Thanks. I found the subway stuff while doing bus research.

I had no Idea that the Q27 had been extended to Merrick Blvd, before. That was before the Q5 it was extended to Green Acres right? Also, was the Q5 extended only because the N5 was discontinued?

@bobtehpanda @N6 Limited You finally got me to write the Q27 bus article for Wikipedia. Here it is:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q27_(New_York_City_bus).

I am still adding more on its early history so stay tuned.

I plan on writing one for the Q88 soon. I already have a lot of material for it. Other routes I might tackle are the Q16, Q30/Q31, Q26, and Q76.
