Thinking about this some more, I had once come up with the notion of a "perfect" street and bus combination, wherein a single bus route traverses the entire stretch of a given street in both directions. There are fewer examples of those than you would think.In Queens I can think of: Woodhaven Blvd - Q11, Q21, Q52, Q53 (in the old days none of these qualified; even the Q11 ran on 94th St. instead of Woodhaven in the southernmost portion.) Queens Blvd - Q60 Dry Harbor Road - Q29 Thomson Ave - Q39 (unless you count the half-block stretch east of Van Dam St, which is just an "entrance ramp" to Queens Blvd) Main St. - Q44 (only since it was rerouted to the Van Wyck station) Cross Bay Blvd / Q21 used to qualify until it was routed through Lindenwood. Also worthy of consideration: if a portion of a street is one-way but the route traverses that street in that direction. That would include Hollis Ave - Q2 Anyone want to offer suggestions for the other boroughs? |
