The question is why it doesn't go there now?There are probably two reasons, which point to the inertia within the TA. First, the route predates the subway. The destination was to the LIRR railroad station. Even though they have made revisions to the routing in Flushing because of direction changes to one-way streets, they have never bothered to rethink the reason for the routing since 1928. Second, looping onto Main Street at 41st Ave meant they would not cross tracks with those of the NY & Queens going to Jamaica. They have yet to notice that the NY & Queens converted to buses in 1936. |
