Q35 (New York City bus)
[edit]- ... that in its early years, New York City's Q35 bus was considered unprofitable, despite charging a double fare for travel between two boroughs? Source: "Green Lines May Quit Riis Park Route". Wave of Long Island. Fultonhistory.com. August 5, 1937. p. 1.
- ALT1:... that New York City's Q35 bus route connects a college, a former airport, and several sections of a national recreation area? Sources: (1) Brooklyn bus map, (2) Queens bus map, (3) "Transportation and Access Improvements for the Jamaica Bay Unit of Gateway National Recreation Area" (download required). What I'm referring to specifically is Brooklyn College, Floyd Bennett Field, and Gateway National Recreation Area.

- @Epicgenius: New enough, long enough. Hook is interesting and cited (source 32 for ALT0, the above for ALT1). Quite the article on one bus route! Good pending QPQ. Raymie (t • c) 22:02, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
- Raymie, thanks for the review. I'll do one later today. epicgenius (talk) 13:00, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote ALT0, but I don't see anything about being double the subway fares in either source cited (footnotes 31 and 32). I'm not even sure what the Brooklyn Eagle page is doing there. Yoninah (talk) 23:52, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
- Yoninah, I reworded it. The second sentence already said that the fare to travel between borough was twice the fare to travel in the same borough. As for footnote 31, the relevant text is in the second to last column, and is a text about the establishment that the bus route. Specifically, the rate of fare shall be five cents from the Nostrand/Flatbush Avenues terminal to the Brooklyn side of the Marine Parkway bridge, and five cents from the Brooklyn side of the bridge to Riis Park. epicgenius (talk) 11:41, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
