Re: My Proposed Brooklyn Bus Network redesign

Nice to see a new one of these; lots of fun to read and imagine.

I'd say the most striking and novel idea is uniting the B67 and B70; but might it then be good to switch the northern portions of the B37 and B67? That is, the B37 at its north end would go via 7 Ave to Livingston/Court and the B67 at its north end would go via 3 Ave to Atlantic/Flatbush. (South of 39 St the routes would be as they are now). Yes, it takes away a full-length 3 Ave line, but it might make the routes more even in length and thus dependability. (Of course you can say keep the northern portions the same and switch the southern portions and call the routes what you will. . .it's the idea of interchanging them that I'm getting at).

I would also suggest at this point that having two services working "together" on 7 Ave was one of the positive elements of the 2010 service cuts and I don't think reversing it would be a good idea, so I'd keep the B69 on 7 Ave. Also, if I see correctly, if the B69 doesn't come to 7 Ave, then it never gives anyone an easy transfer to the 7 Ave service.

The Q45 idea is interesting, but would have to be integrated well into the Q22/35, which then takes us beyond the scope of Brooklyn.
