And they still didn't put in that westbound stop at CSI. That extra service is definitely nice, but it would be even nicer if it was usable in both directions. |

Q17, Q27 terminal relocationsThe terminals for both routes in downtown Flushing will be relocated from Main Street between 39th Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue to 138th Street between 39th and 37th Avenues. This can't be correct as written. First of all, does "terminal" refer to the drop-off location of the last stop of buses arriving at Flushing from Jamaica (currently on 39 Av between Main St and Prince St, along side the church), or to the lay-over location where the buses park between runs (currently on 38 Av between Prince St and Main St, along the other side of the church), or to the boarding location at the first stop of the route (currently on Main St between 39 Av and Roosevelt Av)? Perhaps for some bus routes the "terminal" is the same for all three, but for the Q17 and Q27, the last stop, lay-over spot, and first stop are at three different locations. If the new "terminal" on 138 St represents the new last stop and the new first stop in addition to the lay-over spot, there will be lots of complaints, and rightly so, since that location is much further from the subway than the current locations. My understanding is that the re-route means that the buses arriving in Flushing from Jamaica will turn right onto 39 Av from Main St (instead of left, as they do now), and drop off the riders right there, at the corner of 39 Av and Main St, next to Chase bank. Then the (empty) bus will turn left onto 138 St for its lay-over, then turn left onto 37 Av and left onto Main St to begin its route at the current first stop. I hope this is what will happen. |

If the M12 is successful then it's to end the M10/20 split and make one route as it was in years past.Also time to restore the M104 to 42nd Street as well. |

I can't wait until the winter season. When the snow falls, that hill is NO joke. Be interesting if the Q17 and Q27 will handle that. In my opinion, it's steeper than the hill on Prince St between 39th and 38th Avs. |

It's probably just as steep as Roosevelt Av between Main St and Union St, which lots of buses handle all the time. And it's not as steep as 188 St north of Hillside Av, a regular part of the Q17 route. |

Nice, Ill probably take the B13 tomorrow to see what they done with it. I hope it still ends near Gateway I next to the Home Depot. |

Re: Gateway Mall ExtensionYou're SOL if if you want the Site Drive or the Junction bound B83 @ Erskine. The Site Drive stops was apparently scrapped & the Erskine Street/Gateway Drive stop Junction bound is missing. Yet, you can track buses at these physically nonexistent stops |

M12 is a welcome addition to the west side. Based on the bustime stop listings it looks like the M12 will not stop at West 57 & 7th Ave but it does pass it. Seems like a waste to skip this stop as many people wait there for the M31 or M57 to get to the Hospital, John Jay College and CBS on 10th Ave. M12 would take a load off the crowded rush hour 31/57. |
