1) If you could start your own bus company, what would you name it?
Please include legal name and popular name

(eg. Green Bus Lines, Incorporated d/b/a Green Lines)


2) If your company operated an existing or defunct bus route, what would it be? Please note destinations and current operator

(eg. NYCT Q20 College Point <---> Jamaica)

As I responded to this question on BT-2 the first question is a no brainer. It has to be THE GOTHAM BUS COMPANY Each bus would have to have a fleet number, but in keeping with the spirit of the old Qnexions (sp?) I who put girls names over the entrance door, I would put Ralph, Norton, Alice,
Trixie, Mrs. Manicotti, Freddie Muller-----you get the idea.

As to the route, it would either be the most profitable one in existence or I would do marketing surveys to determine what area are underserved and perhaps start a completely new route.

Now, everyone is going to think I'd pick Green Bus Lines - WRONG!!!!

Ans. #1 Manhattan and Queens Bus Corporation d/b/a
Queens Boulevard Rapid Transit, operator

(those are two solid sounding names!).

Ans. #2 Q60 (now MTA Bus) 2nd. Avenue & 59th. St. Manhattan to
109the. Avenue and 157th. St. South Jamaica

I picked the Queens Boulevard line because it is (or was) one of the busiest and most profitable routes in Queens.

The "Gaza Bus Company"

Takeover Q65A, short trips, very heavy ridership. Low overhead costs as bus is constantly in service.

Er... with the demographics of the Q65A, do you think "Gaza" will fly?

I'd call my bus line either Hennessey Lines, Inc. or N-TWEEZY Transit, Inc.(NTI).

The Route(s) it would run on is the Y9, W5, W7, W20, and the BxM4C.(Beeline/Liberty Lines/WCDOT- Operator).

The buses would be painted in a Dominican Flag paint style, and I'd have low profile tires, with custom Lexani rims on
There would be a large flat panel tv on the back wall of the bus, they would be wifi compatable, with nite rider lights on the front of the buses. Oh, I forgot, they will have spoilers, and a custom exaust tip on them. I like to spice things up a little Very Happy

let me know wat you think!
