Share #6 Posted February 6, 2019 Bunching to me is inevitable. Whether we like it or not and or if there’s ways to help improve bunching it’s still going to happen. Traffic, lack of enforcement for traffic violations, and other factors are going to make buses bunch. For my list is the B41, B47, B6, B68, and others.

B35 via Church Posted February 6, 2019 Share #7 Posted February 6, 2019 Routes that like to bunch? This is where we need that dude Yuki (Endo) right now; notorious for compiling long ass lists of bus routes whenever questions of the sort arise.... If only someone can find the (or, one of his) posts of his in one of those *what's your favorite route* type of question threads/discussions... Dude just about listed every freakin route, even discontinued ones... Like, honestly now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGA Link N Train Posted February 7, 2019 Share #15 Posted February 7, 2019 The Q60 and Q23 have bad bunching. I rest my case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are some other routes? not too sure about the "like to" analysis, but the lines i think of when i hear the word bunching are the B3 (am rush) B6 (for obvious reasons) B7 (am rush, since the Fresh Pond takeover) B12, B15, B41, B47, SBS Q53, SBS Q44, Q40 & Q41 (am rush believe it or not) Q43 & Q46 (technicalities) M15 (pm rush shoulder & late evenings) SBS M15, M96 & Bx3, just to name quite a few.

NoHacksJustKhaks Posted February 10, 2019 Share #20 Posted February 10, 2019 Q22's can be sporadic, the worst was when I saw five southbound Q22's bunched together near Beach 67 street, and I even saw another one following behind! It must've been a crowded hellhole on that Far-Rock bound Q22 that came more than an hour and 15-30 minutes later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted February 11, 2019 Share #21 Posted February 11, 2019 Just for the hell of it..... 1] Which of the Flushing feeders (quote-unquote) would anyone here say is the worst offender of bunching? 2] Which of the Downtown Brooklyn - Ridgewood terminal routes would anyone here say is the worst offender of bunching? 3] The Staten Island (local) route you'd say that's the worst offender of bunching is..... 4] The routes that run out of Grand av (depot) the general consensus here believes are VERY unreliable.... With that said, which of them is the worst offender of bunching in y'alls opinion? 5] The route with the highest headway you can think of that's rather prone to bunching on any level at times, is the..... 6] Manhattan's crosstowns - can't live with 'em, can't live without em (well, the hell I can't yes I can, but I just wanted to say that... LOL)... Seriously though, which of these slowpokes that operate below 59th st would you say is the absolute worst with its propensity to bunch? 7] Out of all the north-south routes that connect to that number subway line in Queens, which has the worst bunching? 8] Out of all the interborough routes that do not have SBS variants, which route has the worst bunching? 9] Of any route that serves both Jamaica and Flushing, which route bunches the least? 10] Between the 2 depots in this city that house the most local routes, give me a (combined) top 5 of the worst offenders of bunching....

I don't know all but I'll give you a few. 1. Q58 3. S78 or S79 SBS (The S79 is notorious for coming in packs while the S78 is notorious for having 30+ minute waits throughout the day above Richmond Ave) 4. Q58 (Again) 5.

I've heard the M31 has gone to s**t over at 100 street, but my vote would be for the m14 Crosstowns 7) Q25. don't know how many people actually use the SBS Q53 to "connect" to the but definitely the 25 comes to mind 8] pm rush Q54 (westbound to the bridge, which results in ridiculous waits going towards Queens 9) Q20A/B 10) if my assumption is correct, you're speaking of Quill & West Farms. based on that assumption, I'd say combined = Bx21, Bx36, M14A/D, SBS M23 & SBS M86 (no particular order) pretty sure people may disagree.

The Q58 might have taken that place though. 5) I would say the Q38. 6) The M42 I'd say has it worst. 7) The Q47. 8) The Q32. 9) I would say the Q34. 10) Bx12, Bx41, M42, M57, M66.
