Posted by New Flyer #857 on Thu Nov 26 08:55:26 2015, in response to Re: B44--SBS, posted by Edwards! on Wed Nov 25 21:26:15 2015. In all fairness, I originally said I liked your idea of triple layer, but wasn't too clear and specific with the things I proposed.Anyway, part of my rationale with the B36 is that the main reason why we have B44 SBS at all is because of the portion of the route north of Flatbush. South of Flatbush just got caught in the trap because it was part of the same route. Ave R, as well as all stops south of Ave U, which made excellent use of the B44 limited, were hurt just because they were attached to the B44 line. Ideally they would send the Rogers/Nostrand SBS somewhere else besides Sheepshead Bay (Kings Plaza anyone)? because there's no law that says an SBS route must follow the same local all the way, but MTA doesn't know how to to do BRT as I've said many times. Or you can alternate SBS between Kings Plaza and Ave U, or just run it to Ave U. If the SBS was banished from Sheepshead Bay, maybe you could scrap all B44 service entirely south of Flatbush and have alternating B36s go from the Junction to Knapp St and the Junction to Coney Island. Is anyone really going from Sheepshead Bay to north of Flatbush? I do acknowledge, once again, the congestion at the Junction, as a problem for relaying another bus route like the B36. My biggest point is that there are options, and there are ways to extend the B36 to Flatbush without breaking the bank (or perhaps without even touching it). |
