Posted by BusMgr on Wed Nov 9 14:36:44 2011, in response to Re: making the QM22 cost neutral, posted by Osmosis Jones on Wed Nov 9 09:46:23 2011. Many years ago the Q101 went to Rikers Island, but the local Astoria community did not want to share the same buses with "outsiders" destined for Rikers Island. Nor did the local Astoria community want those "outsiders" making connections to and from the subway within their community. The "outsiders" were viewed as troublemakers. Thus, a non-stop route was established between Rikers Island and a subway station outside Astoria . . . Queensboro Plaza station. But to be "fair" and non-discriminatory to all involved, these separate buses had an equal span of service (i.e., 24 hours a day) and a comparable (though not exactly equal) frequency of service. |
