Starting review. --Truflip99 (talk) 20:18, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Not entirely sure what's up with the Fulton History website, but none of the links are working. Could be down. Will check back later. --Truflip99 (talk) 00:27, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that happens sometimes. It may be unavailable due to high traffic, or due to server trouble. epicgenius (talk) 23:40, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Comments:


 * Under Route description, too many refs at the end of each paragraph. Might want to spread them out.
 * I combined them. epicgenius (talk) 22:53, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Move the first source under History section to the end of the sentence
 * Done
 * Ref 19 and 20 appear to be duplicates. If they are not, differentiate them.
 * Done, differentiated
 * CE (I suggest finding another user to review and make edits, perhaps GOCE (let me know if you decide to take this route so I can put this review on hold)):
 * The proposed route was numbered as the Q75 . The proposal and was submitted to the New York City Board of Transportation on March 20, 1951.
 * Originally[comma] the Q65A bus traveled east on Jewel Avenue all the way to 164th Street
 * Queens-Nassau would become became the Queens Transit Corporation in 1957.
 * Service on the QM4 began on August 16, 1971 being operated by Queens Transit Corporation.
 * Done, and also rephrased some other paragraphs. epicgenius (talk) 22:53, 16 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Could be expanded upon per what's stated in the source (answer why?)
 * It also opposed the 75th Avenue terminus, as 75th Avenue is a local station.
 * Done, though you don't need to look at the source. 75th Avenue only serves local trains, and 71st Avenue and Union Turnpike both serve local and express trains. epicgenius (talk) 22:53, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
 * The change was met with resentment from the local community due to the opening of Public School 200 at 164th Street and 71st Avenue.--Truflip99 (talk) 22:12, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Done. epicgenius (talk) 22:53, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

More comments:

Looks good for the most part. I think I'll be satisfied after the following changes:


 * The route was not originally given a number, and was instead called the Jewel Avenue–Flushing/Hillcrest Express.
 * Done--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 19:17, 17 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Originally some buses started at Kissena Boulevard instead of at the Long Island Expressway.
 * Done--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 19:17, 17 September 2018 (UTC)


 * On February 27, 2005, the MTA Bus Company took over the operations of the Queens Surface routes as part of the city's takeover of all the remaining privately operated bus routes.
 * Done--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 19:17, 17 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Until 2010, the Q64 operated out of College Point Depot (the former Queens Surface garage), but has since then it has been operating out of the Baisley Park Depot (the former Jamaica Buses facility) in South Jamaica.
 * Done--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 19:17, 17 September 2018 (UTC)


 * On September 8, 2013, overnight service was added making the Q64 a 24/7 bus route and eliminating the gap in service between 2:30 and 4:00 AM. --Truflip99 (talk) 14:45, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
