thread_title: Former route list

message: Message board thread about this renumbering. I have placed this here until the MTA makes the change offical. Ken S. 19:05, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  BQM1 to become BM5 

message: The title pretty much says all. I remember seeing this route on bus signs in green, and if I'm right, it operated (or still operates) in Manhattan. What happened to it, because I don't see it on the list. —Imdanumber1 (talk • contribs • email) 01:13, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Whatever happened to the X80? 

message: Wouldn't it make more sense to "name" these by AM peak direction? (Example: Queens to Manhattan)
(I realize that each section shows "peak" or "daily" service...but...)
Remember also, these routes were named with the "outer" borough as the prefix and with the "X" suffix way back when. (Example: Q51X)
Thanks for your consideration.

thread_title:   Naming of each "group" of express routes (and a missing route) 

message: Shouldn't the QBx1's wikitable be moved to List of bus routes in Queens, and just have the route added to the "Local" list of List of express and multi-borough bus routes in New_York_City, but also rename that "Local" section to "MTA New York City Bus and MTA Bus Company"? Note that numerous Bus Company routes are already (erroneously) listed under "New York City Bus" in that section. Also, please note in Talk:List_of_bus_routes_in_Queens, there is a negative entry in respect to what I'm asking. Please advise, as the QBx1 seems to be the only local route with a multi-borough prefix, but since the "first" prefix is "Q", shouldn't it be included primarily on the Queens routes page?

thread_title:  QBx1 question 

message: I've taken a bit of break for a while, and things have gotten sort of messy. The point is, something needs to be done to clean up the express bus table. The current table, looks like this:
Route	Service	Terminals                 	Terminals                          	Manhattanstreets traveled  	Staten Islandstreets traveled   	Notes/History

*Peak
*Reverse peak
*Midday
*Evening
*Saturday
*Sunday	Eltingville Transit Center	Midtown ManhattanCentral Park South	5 Avenue/6 Avenue, Broadway	Hylan Boulevard, Richmond Avenue	
*Some peak service begins/terminates at 23rd Street.
I would like to revise it to look like this:
Route                                                             	Terminals                                             	Terminals                 	via                                                                                                            	Notes/History
x1http://mta.info/nyct/bus/schedule/xpress/x001cur.pdf X1 schedule	Midtown ManhattanCentral Park South and Seventh Avenue	Eltingville Transit Center	In Manhattan: Sixth Avenue (NB) & Fifth Avenue, Broadway (SB)In Staten Island: Hylan Boulevard, Richmond Avenue	
*Daily service
*Some peak hour service terminates at 23rd Street
The new table would do away with the two separate column listing for the streets used along the route, and the service column, which could easily be replaced with something in the notes/history to the effect of "Daily service" as seen above, or something more fleshed out, like here.

message: I've seen pages like "QM1 (New York City bus)" and "BM5 (New York City bus)" just redirect to the specified bus numbers, but ones such as "X1 (New York City bus)" and "X17 (New York City bus)"(<-This route doesn't really exist along) does not redirect very well. Any fix possible? (Not mandatory, but those links helped me success at making specific local and express bus template. Thank You!)  —Preceding unsigned comment by "SimonOrJ"(U/T/C) added 03:28, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
