There is a lot more stuff which was posted here a month or so ago. Stuff on the subway side too, except it was published that the new tri-boro route would be called the B62, not the B2. |

[I imagine that the Q94 would follow the Q44 route to West Farms and then the BX9 route to Fordham Plaza.]In the mid-1990's, there was a proposal to extend the Q44 to Fordham Plaza. It would have used the current routing into East 177th Street, then left on East Tremont Avenue, right on Boston Road, left on Bronx Park South, into East 182nd Street, right on Arthur Avenue, left on East 184th Street, right on Third Avenue, left on East 189th Street, into the Fordham Plaza bus terminal. |

This B62 proposal really makes me question the thoughts of the MTA on the (G) train, the two Greenpoint stations on that line get a lot of ridership fro Manhattan-bound riders and it seems like that B62 is trying to take them away.I have no idea where that Q94 Limited came from, the Q44 Limited is not slow at all north of Flushing. |

Also i had heard rumors that there is plans for a route from fordham plaza to lga airport i wonder if the the ta would intergrate that plan with the Q94 plan. |

From my experience, the Q75 gets well-used at rush hours (when just about everything is well-used). I've even seen it go by along 188th with standees. Perhaps it should be a rush-hour, one direction special, and/or make it go somewhere other than Jamaica. Perhaps it can be kept on 73 Av past 188 St onto Jewel Av, and consolidated with the Q64, such that you can go from Queensborough College and Oakland Gardens, direct to Forest Hills, via 73 Av. Of course this requires collaboration between MTAB and NYCT. |

Except for one thing: the B2 runs all night and connecting bus service from subway stations to outlying areas is something that's sorely needed.Even between 1 AM and 5 AM? I thought late night service was discontinued on the B2 since the 1990 service cuts. |
