Posted by Osmosis Jones on Sun Apr 17 13:25:07 2022, in response to Why 2 Terminals for Q1?, posted by nh153 on Sun Apr 17 03:14:30 2022. The Legend BusMgr might be able to expound on this, but you have to remember that the Q88 is a relatively new route, and the Q27 only ran as far south as Horace Harding Expressway for many years (and only to Jamaica Avenue until the early 2000s as well), so I’d imagine that historically speaking, the Q1 was the only bus on that section of Springfield Boulevard for quite some time. I’d also guess that politics play a role in this as well, since obviously Jamaica would be the preferred destination for riders in that area of Springfield Boulevard over Flushing or Queens Center, and those riders understandably don’t want to give up their one-seat ride to Jamaica.That being said, now that the Q27 runs to Cambria Heights 24/7, I wonder why the Q83 hawk still goes to Queens Village instead of just ending at Springfield and Murdock? I fanned it twice going towards Jamaica out of curiosity, and both times, I was the only one on the bus until Murdock Avenue. |
