  • "and in the peak-direction during the PM rush hour." Which is...?

 Done

  • Q46 locals terminate at Springfield Boulevard, while limiteds alternate between Glen Oaks of LIJ." Or LIJ

 Done

  • "eastbound Q46 locals terminate in Glen Oaks, while eastbound Q46 limiteds terminated at LIJ" They used to? Or still do? Whole section could use a copyedit.

 Done–Section copyedited.

  • "North Shore Bus was taken over by the Board of Transportation because of its bankruptcy" Its is ambigious in a sentence with two antecedents.

 Done

  • From the infobox, "Daily ridership 6,594,164 (2014)[2]" Um... no.

 Done That was an issue on all the NYC bus pages. Thanks for finding it. Noone else found that one.

  • "before ost other streets" Copyedit here, too.

 Done

  • "Limited-stop service began on April 18, 1977 with the perception that it would attract new riders to the route." Perception is likely not the word you want here.

 Done

  • "Along with the M15, the two routes became the first to use limited service in the city." Source?

 Done

  • "peak-direction during the PM rush hour." Again, don't make us guess which is "peak"

 Done

  • "The express Q44As were also intended to compete with privately owned expresses buses operated by Queens Surface–travel times were 20 minutes shorter and the fare was $5 less" What? Just how expensive were those private buses? 5 bucks was a ton of money back then...
  • "which made the first city route" Which made it the...

 Done

  • "{{cite web|title=Service to Glen Oaks operates weekdays only}}" Kill the cite template, it throws red errors.
  • Don't use all-caps in references just because you're copy and pasting. See refs 5, 10, 12, 14, 17, and 30.

 Done

  • No bare URL's as citations, ref 25

 Done

  • Ref 20 needs a better citation

Which reference are you referring to?--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 00:27, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ref 20. Needs publisher, ISBN, proof of reliability, not just a point to a useless Google Books page with no info. Courcelles (talk) 00:33, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It isn't useless. By typing in phrases, I got several pages worth of information.

--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 00:51, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/005778122 It is from the ASCE which is credible, and this is cited by the US DOT. https://archive.org/stream/transportations8249urbi_0#page/n1/mode/2up

  • As explained on my talk page (and just putting here for the record) I was inpatient in a hospital for most of the delay, for which I apologize. Courcelles (talk) 18:40, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
