MTA Bus/NYCT: PM Rush Hour Bus Action Along 57th Street (Revisited)

Taken on 4/8/2026 Seen here is 40 minutes of rush hour bus action at 5th Avenue and Madison Avenue, taken between 4 PM-5:30 PM. We can see a variety of express buses from each borough going to their respective boroughs and local buses that go within Manhattan. Compared to the last time I've fanned here, a lot of things have changed. The major things that changed are the Q32 under LGA, X63, X64, X68 receiving "QM" prefixes, and the new Prevost that are entering service to replace the MCI D4500CLs.
