I noticed they moved the Q88 stop a few days ago. I bet it was due to the cars and taxis that would stand infront of the mall and prevent the bus from getting out of the bus stop. Almost every time the Q88 would leave it's old stop I'd hear it honking at the taxis or cars in front of it so it can pull out. Also since it's right at the intersection the driver can pull out once the light is green. There seems to be a problem with putting the stop there, and that's that the bus makes a left from the far right of the street, meanwhile the lane left of it goes straight, making it quite easy for a car to get sideswiped.

 

Anyway, nice catch with 666. I've yet to catch that at Bee-Line. I've seen 664, 665, 667, 668 and 669. Still that blur on the left side of your camera. I notice it doesn't blur as much when you zoom in. When you zoom in it comes out very clear and nice, so keep zooming in.

I thought it was to divide the two different Q88's in the morning, because the AM variation had severe problems since most were interlines from the 46 (coming up Queens Blvd) or from QV itself via the LIE. Although the Q88 to Francis Lewis Blvd doesn't have an official stop, most stop at the former Q88 full time stop.

 

See, before, the 88 terminated with the 38 at the stop as seem in the timetable below:

The current Q88 timetable doesn't show the AM part time Q88, but it's listed on the 2005 timetable as shown:

Now, that variation runs in the PM peak as well, to Elmhurst.

 

You have a point with all those damn taxis occupying the area. And lol at catching everything but 666 on the high 660's series.

 

Anyways, yeah, zooming in helps a lot. Thanks a lot.

Where was the prevost taken?

That Ghettohound was in white plains (across from the transit center)

Yeah, at the White Plains TransCenter.
