However, one thing I would do to make it useful on the northern end is to extend it by about half-a-mile to Fordham and Valentine...and then re-assign the Bx15 to Kingsbridge, using Kingsbridge Road to deadhead. (The Bx9 would go to West Farms Depot in return.) The savings would be in reduced deadhead time for both routes, as the Bx9 would have a 1-minute run-off and a 3-minute run-on and the Bx15 would not have to use Fordham Road and Southern Boulevard to deadhead. In addition, route reliefs would occur with empty buses at the terminal.(The Bx9's deadhead is currently short, but it requires a mid-route cut in and cut-out.) |
