Posted by caine515 on Sun Sep 4 19:39:44 2011, in response to B74 observations, posted by DaRidgewoodBusBuff on Sun Sep 4 18:06:52 2011. The B74 reliability is actually much better than the B36. The B74 is needed even though the jittney cars compete for fares as well on Mermaid Avenue.It's needed because the B36 can't handle the load on it's own. Remember, the B36 starting from Nostrand Avenue and Avenue U. If it winds up being late before getting to Coney Island it winds up being SRO and is filled. B74 was cut in 1978 and reinstated 6 months later. The service is good and there is a dispatcher at Coney Island who keeps the B74 buses moving. There is also on occasion a spare UP bus there that is used if needed. |
