Posted by gbs on Thu Aug 28 23:36:25 2014, in response to MTA service changes on 8/31/2014: M12, BX24, B13, B83, Q8, Q17, Q27, Q114, S93, X21, posted by Gold_12th on Thu Aug 28 19:34:25 2014. Q17, Q27 terminal relocationsThe terminals for both routes in downtown Flushing will be relocated from Main Street between 39th Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue to 138th Street between 39th and 37th Avenues. This can't be correct as written. First of all, does "terminal" refer to the drop-off location of the last stop of buses arriving at Flushing from Jamaica (currently on 39 Av between Main St and Prince St, along side the church), or to the lay-over location where the buses park between runs (currently on 38 Av between Prince St and Main St, along the other side of the church), or to the boarding location at the first stop of the route (currently on Main St between 39 Av and Roosevelt Av)? Perhaps for some bus routes the "terminal" is the same for all three, but for the Q17 and Q27, the last stop, lay-over spot, and first stop are at three different locations. If the new "terminal" on 138 St represents the new last stop and the new first stop in addition to the lay-over spot, there will be lots of complaints, and rightly so, since that location is much further from the subway than the current locations. My understanding is that the re-route means that the buses arriving in Flushing from Jamaica will turn right onto 39 Av from Main St (instead of left, as they do now), and drop off the riders right there, at the corner of 39 Av and Main St, next to Chase bank. Then the (empty) bus will turn left onto 138 St for its lay-over, then turn left onto 37 Av and left onto Main St to begin its route at the current first stop. I hope this is what will happen. |
