True enough. But if I were going to take the Q10 to JFK with luggage, I would never try to board it at Lefferts and Liberty, where the bus is likely to be crowded. I would take the E or the F to Union Turnpike/Kew Gardens and board it there, at the beginning of its run, in the hopes of getting a seat, and being able to stow my luggage under it.
