Why 2 Terminals for Q1? |

Posted by nh153 on Sun Apr 17 03:14:30 2022 The Q1 has two terminals. Half the buses run on Braddock Avenue to Jamaica Avenue. And half run on Springfield Boulevard to Jamaica Avenue. But other than rush hours, the Q1 is so infrequent that each branch only gets service every 30 to 40 minutes or more. Overnights it has loop service every hour.And unlike most other dual terminal routes like Q15/Q15A or Q20A/Q20B, the Q1 doesn't have designations for its two terminals. If you're standing at a bus stop on Hillside Avenue, you have to read the print on the bus sign to figure out if it's the Q1 bus you want or not. Shouldn't the Q1 just be a continuous loop route all the time? Outbound run on Braddock Avenue and inbound run on Springfield Boulevard with no idle time? You'd have to stay on the bus a little longer if you live near Braddock Avenue going inbound or if you live near Springfield Boulevard going outbound. But at least you'd have service with double the frequency. |
