Posted by Osmosis Jones on Thu Mar 11 18:58:16 2010, in response to Re: It's time for a Green Acres-Cypress Hill Rockaway Boulevard route, posted by B49 Limited on Wed Mar 10 10:33:15 2010. It should not be a branch but instead it should be streamline to replace the Q 7 portion to Cargo Area and terminal 4. The remaining portion of the route (to the Post office) should be replace by the Q7. This will be temporary for future service to Green Acres.That makes a lot more sense, but do Rockaway Boulevard passengers east of 150th Street really want the (A) train over the (E) train? Disagree Q40 routing should remain the same. There is already too much traffic in the area, and the route serves both major subway lines on Suphin Blvd. Rerouting the Q40 to the Merrick Boulevard and Archer Avenue area would improve the bus network in addition to giving riders direct service to the Jamaica business district. There's no need for it to serve the (F) train when it already serves the (E) train. What benefits would the Q 112 have if it serves the Jamiace LIRR station? Also its routing serves Jamaica Center already and terminates at the Parsons Blvd Station. So there is no need to change. Mostly regional connectivity (LIRR and Airtrain) in addition to better serving the Jamaica business district. No. Q 22/ 35 should be merged. Then extend the B 2 to Rockaway Pk. The new B 2 extension should operate rush hours only. I think that the B2 should be extended to Mill Basin with the B100 eliminated, but that's another discussion. My Q35 branch to the Kings Highway subway station can act as a limited stop variation of the aforementioned Mill Basin B2. Q111 Cederhurst rush hour service should be extended to Far Rockaway - Seagirt Blvd. The route should be extended along the old Q 113 LTD routing. The one time I rode the Q111 the driver said that I was the first one to ride past 148th Street during the months she's been doing the trip, if the extension really does get as little ridership as she suggested then maybe it's best to get rid of it. Q1 and Q 43:Either eliminate Q 1 and keep the Braddock Av Branch of the Q 1 and streamline with the Q 43 route. (So both the New Q 1 and Q 43 buses terminate at Jamaica LIRR Station and Q 1 serves Queen Village and the Q 43 still remains to Floral Park) During Rush hours, make all Q 43 run limited stops, and all Q 1 will replace Q 43 local service. The Q1 Queens Village branch is a necessary evil that would probably see a whole bunch of community opposition to it should it be eliminated. I do however think that the Q1 Braddock Avenue branch should be extended to Floral Park if the Q36 and Q110 ever get swapped. Q 21 and Q 41: Eliminate the Q 21. Extend the Q 41 to Arverne - B 108 St or all Q 53 buses make all stops in Broad Channel. Agreed, with the Q21 extension to Queens Center that pretty much kills any chance of that happening though. Here is some ideas for Jackson Heights/ LGA routes area I'd like to see a new Columbus Circle-Flushing Roosevelt Avenue route. I'd also like to see the Q33 extended to the Woodside LIRR station. |
