When you have traveling lights (lights turn green as you arrive at them), then you make the most out of skipping stops, because every time you stop you miss the light and lose up to 2 minutes. That's why SBS or limiteds will be most effective in those environments. I believe both Rogers and Nostrand, as well as Woodhaven, have these.As for Nostrand / Flatbush, it is a huge turnover point. People from Sheepshead Bay want that stop. So to have the B36 end at Ave U where all there is a "crosstown" bus is to cut it short of its potential. Run it to Flatbush / Nostrand. And the B36 is more frequent than the B44 local so non-SBS stops south of Flatbush would get some help. Less of a need to worry about having more SBS stops in the south. The B44 local (maybe best to renumber it) could then start at Flatbush and go north. This shorter run could also increase dependability. The issue that comes to mind is that there's practically no more space to turn buses around at Flatbush and Nostrand. |
