The "foot of the other side of the bridge" terminals are an outdated concept, left over from the street cars from Queens and brooklyn not being able to operate on Manhattan trackage and vice versa. the only reason the Q60 and Q101 end there is they are the current incarnations of those old streetcar lines ,and that's where thier franchises say they end and nobody has bothered to do anything about it.59th/2nd is not close enough to anything important. It's not even relativly close to it's nearest subway station on the grand scale of things. You'd have better luck using it as a launching point for a crosstown ETB tunnel like what they had in Seattle before the Light Rail trains came on-line. |
