![]() However, I've seen more buses w/ standees ( and on the other side of the coin, less packed buses as well) on QM17's. From what I've long noticed, the (PM) loads on QM16 trips/per trip are more consistent. If they're gonna add more than just that stop on 63rd, there's gonna be standees - Don't even have to hesitate about that. They might as well run the QM16/QM17/QM15/BM5 every 4 hours outside rush (hope no one took that seriously). I honestly don know whats gonna happen, but it better not be a situation where youre gonna have standees. The QM15 might be a 20 minute headway route, and the BM5/QM16/QM17 might be adjusted to coinside with the current QM15 schedule. Since every bus but the QM15 that make stops on Woodhaven Blvd runs every 20 minutes at rush, that may be the case. and If you do, inform us if you get any more information about this whole thing. Although the stats support that QM16/17's are well used, I highly doubt this is about increasing ridership. I have noticed that on too many occasions when I used to take QM16's after work (I was afraid the MTA would eventually catch on to that). I don't know about the AM, but during the PM, it's not uncommon to see back to back QM15's. I do not think for one second the MTA added that stop on 63rd solely because enough riders requested it. to where service on the QM15/16/17 are more spread out (meaning, more riders per bus on the QM15 & having QM16's/17's making a few more stops). Not by getting rid of the QM15 outright, but by cutting the amount of QM15 trips during peak hrs. I'm thinking the MTA will find a way to consolidate express service overall along Woodhaven || Cross Bay. ![]() (I've heard on the QM16) that oppose it to the ppl. actually want/wanted buses to stop along Woodhaven (I don't know about QM17 riders in-particular). The (actual) reason for the additional stop on 63rd, I don't know. Nothing was said about the amount of stops or where stops would be added. The talks I overheard b/w driver || passenger & b/w other passengers on a couple QM16's I've been on ( since the stops were added on the BM5) were only regarding the addition of stops on Woodhaven in general. How many stops you hear they will add and why do you think they want to add these stops
