Posted by Snilcher on Tue Apr 19 00:06:25 2022, in response to Re: Why 2 Terminals for Q1?, posted by BusMgr on Mon Apr 18 20:01:48 2022. Thanks again to BusMgr for the amazingly in-depth reportage of Queens bus history.Another alternative to the Q1 double branching that I had thought of in the past was to eliminate the Q1 and replace it with an extension of the (then Q3A) Q83 Springfield Blvd. branch past the QV RR station, up Springfield to Hillside and Braddock to the current Q1 Braddock branch terminus. That would cover both Q1 branches, provide the one-seat ride to Jamaica, and allow for full-time coverage without looping. The only downside (outside of the fact that this would still be half of a double branch route, with the associated impact on headways) might be one with sociopolitical overtones in that eastern Queens riders might not be enthusiastic about a longer routing through Hollis to reach their destinations. In any case, the replacement of the Q83 with the Q27 along Springfield south of QV probably renders this idea irrelevant. |
