Mott Avenue buses and vans |
|

Posted by Joe on Tue Mar 20 17:29:51 2012 I spent a few minutes yesterday afternoon walking about Mott Avenue, Far Rockaway, near the subway station. What surprised me was the apparently varied competition to MTA buses. There were at least 3 categories of vehicles picking up passengers: light-weight buses with aisles, vans like Econolines, car services with T-C plates and car services with regular plates, honking without cease. I don't expect the car services to display destinations and routes, but the vans and small buses were obviously in business, going somewhere, but without signs. The Q-113 and the Nassau County routes had plenty of passengers, but the other vehicles did too. I overheard a passenger inquire of a van driver, "You going down the beach?," so I suspect some of the independents run parallel to the shore, like the Q-22. The A train passengers appeared relatively few.--- Anybody know where those vans and small buses go? Thanks. Joe |

Some of the vans, especially the ones that stage in the mall lot opposite the subway station, are bound for Jamaica. The others are bound west, but I'm not sure how far they go---I think they go as far as Hammels. |
