165th Street Bus Terminal
The 165th Street Bus Terminal, also known as Jamaica Bus Terminal,〔 the Long Island Bus Terminal (the name emblazoned on the entranceway's red tiles), or simply 165th Street Terminal, is a major bus terminal in Jamaica, Queens. Owned by MTA Regional Bus Operations, the terminal serves both NYCT and MTA Bus lines as well as NICE Bus lines to Nassau County, and was a hub to Green Bus Lines prior to MTA takeover. It is located at 89th Avenue and Merrick Boulevard, near the Queens Library. Most buses that pass through Jamaica serve either this terminal, the Jamaica Center subway station at Parsons Boulevard, or the LIRR station at Sutphin Boulevard.〔(【引用サイトリンク】format=pdf )〕 Unlike other major bus centers in New York City, there is currently no direct subway transfer available at the terminal. The closest subway station is 169th Street on Hillside Avenue served by the . Most buses traveling to/from the east, which operate via Hillside Avenue, also stop at 179th Street served by the .〔
==History==
Construction on the "Long Island Bus Terminal" began in 1930, built by the Shore Road Development Company, Inc. with the intent of expanding transit service to and from Long Island.〔 In August 1936, Bee-Line, Inc. (one of the predecessors to the Nassau Inter-County Express) opened the terminal. The terminal, which cost $1.5 million to build, featured a waiting room, lounge, and ticket offices. The bus terminal was enclosed by two one-story buildings on 165th Street and Merrick Boulevard respectively.〔〔 In 1952, the terminal was purchased by the Jamaica Realty Corporation, and in 1953 the New York City Transit Authority (today part of the MTA) took over operations of the terminal from the Board of Transportation. The terminal would later be served by North Shore Bus Company (a predecessor to the NYCT bus operations) and the Green Bus Lines company (predecessor to the JFK Depot-based MTA Bus Company lines).〔〔
Upon opening, the terminal served the BMT Jamaica Line's nearby terminal at 168th Street and Jamaica Avenue,〔 and would serve the IND Queens Boulevard Line's 169th Street station on Hillside Avenue upon its completion in 1937.〔 Following the closure of the 168th Street station in 1977, the bus terminal lost its only direct subway connection.〔
As originally built, the terminal had only one entry point, on its north side from 89th Avenue.〔 At some point, the structure on Merrick Boulevard was removed, allowing buses to turn directly onto the street or into the terminal.
