Posted by Snilcher on Thu Sep 17 11:34:23 2026, in response to Re: W.B.'s Bus Almanac for September 16th [DELAYED], posted by W.B. on Thu Sep 17 09:36:59 2026. According to the Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q88_(New_York_City_bus):Service started on September 16, 1974, after the New York City Board of Estimate approved a franchise for the route on September 12. The route's original eastern terminal was Springfield Boulevard and Union Turnpike. In January 1979, it was announced that Q88 service would be extended from Union Turnpike to Hillside Avenue, with those buses heading along Springfield Boulevard to Jamaica Avenue, on the way to Queens Village Bus Depot, running in service, making stops along Springfield Boulevard, instead of deadheading. On July 15, 1988, the MTA Board approved the extension of all trips on the route along Springfield Boulevard from Hillside Avenue to Jamaica Avenue to simplify service. At the time, 40 percent of trips operate to and from Jamaica Avenue, on an irregular basis. The change took effect on September 11, 1988. (See the page itself for sources.) |
