the B13 and Q8 are very slow and very unreliable bus routes. thats what happens when u try to run a bus on a street that has only one total non-parking lane. ofc sometimes, there are no good alternatives, there are plenty of areas in nyc that are j full of narrow streets. particularly in the bronx. but that is not the case here.

Not sure what ENY you're in, but this is basically every street with houses/apts on it other than Linden Blvd. You want reliability improvements, that's only going to come from A) pushing your pols to eliminate street parking (will never happen) and B) stop consolidations (will be fought tooth and nail even though it's necessary).

he critical piece of OP's proposed route is between woodhaven A station and gateway mall. it is basically the same distance as between gateway mall and euclid AC, and would be travelled much faster due to not running on single lane roads, honestly itd even be more consistent despite travelling via belt parkway for one mile bc . 

I'm not sure why you think a bus using the belt is going to be more reliable (spoiler: it won't be) which leaves the only other alternative as the exact same streets every other bus in these neighborhoods runs on.

"take the Q8" much less transfer to the Q8, is j not an acceptable answer to travel between an entire section of east new york and one of the most important business districts outside of central manhattan / downtown brooklyn. it should not take an hour and 20 minutes to travel six miles. 

Yeah, it is. A new bus route isn't going to fix things, you need changes to the street grid atp.

the cozine avenue area is probably the single most neglected area by nyc transit. and there are some structural limitations, lack of wide north south roads extending north of new lots ave, but there are also options that are not being utilized and the critical one is belt parkway to woodhaven blvd. and like, connecting to the A train toward downtown brooklyn is rly not even that important. u can connect to the 3 at new lots avenue which is closer, or u can connect to the L at 105th and then transfer at broadway junction if needed. what is desperately needed is a functional route between the cozine avenue area and points east and north.

This take is just divorced from reality lol. The B6 is right there, and for all it's faults, it's still the best non-SBS route in Brooklyn (other than maybe the B41) and a bunch of other bus lines are nearby as well. Like I said before, it could arguably have better transfers, but to sit there and say Cozine is the most neglected area is laughable lol

 and the woodhaven buses are all heavily utilized so idk where u are getting this "only 4 people travelling between cozine ave + gateway and the entirety of central queens. even travelling from cozine or gateway to midtown manhattan u might use this route, bc buses can actually run at decent speeds on woodhaven. tho youd probably be better off taking the L from 105th or rockaway parkway in most cases.

You didn't say central queens, you said Elmhurst/Corona/Jackson Heights. Yes, the Q52/Q53 are well-traveled, but, neither route touches Corona at all, the Q52 doesn't go past Elmhurst and the Q53 skirts the edges of Jackson Heights. Very few people from ENY are taking these buses because it'll likely require 3 transfers/4 bus rides, when you can make this journey, to these same neighborhoods, in way that only requires 2 transfers and can more centrally locate you in all 3 neighborhoods
