Option 1 - a morning commuter uses the new bus service from Riis park connecting to Sheepshead Bay B/Q station to eventually reach Wall Street:

Bus trip time - 27 minutes estimated (assume 7 minutes average wait at a 15-minute headway, 20 minutes travel time)

Subway trip time - 39 minutes estimated via (Q) to DeKalb Ave, (R) to Rector St.

Total trip time = 1 hour 6 minutes

Option 2 - the commuter uses the existing Q35 bus service from the Riis Park stop to connect to the Flatbush Avenue 2/5 station:

Bus trip time - 25 minutes estimated (5 minute average wait at a 10-minute a.m. headway, 20 minutes scheduled travel time)

Subway trip time - 34 minutes (4 minutes average wait time, 30 minutes via the (5) train to Bowling Green)

Total trip time = 59 minutes

Sorry, but your proposal appears to be a solution in search of a problem.
