MTA Routes Cut During The 2010 Budget Cuts

In this video I go over the route service changes and eliminations that took place on June 27th, 2010 due to MTA facing budget cuts. During this day not only were a lot of bus routes impacted by this but this resulted the elimination of the Brown M, V and W subway trains, the W train is now back as of today. A lot of jobs were lost due to these cuts along with a bus depot closing down. Credit goes to the rightful owners who took the photos seen in this video.

For such a young creator you put in tons of work and are leaving a historical record.👍👍

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback! I worked tirelessly on this video for 2 days straight!

[@barrybshrekson864]

So glad they didnt go thru with the q84 cut since i lived off it for 9 years and the next nearest bus was the q5/q85

[@elizabethbobbio2601]

When the B37 got discontinued and replace with B70 Bus 11 years ago was a nightmare for me.

[@dodge1515]

Atleast the B37 was one of the few routes that eventually returned (like the B39 and n87, although the n87 was discontinued again in 2014 and haven't returned since...)

[@WestchesterXBeeline]

Nice video, Neil!

[@Jaytherailfan]

Great video man!

[@ronanmc_trainz]

First, and I loved that u included the MTA routes

[@ultrafan7889]

Great video, the fact that some of these cuts still affect riders today is crazy, the N94 was actually the only bus service in my area, unfortunately now since that's gone now I have to have a 50 minute walk to the Hicksville LIRR station for the nearest transportation. I really think NICE should consider bringing that route back, it served the Plainview Shopping Centre, the Syosset-Woodbury Industrial Parks and the medical offices in the Syosset-Woodbury-Hicksville-Plainview area, it only ran during rush hours but it would be a game changer for many people and if it ran full time would also be an alternative to the n79 at least for the industrial parks along Sunnyside Blvd/Woodbury Road. Perhaps NICE could bring it back as a mini route.

[@NeilQVLGA6455]

I think I heard NICE may implement a MINI line up in Syosset, Woodbury, Plainview, around that area soon, I hope that happens. As for me, I have to walk 30 minutes to my closest bus stop, and yes I do live next to the LIRR, but if I need to go somewhere near by, I would take the n81, I really wish that route came back.

[@ultrafan7889]

@@NeilQVLGA6455 yea honestly by this point I would prefer the n81 returning than having the n80, I feel the n81 is better being that it serves Bethpage LIRR and other areas that don't really have nearby transportation, and tbh while they're probably keeping the n80 because it serves Route 107 most of the time it's only carrying 5-10 riders per run as I've seen, in fact I got on at S. Oyster Bay Road near Route 107 and I was the only one on the bus until Hempstead Turnpike lol but obviously if they could have both they would be great but if the budget is too tight bring back the n81 and cut the n80, also they definitely need to bring back the n72 to Babylon, important intra-island route and not a lot of alternatives where it was cut.

[@NeilQVLGA6455]

I just now realized I forgot to reply to this comment… no biggie, anywho… There is a lot of things that need to change with the routes, you’ve already mentioned some things NICE should consider bringing back such as the n72 to Babylon, that would be very useful for me because I don’t want to travel all the way to either Jamaica or the South Shore just to get to Babylon, this would be a game changer for people living in the middle of the island! Because of this, I believe that the n72 should operate hourly service during overnights. n19 definitely should be restored to Babylon, of course the n81 and N94(or at least part of it if not the full thing) should be restored and a whole bunch of other routes that should either be restored, rerouted, create brand new routes that would be reliable or have service improvements, there’s so many things I can think of.

Video Recommendation: 1995 MTA Service Cuts

[@NeilQVLGA6455]

I’m not sure if I want to do a video about that yet as I don’t have much knowledge about the 1995 cuts.

[@dodge1515]

@@NeilQVLGA6455 That round of cuts resulted in the creation of the current B43 bus. They combined earlier incarations of the B47 and B62 into the B43. Also, the B10 was renamed the current B15. I believe an older version of the B15 at the time was renumbered to the now former B51. Not sure what else happened back then.

[@xpdev0]

The X83 needs to return It's essentially a backup for those that want to go to Yankee Stadium without really needing the 4, B or D, acting as a shuttle bus when needed if something goes wrong for these lines

[@javie2064]

The M27 was replaced by the M34A in some parts for those who don’t know

[@NeilQVLGA6455]

The M16(present day M34A) never replaced the M27, the M27 was never replaced by anything matter of fact, it was mostly parallel to the M50 between 1st-8th Avenues.

[@muni_Thomas_boi]

This is something similar to what happened to San Francisco's transit system Muni this happened in 2009 and it's basically the exact same thing that happened to your guys's budget cuts

[@NeilQVLGA6455]

Wow, I never knew that

[@nycli376]

Bring back the B23, B51, B71, B75 and B77. But Bring back the B51 Bus back at Jackie Gleason Depot and go to Coney Island Stillwell Avenue and City Hall via Manhattan Bridge and run Flatbush Avenue and 4th Avenue even Prospect Expressway to and from Coney Island. Especially use XN60.

[@stephaniewensler6332]

Unpopular fact: Their also used to be a QM28 as well. The QM28 is currently the QM3 except the QM28 used to have two routes. One between Little Neck and downtown Manhattan and the other between Little Neck and 6th Avenue. The downtown Manhattan bound was eliminated due to low ridership but the 6th Avenue one remained and was later relabled to the current QM3

[@NeilQVLGA6455]

The QM28 was never even a thing, you probably got that piece of information off a fandom page made by foamers who make stuff up and state it as facts…

[@stephaniewensler6332]

@@NeilQVLGA6455 It's actually on wikipedia and it was indeed a thing

The Q74 may return in the bus redesign but as a leg of the Q20

The original routing of the Q74 will not be restored by any of the new routes for the Queens Bus Redesign.

Yeah I miss the old bus routes I just wish they bring them all back with the new bus routes even the ones in long island.

I do wish majority of the bus routes that were cut under Long Island Bus and NICE were restored as well, one of my home routes got cut back in 2017.

rip the qm22 i never lived to see it plus i can't even find images of its existence online

[@NeilQVLGA6455]

I think I might have actually seen the QM22 once or a few times back then, I used to visit Jackson Heights very frequently back in the day when I used to live in Elmhurst. While working on this video, I was also struggling to find images of the QM22, no one even did codebreaks of it, and sadly the codes for the QM22 no longer exist as of like 2011.

[@nebthelimical]

@@NeilQVLGA6455 that is pretty sad though, as i still live around the area qm22 was near

[@nebthelimical]

fun fact almost a year later i found a 1999 depot tour video and it scrolls on the qm22 code but its on an older bus

[@NeilQVLGA6455]

@limicalcze 👀

[@nebthelimical]

look up 1999 NYC Bus Depot Tour because youtube deletes links in the video at 17 minutes and 30 seconds they start showing the codes on a bus. wait a bit then it should show qm22 and qm22w which ive never heard of at all

They Should bring Q75,Q79,B51 and make G train Being extended to Forest Hills, also make the M train Brown again,Q89 bus Eliminated Q114 bus and have Q77 bus or Q85 being extended to Far Rockaway.

[@NeilQVLGA6455]

Well I don’t know if you watched the full video but some of the routes you mentioned such as the Q79, the G train (east of LIC) and the Brown M train have already been restored by different routes. The Q77 and Q85 serve no purpose of servicing Far Rockaway.

@@Clucky04 The B77 was a short ass route that covered like 10 blocks. lol I never rode it back in the day, but I remember seeing those buses every now and then when I was in Park Slope. I can't remember if it even had weekend service (it might have been rushhours only as people could (at the time) hop on the nearby B75 bus)...
