Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Looking at an unusual queue structure at the QM16 bus stop at the west end of Rockaway Beach Boulevard in Jacob Riis Park, Rockaway, Queens. Similar to the crowd control structures found at taxi stands in airports, though much more decrepit, this structure was constructed by the BMT's Brooklyn Bus Corporation circa 1940 to serve the B2 route from Brooklyn. It likely later served the B9 and B46 routes when they operated to the park in the 1980s. Today, the structure is extremely overgrown and rusted, and probably hasn't been used in a long time. The QM16, which begins and ends service at Riis Park to/from Midtown Manhattan, probably doesn't have the passenger load to justify using the structure, although the route might be using the bus stop in front of the bathhouse. Looking northeast.
