, Metropolitan Transportation Authority 2010 Service Changes In 2010, the MTA made service changes throughout the five boroughs. Nine routes in Northeast Queens were affected by these service changes. These routes were chosen for discontinuation, consolidation, or other adjustment for several reasons. These included duplication of service, low and declining ridership, and high operating costs. The service reductions allowed for a more efficient bus network to operate in Northeast Queens. Four services that were reduced or eliminated in 2010 have been restored. Figure 13. 2010 Northeast Queens Bus Map Q14 During the 2010 service reduction planning, the Q14 was initially proposed for discontinuation. The route previously provided local weekday and weekend bus service from Downtown Flushing to Whitestone via Union Street, Willets Point Boulevard, 149th Street, and 150th Street. In response to public input, instead of full discontinuation, it was consolidated into a restructured Q15. The Q14 was renamed the Q15A and shares the Q15 terminals, but runs along 150th Street and 7th Avenue in Whitestone as the Q14 did. The Q15A also travels on Clintonville Street and 10th Avenue, two streets that previously did not have Q14 bus service, before rejoining the Q15 on 154th Street. Although bus service on 149th Street is no longer available, customers can walk one block east to 150th Street for more frequent Q15 and Q15A bus service, or two blocks west for the Q20A, Q20B, or Q44. Ridership on the Q15/Q15A has increased since 2010, but levels are 15
