Posted by B49 Limited on Tue May 15 04:17:59 2012, in response to Re: Why Northern Brooklyn Needs Better Bus Service, posted by Edwards! on Tue May 15 03:36:57 2012. B48 and B 49 merging - eventually going to happen thanks to SBS B 44 ridership pattern changes (should happen now, most B 48 riders that end up at Fulton St are B 49/ Franklin Shuttle pax)Q 24 to Woodhull - not happening B 15 Limited - Yes in this format: All East NY buses run local, All JFK buses run limited, skips Postal Fac. I can see it as a pilot program with rush hour only service, since it is the only time lately where there are buses going to each branch. Lately since the cuts, MTA seems to consolidate more of the JFK buses to run via Postal Fac and reduced Postal Fac bound only buses dramatically. SBS B 38 - not a bad consideration. Return of the B 51 or B 39 - not happening, however extending the M 21 or some have suggested an SBS M 15 to Washington Plaza is not a bad idea either. Other things I have considered B 43 extended to Long Island City breaking up the B 24 with a Greenpoint B 24/Q 104 (can happen) and Williamsburg B 24/Q 33. Fixing the B 69 to either become a loop route with the B 67 or rerouting it to Williamsburg (prefered choice) Modifying the B 7 to serve Brookdale Hosp, discontinuing B 20 and replacing it with B 7 extendion to Ridgewood. (in result run the B 20 via Penn Av making it more like a B 83A/ B 83 B route or just getting rid of it) |
