OK MTA. Let's begin with the borough of Queens:

Bus: Q10
FIVE differnt destinations for the SAME bus line? How do you spell "Piss away money"?
How about this?

Q7:
If you can't explain to me, honestly, why I have to stand at Crss Bay/Woodhaven Blvds. EVERY morning looking at and counting upward of EIGHT empty or half empty Q7's running by, CUT the number of busses along the route! You're wasting money on wasted gas!

Q10:
ONE Q10 line so passengers KNOW where the hell they're going to end up? Run it along the entire line, down Lefferts to JFK Central Terminal and that's that!
As for the other 4, Q10 lines? Dump 'em! IF you NEED another line, call it something else. NOT "Q10" and DON'T run it along the SAME route as the Q10.
Savings? Fewer busses. Fewer drivers being paid to be bored (and not arriving anywhere on time anwyay.)

Q21/41:
STOP DUPLICATING AGAIN! The Q41 run into Lindenwood is redundant.
Run the Q21 along Cross Bay Blvd. and NOT into Lindenwood.
Increase the service along the line and run it further north.

Q53 LIMITED:
PUT IN MORE STOPS ALONG CROSS BAY BLVD. so I don't have to stand there watching COMPLETELY EMPTY busses running past 160th Avenue every 5 minutes!

Now for the train:
The Rockaway Park Shuttle is defunct, excessive, redundant.
Run the C out to Lefferts. Run alternating A trains to Mott and B116th ALL THE WAY! If I'm not mistaken, this is the way it was before you mucked it all up anyway. The shuttle at Broad Channel is a farce. Obviously some kind of ploy to hire somebody who wanted a cushy job and somebody in the MTA created one.
