Re: Bx27 Extension, SI Express Bus Changes, B35 Artic Conversion, Q6 & Q69 Enhancements

So looking at the new map, Downtown, it looks like the SIM1/4 are paired up at stops and the SIM2/32/34 are grouped up. Along 5th Avenue, it looks like the SIM3/8, SIM6/10/31, and SIM22/23/24/25/26/30 are grouped up. (Personally, I would've had the SIM30/31 put with the SIM3/8 since that would somewhat keep all the North Shore routes together for the people who can take the first bus that comes). With their proposed setup, North Shore riders have to choose in advance between the SIM3 & SIM30. Also, considering the entire Midtown-Hylan ridership base will be concentrated on the SIM6/10, that's another reason for them to have their own stops (the SIM31 can only really be used as a backup to head to the ETC)

As far as the northern Midtown terminals go, the SIM23/24 continue to terminate at 5th/Madison & 59th, the SIM3/6/10/30 terminate at Central Park South, and the SIM8/22/25/26/31 terminate at 57th & Lexington. Off-peak, the SIM1C/3C/4C all terminate at Central Park South and share their Manhattan stops going down.

Also, the SIM5X will apparently be skipping some stops in Manhattan (it will stop at Battery/Greenwich, Water/Whitehall, and Water/Fulton, and bypass Water/Old Slip and Water/Maiden, as well as stop short of Water/Frankfort)
