I haven't seen your previous posts, but I fully agree with you. There are at least a dozen route modifications in Brooklyn that I thought of as far back as 1972 which took the MTA as long as forty years to think of. I have about forty more. So I guess I will have to wait another 160 years until they realize what I knew as long as 40 years ago.

Let's see what I proposed in 1972 that was eventually done: B38 extension. B11 extension eastward of 18 Av. B43, B47, B57 western extension south on Jay, splitting B61 into two routes and incorporating B77, elimination of B75, and B1 along 86 Street.

(Part east of 25 Av, I recommended in 1975 which they accepted along with other southwest Brooklyn changes I recommended (including elimination of B21, western extension of B3, B36 modification from Neptune to Avenue Z and rerouting of B49 to serve Sheepshead Bay station.

I also recommended in 1972 moving the B44 from NY Avenue to Rogers Avenue and replacing New York Avenue service with a new route and straightening B49 to continue north along Ocean Avenue. (Only the B44 SBS was moved to Rogers.)

Now with the B41 SBS proposal they are proposing to reroute the B9 to Bergen Beach which I also proposed in 1972. If that happens it will be about fifty years since I proposed that one.
