College Point runs suburban O5s on all of its local lines pretty good these days.

Some of them are running local on either the B100 or B103.

I usually seem them on the Q101, Q102, Q103, Q104, and QBx1. On a side note I realized that now the Q79 only uses RTS Suburbans, I guess it's to coax riders onto the largely ignored route.

I got one from the summer of 07, right before I left for M.A. Not the best, because I was focusing on the QM11 that was supposed to come in a few minutes.

On high ridership routes, yes they are and the MTA tries to avoid putting them on those routes, on low use routes however they're perfect as they seat riders comfortably, and kind of coax pedestrians seeing the suburbans on the route into riding the route.

How many of them are there, I see them at times but not as often I as can. I rode it once and agree it is bad when crowded, but it was an interesting ride.
