But on long routes.... |

Posted by gbs on Wed Aug 25 21:29:04 2021, in response to I was on Channel 11 last night with Greg Mocker, posted by BrooklynBus on Tue Aug 24 10:25:17 2021. Anyone who's ridden the Q5 from Rosedale to Jamaica, or the Q66 from Woodside to Flushing, realizes how maddening it is to stop every two blocks on Merrick Blvd or Northern Blvd. The cross-streets are close together, and spacing the bus stops further apart would be beneficial for those riding a long distance. Even the Q5LTD is not limited south of Springfield Blvd, and there is no Q66LTD at all. These Queens bus stops are about 500' apart. A cross-town bus in Manhattan that stops at 5 Av and then at 6 Av is stopping 1000' apart. Perhaps the standard in areas with close streets should be 750', or about three short blocks. |
