Posted by BusMgr on Tue Feb 24 03:08:47 2015, in response to Q48 Re: Q48 Guide-a-Ride question, posted by B49 Limited on Tue Feb 24 02:20:00 2015. I can't see there being any significant transfer traffic between the Q48 and any other bus route in Flushing. Permanently merging the Q48 with another route would simply reduce the flexibility in scheduling and service levels that separate routes permit. (For this same line of reasoning, consider whether routes Q25, Q34, and Q65 ought continue to be through-routes, or if each should be broken at Roosevelt Avenue.)In any event, I think Q48 will continue to serve a purpose in providing service in the 108th Street corridor. Now, it may well be that service ought to be provided by merging routes Q48 and Q23, so that there is a continuous route along the full length of 108th Street, and to eliminate turns and a rather slow portion of the Q23 along the narrow streets of Corona, but that portion of Q48 between Roosevelt Avenue and Ditmars Blvd. will remain important regardless of what happens (or does not happen) with respect to any AirTrain proposal. |
