Posted by nh153 on Sun Mar 11 01:12:33 2018, in response to Re: History of the Q19A/Q69 and the Q101R/Q100, posted by italianstallion on Sat Mar 10 21:54:24 2018. I have a June 1996 Queens bus map and the Q101R is not on this map. The regular Q101 goes to Rikers and the Q19A is the only bus on 21st Street. So I guess the Q101R started after that date, unless the map failed to include the Q101R when it was published.In those days, Queens bus maps gave little info on private line buses. Their routes are included on the map but no info is included in the timetables. And when "Guide-A-Ride" maps and timetables became available at each bus stop, the private lines did not participate. You're right that the Q101R only had three stops, Queensboro Plaza, the Rikers Parking Lot (which is on the Queens mainland, before the bridge) and finally at Rikers Island Prison. It ran 24/7, just like the Q100 does today. Nobody had thought to make the Q101R do more than just serve Rikers Island. Also, the sentence >>>The Q101R was created in the 1980s, with the Q101 truncated to Hazen Street and 19th Avenue<<< might be better worded as >>>The Q101R was created in the late 1990s, with the Q101 terminating at Hazen Street and 19th Avenue, no longer serving Rikers Island.<<< |
