September 4th, 2022 Bus Route & Service Changes


BM5 via Woodhaven

Recommended Posts

***Can a mod move this to the bus forum***

Here's a list of bus route and service changes which took effect on September 4th. While many of these changes were simply reverting routes and service to pre-summer levels, there were a few schedule changes. These new schedules were released late in many instances, some weren't available until after the 4th. Keep in mind that some other routes also had new timetables come out, but these were limited to formatting changes in the timetable, or minor trip time changes (<5 minutes) which were negligible in the aggregate.

Q88: Regular School Year Service Levels Have Resumed

*NOTE: While the changes in the EB direction reflect trips listed on the timetable (to Queens Village), note that during the school year, additional buses from QCM to Horace Harding & Francis Lewis Blvd run during the AM rush, which are not listed in the schedule (St. Francis Prep trippers). As a result, even though a net reduction in scheduled service levels may appear, this actually is an increase in actual service provided. Therefore, trip difference notes will not be placed for time periods which include any time from 6:30 AM - 9:00 AM. 

Eastbound (to Queens Village):

  • 6:59 AM - 9:00 AM: Service will operate every 10-15 minutes instead of every 6-8 minutes

Q50 LIMITED - All Weekday Early AM Service Now Originates in Co-Op City

  • Service from 3:30 AM to 6:00 AM will now operate in Section 5 of Co-Op City

SIM23 - New AM Trip Added

  • A 7:30 AM trip from Hylan Boulevard & Pollion Avenue to Midtown has been added (+1 trip)

SIM24 - New AM Trip Added

  • A 7:30 AM trip from Hylan Boulevard & Luten Avenue to Midtown has been added (+1 trip)

So they're slowing adding more buses back to Co-Op City, I wonder if this trend will continue over time.

Also I'm glad to see that they're adding back trips to the SIM23/24.

They would also have to extend the last Q50 bus to Co Op City 7 days a week to fully restore the span of service as Co Op City has no direct service after 1am from Pelham Bay Park. The Bx28 eastbound stop at Edson Avenue has been eliminated so anyone taking the Bx12 local has a much longer walk to get the Bx28 at night than before.
