Jamaica Center Bus Terminal

My first time writing a bus review so hear it is.
The MTA could be bitter and sweet.
Here are my two reasons that the MTA is great.
1. Gets you every where. All the 5 boroughs. Which is a benefit.
2. It does save you money because let’s face it. In my opinion with all the traffic, city tickets and keeping you car in good shape cost an arm and a leg.
Now here is the bitter side
1. Metro card prices is a pain in the butt. Why pay more and some of the buses don’t come on time. I can understand if the come 5 to 10 minutes late. It happens. But 20 to 30 minutes late. Come on now. People have to go to work. Somebody job could be on the line.
2. Have you seen the subway stations i am talking about the filth, the smell and don’t get me started on the subway bathrooms. It’s the worse I ever been to in my whole life. And you must look at the floor because s@$^t be on the floor.
So here is my advice (from experience)
To avoid being late because of some of the buses being lazy. Leave 40 to one hour early. You be glad you did.
Never and I mean Never go to the subway bathrooms. Your best alternative is to go to Starbucks, of not that any place outside the subway.
Make sure you don’t flaunt your expensive gadgets such as I pads, samsung or any new model phones. Especially at night. Lots of crazy things happen at night. So keep your eyes open at all times.

Household item shopping with my mummy and aunties. Guess who carried all their bags?
When it’s dark out I don’t think this terminal is safe so please PAY ATTENTION, it’s cheap, as cheap as this weak attempt at humor.
I was happy we didn’t have to wait long for the N4. Dear fellow passengers, they take coins and coins only. Your stunts never fall to amaze me.
The End.

This bus terminal connects you to the train station where you can catch the E train on the upper level, the J train serves the lower level (very infrequently) & the Z train serves the lower level during rush hour only (I’ve yet to see this train & I’ve been using public transportation for over 10 + years). Where does the Z even go? Who knows because I surely don’t.
This bus terminal has elevators & escalators for anyone that has a disability, carrying luggage or has a stroller in tow.
The buses at this terminal consist of the: Q4, Q5, Q6, Q8, Q9 Q20A, Q20B, Q24 Q25 Q30 Q31, Q34, Q41, Q42, Q44, Q54, Q56, Q65, Q83, Q84, Q85, Q110, Q111, Q112, Q113 & the N4.
The Q5 is the worst bus to catch. It runs infrequently leaving you waiting at the terminal trying to figure why they’ve posted a bus schedule if the bus drivers do not adhere to it. The lines are super long so try to be the first 5 people waiting for the bus (& that’s for all of the buses at this station especially the Q5 local/​limited & the Q85 local/​limited).
Be careful because if you’re in the front of the line you’ll see people hanging around to try to blend in to cut in front of you. Although they see a line (long or short) they’ll cut just because they are rude with no manners.
The elderly ain’t no better!!! They think they have the right a way because they’re old. Honestly, I could care less. You’re suppose to get wiser & be mature as you age. These fools will walk with a cane & then fold it up & run for the bus. They’ll even catch an attitude with you if you don’t let them cut in front of you. Don’t get me wrong if you ask politely I’ll let you cut but if you demand it you’ll be waiting behind me. Let the person after me allow you to skip.

This is the Biggest Bus Terminal In Jamaica Queens or the Biggest in Queens… Well u could catch any bus from this Terminal From the N4 Q85 Q5 Q4 Q83 Etc… The Subway is The E & J and Z Trains So it’s convenient here … And the rush hours here around 4 or 6 in the evening it’s busy… But other then that the terminal is ok…
