 * "and in the peak-direction during the PM rush hour." Which is...?
 * Q46 locals terminate at Springfield Boulevard, while limiteds alternate between Glen Oaks of LIJ." Or LIJ
 * "eastbound Q46 locals terminate in Glen Oaks, while eastbound Q46 limiteds terminated at LIJ" They used to?  Or still do?  Whole section could use a copyedit.
 * "North Shore Bus was taken over by the Board of Transportation because of its bankruptcy" Its is ambigious in a sentence with two antecedents.
 * From the infobox, "Daily ridership 	6,594,164 (2014)[2]" Um... no.
 * "before ost other streets" Copyedit here, too.
 * "Limited-stop service began on April 18, 1977 with the perception that it would attract new riders to the route." Perception is likely not the word you want here.
 * "Along with the M15, the two routes became the first to use limited service in the city." Source?
 * "peak-direction during the PM rush hour." Again, don't make us guess which is "peak"
 * "The express Q44As were also intended to compete with privately owned expresses buses operated by Queens Surface–travel times were 20 minutes shorter and the fare was $5 less" What?  Just how expensive were those private buses?  5 bucks was a ton of money back then...

 * "which made the first city route" Which made it the...
 * " "  Kill the cite template, it throws red errors.

 * Don't use all-caps in references just because you're copy and pasting. See refs 5, 10, 12, 14, 17, and 30.
 * No bare URL's as citations, ref 25
 * Ref 20 needs a better citation
 * Ref 20. Needs publisher, ISBN, proof of reliability, not just a point to a useless Google Books page with no info. Courcelles (talk) 00:33, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
 * It isn't useless. By typing in phrases, I got several pages worth of information.

 * As explained on my talk page (and just putting here for the record) I was inpatient in a hospital for most of the delay, for which I apologize. Courcelles (talk) 18:40, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
