traildriver Posted June 12, 2009 Share #1 Posted June 12, 2009 I remember way back in the mid 1950's when the old Queens Transit was called Queens - Nassau Transit. I have searched for the history of this and can't find any reference to any routes that would fit with that name. Does anyone have any info on this history?

traildriver Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted June 13, 2009 I found its history including the fact that it was called Queens Nassau Transit Lines from around 1937 until 1957 when it was shortened to Queens Transit Corp., but still no history of its routes that would befit that earlier name. I recall there were two companies (Schenck and Bee Line?) that did run from Flushing and Jamaica subway terminals into Nassau that were long ago taken over by LI Bus....

EE Broadway Local Posted December 28, 2009 Share #4 Posted December 28, 2009 Bee-Line, Inc. operated the N1 through N6; Schenk Transportation the N20 through N27. Schenk acquired Nassau Bus Line (N31-N33) and Universal Auto Bus (N57 and N58). Bee-Liine, Inc. subsidiaries were: Rockville Centre Bus (N14-N17); Utility Lines (N19); Stage Coach Lines (N71, N73-N74 and former N70) and Mid-Island Transit N78-N81). These along with Jerusalem Avenue Bus Line (N51 N54/N55), Hempstead Bus Corporation (N41, N45, N47-N49), Roosevelt Bus Line (N62) and Branch Bus Corporation (N69) were all unified by the M.T.A. into the Metropolitan Suburban Bus Authority in 1973.

DevilBus65 Posted December 29, 2009 Share #5 Posted December 29, 2009 Both Steinway Transit and Queens Transit started out as trolley companies. Perhaps adding that might make your search more fruitful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
