Posted by Gotham Bus Co. on Tue Jul 13 18:11:09 2010, in response to Re: Assemblyman Dinowitz (Bronx) asks for paper transfers {cutback on Bx20}, posted by TheHat on Tue Jul 13 14:39:49 2010. [Why don't we just switch the Bx10 with the Bx7 through south Riverdale?]Then the Bx7 would completely overlap with the Bx20, which would allow NYCT to kill the Bx20 altogether! Meanwhile, Spuyten Duyvil would lose its link to points east of Broadway, while lower Riverdale Avenue would lose its link to points south of 231st. A bit of history... Until 1989, the section of Riverdale Avenue between 231st and 239th was served weekdays only (originally by the old Bx10, then by the Bx7) and Spuyten Duyvil had the primary service (the original M100, later supplemented by the current Bx10). In March of 1989, the M100 was shortened to 207th Street, with the upper part becoming Bx20. (All these years later, the Riverdale crowd still resents the rather rude reminder that they aren't part of Manhattan.) At the same time, the Bx7 was extended south from 207th to 168th. |
