Posted by AMoreira81 on Tue May 31 01:12:11 2011, in response to Re: Bus Map History #3: ''QUEENS Bus Guide'' map - 1975 (PDF file), posted by D to E to Jamaica on Mon May 30 23:14:56 2011. The N20 did not exist until the expansion of service in 1982. Until then, the short-turns ended at the Roslyn RR. There probably was little demand for transit to the colleges between Roslyn and Hicksville.As for the head exploding---there was a Q44MB at one time (probably a rush-hour only route). I wonder if there was interlining between the Q44A and Q44VP. As for the N5, it probably followed the N1 east of Central Avenue into Green Acres Mall, and then down to Grant Park in Hewlett. Until the Q5 and Q85 were extended to run to Green Acres, the N5 was very relevant. I have to wonder if the extensions on the Q5 and Q85 and the discontinuance of the N5 were done at the same time. This may have been the last map before the 168 Street station (J) closed, reducing the importance of the 165 Street terminal. The Q5S eventually became the Q86 before being discontinued. I wonder if the Q5S and Q5ALS were rush-hour services only. Can't explain the Q10 situation, but you should also look at the Q111/113---especially with respect to a Q113 routing that is going to be semi-restored come summer, because Brookville Boulevard did not extend through swampy areas yet. Springfield Boulevard itself had been closed through that area because of frequent flooding; its southern end was where a distribution center is today. |
