An In-Service Artic on 80th Street in Middle Village....


Recommended Posts

....just a rerouted Q53.

This happened as a result of a car crash on Woodhaven Boulevard, which closed the boulevard down for multiple blocks. Initially, Q29 buses were operating normally, with Q11 buses joining the Q29 along Dry Harbor Road and 80th Street to Metropolitan Avenue. The Q53 OTOH was using Eliot Avenue, 80th Street, and Metropolitan Ave in both directions.

Eventually, for reasons unknown, the last Q29 of the day (both final bus and the final bus to Jackson Heights) was detoured via 80th Street and Eliot Avenue instead of via Dry Harbor Road. Sucks because if you see in the beginning of the video, there was someone waiting for that Q29 at the beginning of the video (by the gas station). Don't know how that person get home. The car crash happened at around 10 PM or so, and a detour notice was not posted until 2:51 AM. Service resumed around 5 AM.
