Any reactions to fact the Q21 is now extended to Queens Center Mall? Here press statement.
Q21 AND Q11 CUSTOMERS EFFECTIVE SUNDAY, AUGUST 31, 2008
The northern terminus of the Q21 will be extended to Elmhurst (Woodhaven Blvd RVG subway station) to provide direct local bus service between Rockaway Park, Lindenwood, and the entire Cross Bay Boulevard/ Woodhaven Boulevard corridor.
The extended Q21 will be merged with the Q11, using the same travel path, and stopping at all of the same local bus stops as the Q11 between Pitkin Avenue in Ozone Park, and Elmhurst. Current Q11 customers may use either the Q11 or Q21 between Ozone Park and Elmhurst. New combined Q11/Q21 public timetables will be issued (dated Fall 2008) to replace the currently separate timetables.
Most current Q21 bus stops will remain unchanged, with the following exceptions: (1) The current southbound bus stop on Cross Bay Boulevard at Liberty Avenue will be relocated to the north side of Liberty Avenue at the current Q11, Q53 and QM15 bus stop. (2) The recently established last and first stops in Ozone Park at Liberty Avenue and Rockaway Boulevard will be discontinued to allow the Q21 to remain on Cross Bay Boulevard, use the bus stops on Cross Bay Boulevard at Liberty Avenue instead.
Q21 service operates every 30 minutes. Toward Elmhurst the Q21 will operate from 5:30 AM to 8:30 PM on weekdays, and 6 AM to 8:30 PM on Saturdays and Sundays. Toward Rockaway Park the Q21 will operate from 6:30 AM to 9:40 PM on weekdays, and 7:10 AM to 9:40 PM on Saturdays and Sundays.
Please note that the Q53 during late evenings when Q21 is not running now makes all Local Stops Between Rockaway Park/Beach 116th Street and Cross Bay Blvd/164th Avenue.

yes the q41 is a vital line it connects lindenwood with downtown jamica and runs that a very busy crossbay and then 111 ave is busy and so is 127st they are not putting enough buses on the q41 The Q41 Imo should cut zip zag and the zillion turns it makes in south ozone park as that would elimante a crucial 10 minute in travel time. Easy solution: Swap the Q41 and Q112 at the western end... - Cut the Q41 back to Liberty/Woodhaven; - Send the Q112 through Lindenwood.
An excellent idea. Plus Lindenwood would still have a direct 1 seat ride to/from Downtown Jamaica. However i still believe a first priority should be a direct 1-bus line between at least Cypress Hill(euclid ave)and Jamaica on Liberty though.
