Queens Surface Corporation

It served Long Island City, Woodside, Astoria, North Beach, College Point, Jamaica, and even the Queensboro Bridge.

As NY&QC faced bankruptcy in 1922, it began to sell off Steinway as a somewhat independent company.

On February 19, 1926, NY&QC established a bus division called the Queens-Nassau Transit Lines.

[6] Queens-Nassau buses replaced all NY&QC trolleys by 1937, with the last being motorized on October 30 of that year.

Shortly thereafter and before operations commenced, Linden Bus Company changed its name to Queens Surface Corporation.

[7][31] It was also the successor to the NY&QC Woodside Trolley Barn, which opened in 1896 and burned down on June 24, 1930.

[5][32] The front facade of the trolley barn survives as a Verizon store in the Tower Square Shopping Center.
