There were like 8 back-to-back Q46 buses heading to Glen Oaks/Lake Success with nothing heading towards Kew Gardens for a long time. After half an hour of nothing, a lone bus shows up at Union Turnpike/Little Neck Parkway (where I was waiting) packed from Glen Oaks, which is rarely seen. Most of the the runs that are crush-loaded that early on from the terminal are coming from LIJ Medical Center. I have never seen close to 10 Q46 buses running neck and neck like that in the past 8 years I've taken this particular bus route. I had a similar issue today...20 minute wait in both directions on the 46 this afternoon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is always a 20-30 minute gap where no bus shows up. Same with the Q65 almost everyday around 10-11 AM. Usually there is a 20 minute gap with two buses coming together. During the spring semester last year, the Q65 was so delayed on such a frequent basis that I can count on one hand how many times I walked to the Q46, instead of waiting for the Q65 and then transferring. The other day the Q65 was delayed and I was waiting at my stop at around 10:45, and I got passed by a limited bus, which should have stopped running by me around 9:40 AM, with no local bus in sight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think around 2-3pm is when the traffic starts to pick up, school kids get out and the MTA doesn’t prepare itself to deal with it. I personally don’t like it when a regular bus stops at a stop near a school and has to pick up a ton of students, cause that just slows everything down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe all the 2017 XD60s they have are there for additional service. In LGA’s case the Q70 is being converted, as far as JFK the Q52 probably will have more service but I don’t know. All I know is before that a spare factor was almost non existent. The remaining 3 at JFK are slated to go to Flatbush.

I mean, there's hardly much they can do about it.....once it hits rush hour, virtually all of the C40LFs are out in service with the exception of those needing maintenance. Traffic isn't their fault, and that tends to be one of the leading causes of the gaps in service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Q65 in particular bunches at all times off day, including late night, when there is light traffic and light passenger loads.

Drives me nuts whenever I need to use it Same case with the Q25 however not so bad anymore especially the weekends and evenings. Yeah you still have gaps and bunched up buses on the weekends but I find when I need to use the Q25 it is not too bad. I remember a time when you could wait 30+ minutes because of missing buses or late buses. Most of my issues with the Q25/Q34 are during the weekday but a lot of the issues comes from traffic along Kissena Blvd in Flushing and Jamaica. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
