I don't see how genesis has anything to do with current realities. I
mean, the US was originally founded for white male property-owners
disgruntled with British control of the economy. Fact is, the bus is a
commuter bus that happens to go to the airport -- its very design
suggests this (true airport busses are mostly standing room-only, to
make way for luggage).

Hmm, I wonder if the M35 still touches down in Queens today....

Too bad it doesn't stretch into Manhattan -- at least 'til Lexington
Avenue. Doesn't make sense that there is only one bus over the
Triboro, while the Queensboro has got like, what, four or five lines
criss-crossing it every half hour.
