With the various LED colors that the buses are displaying it’s a shame the same can’t be done with the route colors on the NTTs. |

Very nice pics!Side note. Must say the SBS Q70 was a genius idea. As someone who flies out of LGA most times I fly it is a godsend. I would probably continue to take it after PA create that out of the way LGA Air Transit. |

Just gotta hope for no accident on the BQE.Anybody ever see the Q70 divert around such accidents yet? Any interesting routes? |

I would hope not but possible I suppose. However at the very least I could def see em just cutting the busses to just stopping at the B terminal. |

I would say yes. The LGA is another one of Prince Andrews' pet projects and he would want as high ridership as possible to make him look good.Any passenger siphoned off by the Q70 will no do the above. |

They tend to use regular streets. One popular one is getting off at 94 Street, then using the service road, 82 Street, Astoria Boulevard, 80 Street, 31 Avenue, and 75 Street towards Roosevelt Avenue. I'm pretty sure there is a northbound alternative too, but I have never seen it happen, so IDK what it would be. |

I would settle for replacing the LCDs on the 142s with LEDs, even single color.I'm annoyed the R188 program didn't at least replace the signs. |

The Q10LTD does not get on any limited access highways like the Q70, whose sole purpose for existence is LGA. LTD simply means it does not make every stop. It's purpose is also to get people to the Queens Blvd subway quicker. |

R188 sings would be all purple anyway. They don't need to vary the colors. What would it take to simply convert Red to Purple ? |

There's the $2 solution: tint the glass in front of the red LED sign such that it appears purple.My comment was more for the side signs, the LCD ones look good when new buy turn into an unreadable fugly mess after a few years. |

Isn't the LED color determined by the frequency, pulse, wavelength, or whatever of the electrical supply ?The CTA Evanston Line with its 5K cars is coded Purple. |

The Limited actually came about after AirTrain (2006). The Q10A then went out. The Q10A ran so little that I'd say this change would have happened with the MTA takeover with or without AirTrain. |
