, Metropolitan Transportation Authority Express Bus Boardings Express bus ridership (by boardings) is concentrated along Union Turnpike, 188 th Street, 73 rd Avenue, Jewel Avenue in the southern section of Northeast Queens, and in Beechhurst, Bay Terrace, and Whitestone neighborhoods in the northern section of the study area. Lower ridership (by boardings) is seen on corridors that are adjacent to the subway and Long Island Rail Road. Only boarding location data is included because of the Manhattan‐bound orientation of express bus service. Northeast Queens residents board express buses going to Manhattan, but passengers do not exit the bus until they reach Manhattan. Exceptions to this rule are allowed for special transfer locations such as Union Turnpike for transfers among the midtown QM1, QM5, and QM6 and the downtown QM7 and QM8 buses, or between the 3 rd Avenue and 6 th Avenue variations of these midtown buses.

, Metropolitan Transportation Authority Origins and Destinations The data that have become available since the implementation of Bus Time have allowed the MTA to estimate the origins and destinations of bus passengers by capturing MetroCard swipe location details throughout the day. The data presented here represent the daily ridership for an average mid‐week weekday (Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday) – or an average Saturday – from the period covering mid‐ September to mid‐October 2013. The origin‐destination analysis can help to identify where Northeast Queens bus customers are traveling along a particular route. These data can also show which bus routes are being used in areas with multiple buses. Figure 18 shows the origins and destinations of bus customers through the visualization of the major interand intra‐neighborhood movements of Northeast Queens bus passengers. Neighborhood names and boundaries are consistent with the neighborhoods defined as “Neighborhood Tabulation Areas” by the Department of City Planning. Single bus trips (not complete path of a bus‐to‐bus transfer) are shown as movements to and from Northeast Queens neighborhoods. Any neighborhood links that had greater than 1,000 daily weekday passengers are presented on the map, with the line thickness indicating the importance of serving those two destinations. Figure 18. Origins and Destinations of Northeast Queens Bus Trips by Neighborhood The underlying data that produced this visualization can be found in a standard Origin‐Destination matrix located in Appendix C: Additional Data. 33
