I know some of you may have seen this on another board but for those that didn't I post it here as well. The oldest Steinway Transit Express schedules I have are dated 1/2/76 and included separate lists of stops. The handouts at the time were extremely poor quality. Although you can't tell on this post, the schedule portion was 6" x 6" while the stops list was 8.5" x 7.5." A few years later Steinway (and Queens Transit) much improved on what they provided and I'll post those soon.

Less than eight years after printing the poor quality information that we previously saw, in November 1983 Steinway Transit got professional and provided a four-color map showing stops (really a diagram - geography is only suggested), timetables and fare information in one handy folder.

Interesting....surprised that Steinway rather than Queens Transit ran those routes, when you consider that Queens Transit territory was closer to that area in general...
I was living away from New York in that era, so my knowledge is poor in that regard.... |

Oh...they divvyed up the runs between the two...interesting. Thanks for posting. When did they assign the 'QM-' route numbers to those routes? |

From 1983 we’ll roll past the 1986 merger of Queens/Steinway Transit, the 1988 sale to Linden Bus which quickly became Queens Surface Corp., which soon got permission to drop the QM-3 and Wall Street runs that Caravan Bus picked up and later returned in early 1990.
The c. 1990 map below is a combination of the earlier Steinway and Queens Transit ones and still omits route numbers while the separate September 1990 timetable includes them.
