Posted by Concourse Express on Thu May 17 03:46:21 2012, in response to Re: Webster Av Select Bus Service Meeting - open house - 5/16/2012, posted by B49 Limited on Thu May 17 03:19:44 2012. It is a limited route and it still makes the same stops between Gun Hill and The Hub that the ol' 3rd Ave El once made. It supplements the Bx15 along 3rd Ave (indeed, it's more frequent than current Bx15 service, though service to/from Gun Hill is not so frequent).Methinks +SBS is a bit more than bells and whistles; all-door boarding does reduce dwell time somewhat, reducing overall running time (which, assuming # of buses remains unchanged, implicitly yields more frequent service). Implemented on the Bx55, it could lead to cash-savings that could be funneled toward more frequent Gun Hill service and/or restored weekend service. visit my blog! |
