Because they must feel the 60 minute weekday nighttime schedule is sufficient for the ridership who already use the once an hour service.Plus this is an MTA bus route, not NYCT bus route as the 3 examples you have already given. There is a different funding envelope here. The city is involved, rather than MTA. Please don't stone the messenger. The Q67 also runs hourly at night and for that matter all day weekends so the Q103 actually gets treated better. |

According to the MTA Board materials that will be presented this Monday, the Q103 is getting a frequency increase next pick to become every 30 minutes during middays. |

After all, I would guess the ridership on a Sunday morning at 10 o'clock (every half hour) should not be more frequent than 10 on a weekday morning (every hour).I also notice the MTA did increase weekday rush hour service. So now its about every 15 minutes during morning rush hours, 20 minutes in afternoon rush hours, up from every 30 minutes a few years ago. The number of new apartment buildings in what used to be a mostly industrial/warehouse area of Queens is amazing. |
