Point Depot (CNG) The College Point Depot is located on 28th Avenue near Ulmer Street in the College Point section of Queens (), near the printing plant of The New York Times, the former site of Flushing Airport, and directly behind the headquarters of Queens Surface on land owned by New York City. The depot stores around 250 buses. Construction on the $43 million project began in 1993. The depot was supposed to be completed by spring 1996, but was delayed to October 1997 because the general contractor for the project quit the job. As of June 1996, the project was 60% completed. In August 1996, the electrical contractor stopped work on the project due to a contract dispute with the NYCDOT. The depot opened on October 31, 1997, a year ahead of a previous estimate. The depot increased the number of its wash bays from 1 to 3, and doubled the company's repair bays to 24. It was built with space for 275 buses and 400 cars. This was the first CNG fueling station to be built by and owned by the city. It is owned by the New York City Department of Transportation and leased to MTA Bus. It had been leased to Queens Surface Corporation before the lease was taken over by MTA Bus. Many buses under Queens Surface used compressed natural gas, and all local bus service from this depot operates using CNG provided by Trillium CNG. In 2006, a unified command center for MTA Bus Company was established at the depot. Also, plans are underway to modify this depot to accommodate articulated-buses in the very near future.
