Posted by Far Rockaway A Train on Sun Jan 19 00:15:35 2020, in response to Re: Queens Bus Redesign Draft Proposals, posted by Osmosis Jones on Wed Jan 15 17:51:49 2020. Few people rode it when it was a super express though, half-empty Q53s would routinely pass jam-packed Q11s. The poor reliability due to how the city forced the private bus lines out and that weird detour up 63rd Drive didn't help, but there just wasn't too much demand for it as a super express.I don't know what Q53 bus you're talking about, but I rode that bus for almost 40 years and it was very popular and it was crowded during rush hours in peak direction only. When Triboro had it, it was extremely reliable-in fact the most reliable bus line along with the MSBA routes out here in Rockaway. During the summer weekends, the Q53 operated every 5 minutes and the buses were jammed packed-premium fare and all. I can personally attest that since the TA took over the route, they royally f*cked up the Q53. They took a pleasant 30 minute trip and turned it into a hellacious hour plus trip. They should've left the Q53 as it was and let the Q21 (at the time the TA took over) become a limited. |
