Posted by New Flyer #857 on Wed Nov 27 08:29:00 2013, in response to Nostrand and Ave Y, 7:50a.m., in the rain. . ., posted by New Flyer #857 on Wed Nov 27 08:18:41 2013. Text of the complaint:At 7:50a.m., this morning, Wednesday, Nov. 27, two Select-Bus-Service B44 buses crossed each other (one going northbound, the other southbound) at Ave Y and Nostrand. The total amount of passengers on both buses combined was 0 (zero). Meanwhile, many were standing at the local bus stops (both directions at the same intersection) in the rain needing service. Select-Bus-Service on the B44 needs to be completely retrofitted, or else eliminated. While I continue to believe that SBS should be a complementary service to existing transit (not a replacement of an entire line, such as the B44 limited), and does not need to follow existing services, the existing SBS service on Nostrand Ave should be adjusted so that those who live near extreme ends of the line (south of Ave U and north of Flushing) should be able to most benefit from SBS. That would mean having SBS make local stops in these sections, as the B44 limited used to do. If this cannot be arranged, the proposal of B44 Select-Bus-Service should be eliminated and, in the future, more common-sense proposals should be put into place. Select-Bus-Service should be used to complement the subway system and other existing transit. In Brooklyn this is best accomplished by an east-west SBS line, not a north-south one as is the B44. |
