It became X23 c.1976 (and was merged with Avenue B & East Broadway's M-7 express bus in 1980), and then X90 in 1988. It was one of many routes eliminated on June 27, 2010 due to across-the-board service cutbacks. |

I wonder what they used on QM16 in those days.I never knew about that bus until the takeover. And it's down the block from my house. I would have began using it in 1999 if I knew. |

I can only presume A/C Fishbowls would have been used at the onset.And there was the matter of MaBSTOA branding its Elmhurst Crosstown route QM16 from early 1973 to mid-1974, before renumbering it Q89. (And its only connection to Manhattan was being assigned out of 54th Street depot.) |

I know in '78 when i first knew about the QM17, they used GMC 5309s (the 300 series). They didn't have the route number on the rollsigns until they started using the Grummans. |

You sure those buses Green used for their express runs weren't 5307's? 5309's were unique to the TA and MaBSTOA, as were the express-bus 5310's. |

All I know is that they had the tailpipe towards the top of the bus and they were in the 300 series. There were two sets-from around 301~310 and 35x~36x. There was a third set of 5307s (or 09s) numbered in the 100 series. |
