Green Bus was the absolute worst towards the end (early 00s): Unprofessional drivers, rickety buses (even newer ones that were less than 10 years old at the time like the Orion Vs), and service that you could count on not being able to count on lol. I really wondered how it lasted for so many decades.Over time I learned to love to hate it though, and even adapted to its mediocrity. On paper, the fastest way to get to South Ozone Park was to take the LIRR to the Q9, but since the only route through South Ozone Park that Green Bus seemed to care about was the Q10 (Green Bus was a private company, the Q10 was and still is a cash cow, and the Q10 is one of the first impressions of the city for many tourists, so can't blame them for that), I learned that the best way to go was the (A) train to the Q10, and kept doing that well into the MTA Bus takeover until the MTA made the Q7 and Q9 somewhat more usable. |
