when did the 54 operate to Gowanus? it looped around from Myrtle and Jay to Tillary,then to Flatbush..left back on Myrtle for the east bound run to Palmetto for as long as I can recall..from the 60's till today[outside of the street repairs].. I'd love to see an old map of the service you described..

Tell that to the County and the SCT website. I think the S110 route sign is for the riders so they know that it's part of the bus system, and for record keeping. (Since a coach route run Sunrise Coach Lines was documented as 192 and the route had nothing to do with the county bus system.)

Q21 headways used to be 2 buses RH 36min and 1 bus other times, 72min apart.

I have heard drivers announce when local buses are behind them and to just show the receipt.

When the Q21 was rerouted to Arverne by the Sea, it was a local all day. During rush hours in peak direction only, there were additional Q21s that operated as limiteds.

I don't think that a double fare is that big an issue. If you make the trip every day buy an unlimited MetroCard. If you only make the trip once in a while just pay the double fare. I suppose the problem arises if make the trip frequently but not every day.

How do you know that female drivers don't do likewise?

I can't understand why someone with an unlimited MetroCard has to use the ticket machine at all. The biggest convenience of a proof-of-payment system should be that an unlimited pass-holder can just get on the vehicle. The fare inspectors should have a hand held scanner to confirm unlimited MetroCards.

The Q52 was created in January of 2012 as the Q21 Lmtd when it was rerouted to terminate at Averne on Sea instead of Rockaway Park. It was completly seperated as the Q52 that July and the 21 local cut back to being a twin to the Q11 and not crossing the bay.
