Question For the QM5 to GLEN OAKS 260 ST via FRESH MEADOWS

I’m a little confused on where to wait for this bus in Manhattan. In the following link: https://new.mta.info/document/14376 it says that I can wait at 6 AVE and 36th street, but I don’t see a bus stop there? Do they mean wait at 6 AVE and 37th street bus stop instead? Does the express bus even pick up at 37th street? I plan on going to and from Manhattan soon and don’t want the express bus to miss me cause of this.

Thank you!

Why doesn't "some" Q44 run on Union via Northern like the normal route, but instead enter and run on Parsons via Northern?

I'm not sure if this happens often because I've only experienced it once.

Why are some XD60s from Casey Stengel parked at Union St and Parsons Bl (the stop for Q13 and Q28)?

Every time I pass by there I see some XD60 parked there so I’m curious

Edit: I mean Northern Bl and Parsons Bl

BRT - Why is signal priority not available for SBS routes in NYC?

I find the crosstowns in Manhattan that have been made into Select Bus to still be unbearably slow and always miss the lights. Why hasn't signal priority been enabled for these routes? Pay before boarding has helped a little but those doors are so small it still takes time. Waiting at 10 lights at 2 minutes a piece adds up..

MTA needs a missed bus run fare refund scheme

Especially on SI where MTA really only has one job - making bus service.

S52 at the ferry doesn’t show up for two boats and my transfer expires, and now I gotta pay. Wasn’t my fault that the transfer expired when I’m posted right under their bus stop sign waiting for their bus to show up.

It should be a refundable fare - especially since they can tell when their buses aren’t showing up.

QM5 and QM6 route

QM5 and QM6 are meant to go eastbound to Queens over the Queensborough bridge, according to the route on the bus stop and the MTA map. But they always go through the Midtown tunnel instead, at least when I take them in the mornings. Why is that?

Why do buses leave earlier than scheduled time?

My Bx bus consistently always leaves 5-10 minutes earlier than the scheduled time. How am I supposed to anticipate these earlier departures?

What happens is that I will wait for the bus at the scheduled time but it had already left prior to me waiting

How can we expand the express bus network? I think Bronx to Queens / Brooklyn would be good routes

B62 bus right now.

This is insane. 8 buses bunched all together. Had to go to radio bakery and the draw bridge was lifted up for like 20 min. Never could imagine 8 buses like this. Had to walk to the g train at 21st instead ugh. But at least I got my foccacia n onion croissant 🥐

Limited buses

There should be some rules when it comes to the limited buses if it’s raining outside or snowing, they should be mandatory to stop at the bus stop that people are waiting at. not just passed them by that shit is rude. We pay our taxes. Our money goes to this shit and they can’t even stop when the weather is bad to pick up people

Maybe the MTA could solve the OMNY reader issue with eagle teams by adding an OMNY reader on these ? Or make something similar ?

Q103 bus

Had to go to Costco last night right at closing to pick up something and decided to wait for the q103 bus heading back towards the 7 train.

Question is: once it got to the f train everyone got off and I was the only one on board. The bus was fast however it passed through the con Ed plant which looked like a creepers paradise instead.

If they extended this bus across the drawbridge to green-point/WB .. and had longer operating hours.. instead of 9pm last bus during the week.. winning situation for all?!!?

Is this bus even popular during rush hour? I never see it with peeps. Maybe once when I got on at 21st going to astoria . This bus goes to Costco / Noguchi museum/ connects to the 7 and the f train etc. If the 7 ever failed randomly.. the bus would come in clutch if it ran more frequently…
