Posted by Mr RT on Tue Jul 12 07:57:54 2011, in response to Re: What is wrong with Select Bus Service, posted by BrooklynBus on Fri Jul 8 18:16:29 2011. I haven't replyed to your remarks here earlier because I wanted to do a little research. Even with this I will freely admit I'm not to farmiliar with the TRAFFIC in Brooklyn, i.e. Bayridge/Shore Road.First I don't see a B82 on the Brooklyn Bus map ? Second B9 & B16 ... Bayridge to Flatbush Ave (2/5 subway) and Bayridge to Prospect Park (B/Q subway) respectively. Plus B1 Bayridge to Brighten Beach. I get the feeling you are saying that improved service on these three, "... save at least 15 minutes ...", could make a case for eliminating the Express service there (X27 & X28). That is a big stretch to think that 15 minutes saved going East to catch a subway is going to be able to replace a one seat ride to Manhattan, but it bears further thought since Express service is a big money looser. Now how about a new topic ... use the Bayridge RxR line as a Brooklyn-Queens cross town bus line ? It gose from the Hudson River all the way to Fresh Pond, and is at least wide enough for 2 or 3 lanes. I wouldn't go any further North then the NY & Atlantic yard at Fresh Pond, because they need that CP/P&W/CSX connection. This would also mean the cross harbor rail traffic would go away. |
