The Q60 is good mostly for short-distance rides along Queens Blvd that make it less feasible to go through the trouble of going downstairs for the subway. It thrives off of stopping at places that the subway doesn't, and so probably wouldn't do as well with an express option that would bypass those places.You'll notice that lots of stops for express bus routes (to Manhattan) are often located where the homes are and would have no problem bypassing major intersections. For example, the QM6 along Union Tpke bypasses Springfield Blvd as well as Francis Lewis Blvd, even though it stops elsewhere near those points and even though they are transfer points between local buses. They know that the places where people would want the bus are probably at the "in-between" spots. Or if you're like me you would use the Q60 as part of an overall plan to save a free subway transfer for later after running errands or hanging out at the transfer point. (For example, park the car in Kew Gardens or Briarwood, take the Q60 to Forest Hills or Elmhurst for errands, then free transfer to subway for Manhattan). |
