The official name of the terminal @ 165th St. was Long Island Bus Terminal. The name used to be in a terrazzo floor at the street entrance. I don't know if that's still there.I am not positive, but I think it may have been originally used exclusively by the Bee Line when they operated both the Nassau-Queens routes and the southeast Queens routes. When North Shore took over the southeast Queens routes, it became a shared facility with both Bee Line and North Shore. MTA does not own the facility. It is privately owned and leased by MTA. Jamaica Bus Terminal was located @ New York Blvd. (now Guy Brewer) & Archer Ave.. That was used by Green Bus Lines and Schenck Transportation. |
