New York City MTA pushes for the first overhaul of Queens bus routes since they were drawn up in the 1950s along old trolley routes that were discontinued

The agency proposes creating 15 new routes in the borough, eliminating 10 existing ones and tweaking dozens of others. Officials said the changes would mean another 200,000 riders in the borough would wait no longer than 10 minutes for a bus between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. on weekdays.

The plan also reduces the number of bus stops in Queens. The MTA said fewer stops leads to faster service, and noted 83% of riders would continue to use the same stop.
