Posted by checkmatechamp13 on Sat Jun 16 02:07:31 2018 http://web.mta.info/mta/news/books/pdf/180618_1000_transit-bus.pdfI think they're being pretty cheap in just extending select Bx27 trips (instead of just moving the Bx27/39 terminal to the park). It's less than a quarter mile away (basically one stop), and there are still homes within walking distance of the ferry terminal (so there's neighborhood residents in the immediate area who would benefit from the extension as well). It appears there's sufficient layover space in the park at a glance from Google Streetview. In any case, with reference to the SI express plan, it irritates me that at the last minute, they changed the SIM33 route to operate straight down Victory & Richmond instead of using that shortcut they originally set up via Morani/Christopher. Now they have to sit in traffic, which affects real-life X10B riders (and some former X12 riders heading to Greenwich Village), in order to prevent imaginary complaints from the area (I've been to the meetings and never saw that issue brought up). That SIM30 branch to Rosebank should be interesting. While the old X18 did see decent ridership, I suppose they feel that Downtown riders can take the local bus to either the ferry or Narrows Road (for an express bus), whereas Midtown riders have slightly fewer options (the local bus to the ferry requires an additional transfer to the subway, while for those who opt to take a bus down to Narrows Road, the SIM15/35 will not service Midtown, which especially affects those living near the S74/76). |
